Nyland at least produced one world class display that got us to a cup final, which for me elevates him above that group a little.

I remember him more in the championship, wasnt there a circus of a performance v West Brom? Maybe redeemed himself a bit in that cup run alright.
Quote from: cdbearsfan on November 10, 2022, 10:48:17 PMEither he's a lot better than he's shown (hopefully) or it's really mad that he's Sweden's best goalkeeper. I mean Sweden is a proper country. If you told me he was Gibraltar's first choice I'd be thinking "surely they can do better".Spoiler for Witty riposte for anyone who thinks this would be an opportune moment to make a jibe about Scotland: Piss off.As I said in the match thread, you can say the same for Croatia and Kalinic.

Who the fuck scouted this guy?

I'd acknowledge that this guy hasn't played much first team football so that added to his struggle.I'll maintain that Olsen and Martinez would both struggle with the ball at their feet and distribution.Overall Martinez is the number one by some distance as a goalkeeper but the point stands I would have concerns on the possession of any goalkeeper under Emery but accepting that's the managers style.It may not be to the strengths and preferred way but will go along with it.

How is he the best in Sweden?He isn't. But football managers in Sweden are no different to other countries: Many coaches play their favorites regardless of form or performance. See Southgate for an illustrative example. Olsen has been mediocre ever since his first (half) season at Roma. He was dropped by Sheffield United in the Championship, which I think sums him up.

At least he had a decent first-half...
