Commentator mentioned yesterday that whenever were attacking or defending a set piece, Emery tells MacPhee to go in the technical area and take over.

Only one coach has been allowed in the technical area this season and when we have a set-piece, Emery steps back and lets MacPhee have the area.

I wonder whether UEFA will kick Legia Warsaw out of the competition after last night. They've said they're investigating what happened. We might have already won the group.

That's the sign of Emery being utterly confident and not needing to chuck his weight around. A bit different from one of Gerrard's early games when he ordered MacPhee out of his seat in no uncertain terms.

Very rare for sanctions on crowd trouble to be that punishment. Fine and closed doors / away fan travel ban for later games or next season.

They’re through the ice and looking for a life raft.

However, his hair does remain entirely unacceptable.

It’s shorter than mine :)

Has Olsen been Emeryed?

Seems to be the case.  Good distribution tonight.

Still had my heart in my mouth a couple of times with passes that were very close to being cut out. He could argue they were perfection. He didn't do anything wrong at all tonight. But he didn't have a save to try and make, no keeper in the world saves their goal.

I thought he looked massively relieved every time a pass went to one of our players. Still didn't fill me with confidence.

I hope the miserable prick in the Yard birds queue before the game gets the shits, he was lucky not to be eating his own teeth.

Probably would have tasted better.

Didn't get out of 3rd gear, did what we needed to be done. A few unforced errors we need to cut out. Bloody freezing, and weird with no away fans.

The McGinn positioning was a great way of gaming the current offside rules. Didn't touch the ball, caused an element of confusion, but didn't directly interfere with the game.

He was the marker for the free kick.
If you watch where Moreno met the ball it was virtually right on where SJM started before backing off.

So he pretended to be Watkins as Luiz can always find him?

I think our fitness told in the end. Our lads were starting to tire, but they were Legia.

I apologise.

Don't apologise, I thought the same but unfortunately missed the obvious joke unlike you.

The apology stands. I didn't see the game so the post was entirely for the pun, which is poor form.
