He’s awful, and particularly bad at playing the way we want to play.

Is there another club out there with such a quality gap between number one keeper and back up?


Outsiders would probably say that we have two international first choice keepers for teams in top 25 in FIFA rankings….such a weird game football as in reality he terrifies us all :-)

Can't imagine how bad the Sweden no. 2 is.

Sheffield United fans didn't like him at all. Everton fans didn't like him at all.
And now we don't like him at all.

However, to sign him we must have done some homework? I guess his underlying stats must be better than what it appears?

Blues. If we sign one more player it needs to be a decent reserve keeper as this clown will cost us a lot of points should Martinez get injured.

No doubt Unai sees what we are seeing.

We simply can't go into the new season with Olsen as number two, under any circumstances.
He's just gotta go.

We cannot go into the season with Olsen as our number 2. The defence have no confidence in him and neither do the fans. I hope Emery feels the same.

Shite, that's not good for us, if Monchi has some 'investment' in the player.

I suspect the African car reverser would be an upgrade.
