How was Lowry this evening?

His best game so far. I think he will do well and looks more than willing to put in the hard work off the ball as well.

So the BBC has Cicale as MOM. I Didn’t catch the first 30 mins but really??

Another fantastic result and another great crowd 

It is good that there is now a confidence going into these type of games that we will actually get a result 👍

Fantastic performance by the team tonight, Fir Park was bouncing, and a huge huge shout out for Siad, absolutely class finishes, we need to keep a hold of him and extend his contract, massive performances by Siad, Longo, Moorman, Oscar, Lucas no negatives for me, Mas lacking in confidence but im sure a goal will come aling soon!

A free hit against Freiburg, nothing to loose and they wont feel they have an easy game, huge game next week at The Camp Neu, CMYW!!!!!!!

Start to finish we controlled that game, fluidity and good finishing. Obviously HJK didn't watch Falkirk's shithousing tactic.

Could be. I imagine there is a bump up in the numbers since last season.

[wellup83]

Utterly dominant from start to finish.

One of the most memorable nights I've had at Fir Park. Enjoy the bragging rights tomorrow Well fans and be sure to get tore into those of the blue side of Glasgow. 😁

If someone can point me towards an all round better performance from a Motherwell team i will stand corrected...incredible performance all over the park.

Given the circumstances, it would be hard to beat (unless we beat Freiburg!)

Well that was fkn brilliant…. What a night 

it’s a wee bit annoying that I’m in and can’t find any highlights of Said’s goals …. Scouring social media for the goals and cheap flights to Germany. 

[MFC-craig]

Great performance, not one player less than 7/10. Said was electric, Lowry very impressive and a much improved performance from Maswanhise.  
 

Frieburg haven’t played a competitive game so far, hopefully we can catch them cold and get them running!

That is as competent and controlled a game as we've ever played in Europe. For someone whose has been totally unfussed by European games over the last 30 years because of some inept dire performances I really enjoyed that. We were as close to our best performances last year. No failures quality performance. Did anyone hear Andy Halliday say we got £7 million for Just on Sportsound tonight.

Seriously? I don't recall him doing much, not even their best player on the night.

[Welly Machine]

Brilliant team performance and great atmosphere. What a night!

Only disappointment was Said never got a hat-trick, which he could easily have had. 5-0 wouldn't have flattered us.

If ever there was a goal where a player "waltzed through the opposition" it was Said's second.

I think I was the only one who thought Lowry was really poor in the first half? I didn’t think he was at it at all, kept giving the ball away and was pretty weak at times but his 2nd half until he was hooked was brilliant. I thought it was like watching a different player, really confident, great work rate….. not sure what Alfred said to him at half time but it worked.

You weren't alone, I thought he was pretty poor for a while first half. To be fair though, he didn't hide and certainly grew into the game late first half and into the second.

Typical crapola from the BBC. On Sportsound it took them over 45 minutes to mention Hibs or Motherwell from the time I got into the car to come home, while they obsessed about Rangers being rank.

This was a great team performance tonight  and it was so encouraging to see us maintain our passing game with the new manager and a squad in transition. The confidence the younger players will get from being trusted later on in the game will be important (brave decision by Alfred) and I thought Whyte looked very assured. Lowry seems to be more confident now that he knows his role and his linking work on the turn for Said's first goal was excellent: shades of Just?

A fantastic atmosphere and full credit to The Bois, who never stopped singing all night.

It's a great time to be a 'Well fan because i really feel we can only get better.

[weeyin]

The MOTM on the BBC match reports is an average of the accumulated fan votes on the website. Nothing to do with what the reporters or pundits think.

Been that way for many years.

I need to comment on the Referee.

In the two European ties the referees have been streets ahead of the utter shite that passes for refereeing in Scotland. Let the game flow. Compare it to that fud who refereed the Falkirk game. Most Scottish games the chat after the game revolves around the referees incompetence. Two European ties and no such discussions.   

[claretband]

I’m sure JBA will be watching from afar and feel so proud

According to the wiki page it's a bit better than that at 

• Second qualifying round elimination: €350,000 + €175,000 per qualifying round played
• Third qualifying round elimination: €550,000 + €175,000 per qualifying round played
• Play-off round elimination: €750,000 + €175,000 per qualifying round played

In addition to the €750,00 there is also €175,000 per qual round so 3 x €175,000 is €525,000 so a total of €1,275,000 which is quite a bit of money even accounting for the additional expense.

Plus of course over €3M if we qualify for the group stages although I'd imagine the €1.275M will be deducted.
