Never done a Pre-Match thread but I've just woken up and figured people wouldn't mind me starting the discussion.

• Koeman/Pelle Pre-match conference

• Koeman's Preview

• Caulker Interview

I'm Glad to see Koeman approaching this game with a winning mindset even though we're 3-0 up. Personally I thought that we were underwhelming in the first leg and need to improve drastically before we play the bigger teams in the PL. In contrasty, apparently West Ham have left half of their first team at home for a tie that they're drawing which I think is disrespectful to the Europa League, Fair Play League and their fans.

As much as I want the first team to get to their best quickly, I do want to see a bit of rotation tonight; Specifically, I want to see JWP and Reed get a lot of minutes. I also want to see more of Caulker before I judge him but I think it's best that we keep a generally consistent back 4 for the early parts of the season.

Apart from that, I just want to see us play with some freedom and get a clean sheet (maybe with a nice cameo goal from J.Rod)

Edit: Teamsheet - Stekelenburg, Caulker, Fonte (c), Yoshida, Martina, Wanyama, S. Davis, Ward-Prowse, Tadić, Mané, Pellè.
