Why the fuck would we try and help Chelsea balance the books? Cucarella will be an expensive fee, expensive wages and he's looked wonky. Not the kind of player I'm expecting us to sign.

Liverpool never properly replaced Mane, but how could you, the guy was phenomenal.

I would put McGinn on man-marking duties with Palmer and hopefully leave Douggie free to play forward more (and give less free kicks away near the penalty area!), but of course Emery is an elite level football tactician and I am regularly out-flanked playing Hungry Hippos, so obviously I'll...

Money please

Who knows whether he'd have stayed if Emery was already here and if he'd have the right attitude to push on here with the other younger players. In hindsight, leaving Villa with Gerrard at the helm isn't totally not understandable but he's managed to get out of one clown car into a much bigger...

We need to be wary of Chelsea as they do have the ability to click (seemingly by luck rather than judgement) but I expect Emery to have a strong plan for them after they spanked us in the cup.

The skin on my left arm is like leather now as I keep on having to pinch myself so often.

The 2-touch, turn and pass he did to put Ollie through looked effortless,

The comparisons are clear but I'd love to see them in the same side on top form. Defenders would rightly shit their pants with those two running at them.

The little dink off Solanke's toe just as he was about to shoot was so smooth.

He's so wasted at right back it hurts. I understand why we have to play him there a lot of the time but I can't wait until he's permanently back where he belongs.

Thanks, I needed a laugh

The question is, which club bigger than us would give Emery the level of control he has here? I'm struggling to think of one. What he's done for us is extraordinary but also what we've done for him is equally extraordinary.

Lol. Or should that be l'ol?

I shouldn't still be thinking about the ref's performance but it was so horrendously bad I think it's just going to be how I remember this game. A yellow card everytime the crowd shouted basically. Encroached and moved in the peripheral vision of multiple penalty takers. Booked Emi for asking...

Feckin Greeks!

Glad you mentioned Kahn especially as Martinez had that "weight" or "aura" you just don't see so much anymore. He affects a game so much even when he's not making saves but through just being on the pitch.

Guardian: "That thing you like is bad, actually"

That's not shithousing though is it? That's a ref absolutely out of control

He asked a ball boy for a ball
