Robin Olsen (The World's Number Two)

[Footy-Vill]

Played played at Everton and is familiar with the ground, plus if there was any fallout from last week.
It's more about wondering for debate and also what role he has within the club till the summer.
I think it's wise to stick with Martinez today, provided everything is clear between manager and player.
I'll maintain my hunch we haven't seen the last of Olsen this season for one reason or another.

Levels are vastly different in abilities, but there's a degree of competition, and he's competent if a little uninspiring.
It would be underwhelming news if so, but we can't be totally surprised if he gets minutes again.

Played at Everton? What relevance does that have today, though?

[Footy-Vill]

I'm not sure what more I can say regards this.
It's just some thoughts on the goal keeper situation thats all.
We all have our theories, views, thoughts, ideas and musings on the goalkeeping situation at the moment it just widens the debate from simply Martinez to include Olsen in discussion.

[Risso]

He's not even remotely competent.

This is gold.

[Tayls_7]

I think FV wants to remind of his breaking news story that Martinez is in the naughty corner.

[pauliewalnuts]

He's not even remotely competent.

He is familiar with the ground, though, so will be able to locate the nearest gate if for any reason he needs to make an unforeseen quick exit.

Indeed. He’s a bloody nightmare, and I would never want to see him in a Villa shirt again.

Get him selling the pies and beer if he's familiar with the ground

He’d either hand them to the wrong customer or drop them on the floor.

Olsen couldn't catch the team bus, let alone a football.

[LukeJames]

The absolute scenes on here when Olsen starts and Emery confirms after the match that it was because of his familiarity with the surroundings.

"... plus if there was any fallout from last week."

Jaysus, have the nukes started while was hibernating?

"We tried booking McDonald's for the party, but they said they were full, so I decided to give Robin a go in goal instead. It was a lovely day, loads of laughter and there was even a clown."

[KevinGage]

Barring injuries to Martinez, Steer and the Yoot all at the same time he should be nowhere near contention.

We aren't freescoring enough to hit the 3s and 4s it invariably needs with him chucking them in at the other end.
