Robin Olsen (The World's Number Two)

[Risso]

Footy, how many different people share your account? Only the person who had it this afternoon was raving about Olsen.

[Footy-Vill]

I don’t want to read anyone defending this useless prick. Absolutely fucking shit

We need a new cup goal keeper for next season -on his two recebt showings in the league and fa cup he has hindered us.

It’s not about a cup keeper. It’s about having a reliable back who does the basic stuff well. Robin Olsen is simply dreadful. About as poor an option as any club has. He’s a complete liability. I hope you see that now having defended him and considered him better than Emi Martinez

Martinez isn't any much better at distribution to the midfield from possession on the floor as I've always said Emi is number one but both aren't suited to Emerys playing out from the back.

You’ve got to be kidding me. Martinez is Andrea Pirlo with his kicking compared to Olsen.

When in receiving a back pass and I'm not meaning it just for a goal kick. Olsen has terrible long and even short kicks. Martinez's playing a short pass into midfield and out wide isn't exactly world-class.
Martinez is obviously lot better, but in my opinion, not significantly better. at distribution.  Martinez is the best goalkeeper available overall, so absolutely he should play against Leeds and now Olsen has to be given competition either this window or in summer as the back up keeper role.
Ideally needs replacing for cup games.

Martinez is much better in the 'not getting beaten at your near post from 25 yards by a postman' stakes.

I’m done. Waving the white flag. I’ve got literally nothing else to add given this assessment

No I'm talking about distribution!

Absolute trash keeper. How he got beat on nis near post from that distance is beyond me. Made a cou0le of mistakes with his feet & dropped a simple cross. Again. Get rid as soon as possible.

[villadelph]

Get him out of the club. Make a statement, cut his ass loose and show that this shit won’t be tolerated anymore. He’s caused more embarrassment in the last 3 weeks than anyone else.

Comparing Emi to this dunce in any fashion should have your fan card revoked. Absolute nonsense and insulting. 

[Steve67]

I'd rather Jed Steer or Sinisalo start.  Really not up to the Premier League.

[eamonn]

Neil Cutler has been doing the rounds on podcasts, giving interviews since he left the club. I'd genuinely like to hear his honest opinion on this dope of a goalkeeper.

[CT Villan]

Well that inept performance today should have settled the debate about whether we need a new back-up keeper.

[Toronto Villa]

The Swedes usually have solid players. It’s not like this bloke is a part time fisherman and plays for the Faroes. Although having watched him he’d be shit at being a fisherman too.

Nah, he'd end up with plenty in the net as he does for us.

[pauliewalnuts]

He's just been voted Best Swedish Keeper for the 7th season in a row.

Who on earth is the second best?

I'm not so sure. He seems pretty good and finding things in his net that had no right being there.

Seeing some bizarre comments about the point of 'resting' a 'keeper. Bloody hell! He didn't rest the 'keeper! He did what 99% of clubs do in cup competitions. Anybody who follows football knows it is difficult to get in a goalkeeper to sign up as the second choice keeper unless you promise them game time in cups. This has been really common since the mid 2000s- almost 20 years.

I really don't see why it comes as such a shock to football fans when the second choice keeper plays in cup games against lower league opposition. It's a very well established fact of life in the modern game.

Do we need an upgrade on this guy? Absolutely! But don't be surprised when it's the backup 'keeper starting cup games next season.
