Someone is going to have to have a wee word with AJ. This cautious, patient approach to signings is not the Motherwell way. Does he not know, that each season, we sign 15+ loan signings, who fall into one of three categories: signed while injured, injured during first appearance or injured during training session. This sensible approach is worrying ...

Said over on P&B, we seem a far more credible club now from top to bottom. Slowly eroding the 'plucky wee club' culture to become a more serious outfit. Is there any going back now?

So many great performances tonight. Special mention to Lowry, who really came good and put in tremendous effort. No doubting his commitment and attitude tonight, both were excellent. I realise that Said will take the plaudits for his game changing contributions, but for me Moorman is class. He completely controlled the backline and his passing through the lines is reminiscent of Watt. What a player he could be for us this season. Moorman for me.

Knees killing me after jumping up twice for two outstanding goals. Banging them on seat back in front , take that every game if we play like that. Should be a rule you don't leave til the passage way is clear. 🤣 Ok when every one has a t shirt on the now , but Jan and Feb when its two jackets and layers time will be a right laugh, passing each other. 😃

That was one for the ages. A very professional performance against the biggest club in Finland. Ok they are not Barcelona, but this is a team who qualify for Europe most seasons and have reached the group stages only a few years ago. We schooled them. Thought Lowry and Said were superb. Moorman is a step up on Welsh, he is that good and was delighted to see Olly Whyte stroll about the park like a veteran midfielder. Whats brilliant about being a Motherwell fan these days is that this is not just a flash in the pan, this is it now. We are a football club who has grasped the fact you need to modernise and play football the right way and the rewards will come.

Not sure what was more outrageous last night. Said's goals or the queues for a pie! 🤣

Wearing same number as well

Very reminiscent of another former Rangers player who arrived at Fir Park trying to resurrect his career.....

It doesn’t half put a spring in your step doesn’t it. That was absolutely brilliant last night and I’m struggling to keep the smile off my face. I’m in work, it’s a Friday ….. it’s a good day. For any of you who are football obsessed (me) Freiburg are playing Crystal Palace tomorrow (it’ll be on the firestick and I’m sure other reputable mediums) should give us an idea of their starting team as I believe it’s their last friendly before the German league starts

An epic night that will live long in my memory. Credit to AJK and the players.

You can see that right now his footballing brain is a step ahead of some of his team mates, but a few more weeks together and they should be in sync.

So tempted to go with Said but I thought Lowry was great tonight with some cutting passes - could be a great signing once others get used to him.

I might be wrong but is it not taken from who votes for them rather than someone picking him? If I’m right then someone’s taking the piss

The gaffer today:

The man does great interviews:

So many great performances in defence and midfield but Captain Chaos aka Said shades it for me, because goals win matches. I hope he gains confidence from his impressive contributions and scores many more this season.

Yes, and gracious thanks to them for that, but where are the Scottish TV highlights? It seems only The Uglies are worthy of notice by the cameras. At least Peter Martin on PLZ gave us a glowing report, so well done to him.

Everyone was a 7/10 or above tonight so feels kinda unfair to single anyone out. The entire backline were magnificent. Oscar and Faddy did Oscar and Faddy things. Lowry showed his range of passing is gonna be up there this season and a special mention for Olly Whyte who put in a real shift when he came on and showed he is someone we could be getting excited about very soon. MOTM though is SAID. He is box office every week, but those 2 goals are ridiculous! Ifbhe keeps that up another club record transfer fee will be incoming!

I was always confident there were plenty of ball playing central defenders out there to replace Welsh, but credit to the recruitment team to come up with one that is so good.

Dont want to get carried away, but..... That was magnificent. Certainly the best European performance Ive seen at Fir Park and as dominant a display as I think Ive seen in any game. Helsinki barely had a shot on goal all night and we could have easily scored 5 or 6. They could barely get the ball off us until we shut up shop and went 5 at the back. Is this how football is supposed to be? Great credit to the manager and the players for hitting the ground running. Im sure most of us had the fear that we had seen the last of performances like that when Jens and our 3 best players left in the summer. Its testament to them and the recruitment team that a seemless transition is well underway. Bravo Motherwell! 🧡❤️🧡

So many to choose from but went for JGR. Solid defensively when in the centre then remarkably the out ball / furthest forward multiple times from Poulsen when HJK were throwing everything at us.

just curiosity on my part - but did the Physio's have a night off tonight, can't recall any injury stoppages that required attention.

That was a European night to remember. The atmosphere was electric. It is great to see Fir Park rocking. No failures on the pitch for Motherwell. Star man for me tonight was Moorman, he was superb in that defence. Lowry looks to be fitting in nicely. Fadinger and Priestman were imperious in the midfield. Said is adding scoring to his game, which is great to see. Olly Whyte looks every bit a first team player. I'm sure that he'll get plenty of game time this season. A great time to be a Well fan. Who's off to Freiburg. See you there. COYW!

Here are the highlights on YouTube courtesy of HJK TV.

I thought we played, I didnt like the fact it was the same tactics hjk used and we didnt pick up on it. 1 player going short and the other going long then a long ball over the top. cacile for them number seven has some decent pace and ability and also mero on the other side id defo inquiry about them. And this time pukki didnt get a proper sniff at goal. But overall we played and beat another seeded team
