Robin Olsen (The World's Number Two)

[PaulTheVillan]

This guy makes Mark Bunn look like prime Buffon

Perhaps Emery wanted to have a look and see if he is capable of playing the way he wants him to. There’s only so much you can see in training.

If that was the case then this was the fixture to do it in.

I think that’s exactly it, it’s something most managers do.

He will have learned a few things about his squad last night unfortunately part of that lesson cost us any chance of winning the game. At least now he’ll be unlikely to pick him in the FA Cup.

I don't agree with that at all, he should have been busting a gut to win the game.

With how monumentally shit he was there was a moment that kind of passed under the radar, one of there players cut in from the left and had a shot that deflected and looped up, he attempted to stop it from going out for a corner with a move that looked like what your child does with there arms when you're attempting to teach them to catch a ball for the first time. Even though it was us I couldnt help but laugh.

Yes that was shocking. I couldn't believe he let it go. I shouted  out something like Olsen you are the ********** goal keeper you CAN catch it.

Yep, it was difficult to tell exactly what happened from my seat but that's how it looked to me, thankfully it was off target.

[eamonn]

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

[tony scott]

There’s a reason he’s a number 2, but I don’t think it helped having to play out from the back he doesn’t do it well.

[Footy-Vill]

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.

Might be the worst back up keeper we’ve had in a very long time. 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.

Oh, he's a 'no.2' alright

Is is middle name 'Aliving'?

[LukeJames]

On the plus side, we'll be mentioning this performance for decades, definately had his Kiraly moment.

[brontebilly]

He belongs in that group with Nyland, Kalinic, Bunn(y), Moreira (had to Google him!)....what did we do to deserve that crew in the space of about 18 months
