Olsen is easily one of the worst keepers ive seen play for Villa in 30 years

The thing is, Olsen surely practices the same passing routines in training as Martínez. So why can't he be semi-competent at it?

We saw the Arsenal keeper give away a goal last Friday by trying to play it out from the back right down the middle of the penalty area. All players should be told this is a definite no no. Play to the sides if needs must but not to the middle of the penalty area.

We'll let Mikel Arteta know.

It's not just that, he's shit at absolutely everything. That header he spilled was as tame as you're ever going to get.

In his defence, he spilled it because his starting position was awful and he has the footwork of an ent.

When he let that ball go on the ground his reaction time was akin to a sloth after a night on the rum punch. Awful.

Watching match of the day with my missus on Saturday night, she wasn't aware Martinez had gone off. When he spilled that weak header that led to the miss she said:

"I thought he's supposed to be the best in the world?"

"No bab, he had to go off at half time, that's his replacement"

"Oh God, where did they find him?

Only saw highlights of game but that was a great chance Ramsey missed. Not sure how he managed it put it over from that close. Two excellent passes from Luiz and Buendia in the build up. Fine equaliser too, kind of football Jack Charlton or Graham Taylor would have relished, just penned them into their box until the inevitable equaliser. Olsen at his usual party tricks when he came on. Take the point and move on.

Ramsey was being sandwiched by two defenders for that shot, it was a difficult one to execute.

Watched the highlights again and it really was piss poor defending from both full backs for their goal. Moreno was nowhere near the winger and didn't stop the cross, and Toney didn't have to do much after Young's swing and a miss trying to clear it.

They worked us out and used a system  that stopped us playing the type of flowing football we executed so well a week ago. I think Emery is good enough to make adjustments  that will put us back on track against Fulham. Getting injured players back will  also help.

Ashley swung with the wrong foot, he didn't trust his left. Which is a bit shit at 38.

How old is his other foot?

I'm possibly being harsh on him even though he is shit but I thought he was slow getting across to his near post leaving the gap for them to score.
