Hope Emi isn't out for any length of time. This guy doesn't look up to much.

He won't be out at all will he. Sounded like he was right as rain after the match.

I wasn't sure if there were any specific rules after being brought off for concussion?

Wasn't this the guy whom Everton binned after a loan period last season? - doesn't that say something about his ability to be in the Prem?

Sheffield United had him and general consensus there is that he's shit.

Lange and Gerrard I thought. He's a really bobbins keeper though. Steer if fit would be a better bet.

Videos of Emery's first training session show Olsen playing football very clearly.
And there was no video of saving and his goalkeeping, only Olsen participating in play and having possession of the ball.
Telling
No Martinez either.

But with both of them away for the World Cup how is Emery to integrate and implement his strategy of playing out from the back without our first and second choice keepers.

Good point. I guess poor Jed will have to train vicariously.

The last I saw of Jed was an unfortunate injury to him playing for Luton last season from something innocuous.
In all honesty thought he had been moved on in the summer

I suspect Martinez will have been resting this week. Concussion protocols are 6 days rest.

First choice for me  is Martinez for sure. But..
Good point. I guess poor Jed will have to train vicariously.
I wonder if Olsen will be given the cup match or even Brighton and Martinez gets his wish to be ready for Argentina.
I realized that now as actually Sweden aren't at the world cup so Olsen will be working extensively with Garcia and Emery over the break whereas Martinez will have his mind and time on Argentina and World Cup glory.

I do feel there's an opportunity here for Olsen and he'll be ahead of Martinez come boxing day.

He won't, because he's not good enough.
