Robin Olsen (The World's Number Two)

[Footy-Vill]

Weak kicking out as have to voice this as it wasn't overly impressive to be giving the ball away to create Man Utd goal.
There will be the danger under Emery that such mistakes will occurr whoever the goalkeeper as habit.

A few good saves but we need another back up keeper and to push on. Even with Martinez as much as we love Emi I concerned they'll be similar issues with the strategy of football as he will inist to playing out from from the back and Martinez isn't particularly strong aspect in his game

Olsen isn't Martinez that's clear and he may continue to get match time but with Emi Martinez we more comfortable and solid as a keeper and know he is far better all round.  I don't think Olsen is suited so much for number one role. But is Martinez with the clear way Emery wants to play. I'm not very sure about that either

He’s not good enough. He won’t be here much longer. We played ok, and well enough to win. But this keepers record whenever he has started is just atrocious. The defenders have no faith in his distribution and he can’t keep the ball out of the net.

[frank black]

Just stay fit Emi!!!

[Exeter 77]

He seems glued to his line which was OK until the backpass law changed but a modern keeper needs to have a higher starting position and be able to pass.

[PaulWinch again]

He’s had a poor night obviously, but is the title thread change necessary?

[Clampy]

Well, Footy wanted Olsen in goal in case Martinez had his mind on the World Cup.

[PhilVill]

Laughably bad, shame no one but Man Utd
are laughing though.

[Ian.]

He made two fantastic saves and I thought he’d found his inner confidence, five minutes later…

[Billy Walker]

I don't like being too negative about our players but let me just say the worst keeper I have ever seen down at the Villa - BY ABSOLUTE MILES - is Mark Bunn (!) *Shudder*

He seems glued to his line which was OK until the backpass law changed but a modern keeper needs to have a higher starting position and be able to pass.

Exactly this, almost all of the problems came from them putting the ball into space behind our defence safe in th eknowledge he wasn't coming out to cut it off.

[KevinGage]

Must be a real dearth of talent in Sweden if this fella is numero uno for them.

He'll retire and tell his kids he played for Everton, Roma and Villa.  So who's laughing at who.

[RichardBatchelor]

Worse than Mark Bunn

Not quite that bad. I remember a goal at Stoke in the relegation season when Lescott didn’t bother jumping for a ball, after which Arnautovic headed tamely home. Instead of diving to try and stop the ball, Bunn jumped backwards and found himself tangled in the net. Comical. He didn’t play well once.

Olsen is dreadful though, too.

He was also awful against Manchester City last season.

[OzVilla]

He's one of those keepers that spreads panic among the team. Once he dropped that easy looping cross half way through the 2nd half the defence never recovered their composure.  One decent save amongst plenty of gaffs.
