It was the last half hour where we just fell apart completely. We were still in it until that point, and even when the goal went in I thought if we get one back quickly enough there's plenty of time to push for the draw. I know McGinn wasn't doing much but move him to the other side, or replace him with an attacking player. Emery either has no faith in any of our subs at that point, or he thought we were playing a 2 leg tie.I wasn't sure why he took off McGinn, but I can sure as hell see why he brought on Carlos: he had to give the guy some minutes, given the loss of Mings! I'd have taken off Cash for Carlos.I just hope watching Konsa getting destroyed at RCB (of a three) or Cash further up was enough evidence for Emery not to try it again. We seem to have wasted a lot of pre season trying to get the third centre back into the team. It won't work and unbalances the team completely. I just fear the easy way out will be taken v Everton with Konsa at RB and Cash dropped..

No lines drawn when they're checking offsides for goals against us.But when we score, you can guarantee they'll bring in fucking NASA to show that a hair on Ollie's shin was 1.5774 nanometres beyond the last defender.

Lines drawn wouldn't have helped our case.

I think by how the rules are drafted they’re all onside. That being said though I think the rules make it incredibly hard to defend. I think if someone is getting an advance from being well offside, which enables them to be in an advanced position when the next phase begins it feels inherently dodgy.
They just analysed some of the game on Monday Night Football on Sky, it has to be said that Kamara had an absolute shocker. All over the place for their goals.
If emi had been sent off we would have olsen in goal vs Everton. Yikes
