VFL Wolfsburg Vs. Everton FC - Europa League Grp H - Thursday 27th Nov - 18:00KO

[Dario Terracotta]

I can't believe how negative some people on here are.

I'm not a beaming ray of sunshine who sees positives in everything but come on!

We've a scored two brilliant counterattacking goals and kept a clean sheet against one of Europe's most in form teams to top the group.

Smile.

OK

 

[toffeejack]

They had 30+ shots, but only about 7 were on target

howard didn't have any tough saves to make did he? a couple where good saves, but ones you'd expect him to make. it's like that pointless stat about balotelli having more shots than us in the last derby.

Obviously it's not nailed on, but winning the EL would get two birds stoned at once. ITS ON

 

[marty mcfly]

Maybe it was the fact i knew we were already through, but i was never worried about them hurting us, always felt comfortable watching them attack.

That Perisic was brilliant though, we'd destroy all before us with him on one wing and Kev on the other

Yea he needs to be our number one target in January. We won't be able to play him in the Europa but he'll be boss for the league.

 

[Toffeemeister]

Great result today and good to see us winning the group. I just hope we can string a decent team together on Sunday.

we can still finish 4th and win it imo. but we can't if we continue with this bad injury luck. if we had liverpool's luck we'd be laughing

 

[Furey1878]

Nice work!

What a great record.

I owe it all to google, but cheers .

Sniff it, Germany.

 

[davek]

Think people are being way too harsh on Wolfsburg. I cant believe they haven't got at least 2 or 3 there tonight.

We basically rode our luck and countered them brilliantly. On another night that could have been 4-2 for them.

Hopefully we avoid trips to Turkey/Greece and being drawn against Spanish teams in the next round. Not because I don't think we can beat these teams, I just want a more simplified route for us.

Looking at the teams currently in second place in the Europa groups, Aalborg look like the team that everyone will want in the next round. Torino would be a nice draw, too. They've struggled without Immobile and Cerci this season and Turin is a nice city to visit.

....think I remember us playing Aalborg in the 60s.

 

[Blues Harp]

Roberto loves Europe Comps ...I think we will do well in the KO stages ...without pens Superb Blues

 

[Moggers]

Shock, horror. My RS neighbour said that is how you play away in Europe, and patted me on the shoulder'

Go and wash that shoulder lid

I know what you mean mate but in a purely selfish way Greece would be just ace for a few of us on here.

 

[Dannymini]

Two great penultimate passes that lead to goals and that's 2 games in a row now where he's looked really good in the deeper role.
Was even good defensively occupying the right spaces and closing down players which is the most surprising part.

Actually wins headers aswelaswel

They won the passing.

I agree they could have had a couple of goals, but still felt we were the better side.......
