Robin Olsen (The World's Number Two)

[Risso]

He wasn't especially at fault yesterday, but he still let in three goals. It's like it's become a habit with him now, he looks beaten before the game kicks off. One of the worst signings we've ever made.

[Axl Rose]

Agreed. A terrible player, terrible body language, a seemingly terrible communicator with some, more often than not, pretty crap defenders in front of him.

A recipe for disaster. Get rid.

[darren woolley]

We definitely need a new number two goalkeeper.

[PeterWithe]

He doesn’t look like he thinks he’s a good keeper. And I wouldn’t disagree with him.

[LukeJames]

He's going to end up leaving us very soon and some other team is going to take a punt on him. A few fans from that team will then visit this forum to see what was thought of their new signing. Poor bastards!

Yeah, that’s the thing.

He did actually make some decent saves against Liverpool but he just looks like a bag of nerves all the time and that clearly impacts the defenders in front of him.

He also looks terrified to come off his line - in no way whatsoever does he command the penalty area.

'Presense' is spomething of an ethereal quality but it's so important for goalkeepers, some have it and some just don't. Martinez, from his first appearance in a Villa shirt has it in spades, even if he makes an error it doesn't lead me to question his ability or worry for the future, where this guy could make a string of saves but I'd still be worried every time the ball came near our goal.

Was the same with Nyland, whereas Jed Steer, without playing out of his skin, bought that presence and composure that had been missing before.

Martinez looks like he’s still in Argentina, personally would have thought he’d be back by now. I think it’s unlikely he’ll play against Spurs on Sunday now.

Why, is he coming back by boat? It's Wednesday.

I thought he was partly to blame for the 3rd goal, coming off his line (for once) far too randomly, if he stays on his line its a lot harder for Liverpool to score.
I was in a different seat than normal as the wife on her annual visit to VP had my seat with the kids. I closer to the pitch than normal, and what i noticed was that he was a seeming nervous wreck every time they got a corner, really psyching himself up, not good.

directly behind the goal for the third, when he come off his line I expected him to dive on the ball, think one time Konsa give him a ticking off for something

Looks like he’s gone via the pacific.

No matter how poor Olsen is it seems Emery is looking to dispatch Martinez, thus Olsen plays tomorrow.  I just hope Emery comes to his senses before 2pm on New Year's day

What makes you say that?
