Robin Olsen (The World's Number Two)

[RamboandBruno]

Maybe he was asked the question by a journalist and didn’t want to hang Olsen out to dry in public.

[Ian.]

Oh dear, slightly concerning. Here’s hoping Emi is able to play every single game.

I said every manager as his achilles heel

[pauliewalnuts]

Jesus.

I don’t know what more to say.

I'm struggling to recall a goalie for us that's made me more nervous than this bloke when he's playing. The crowd are edgy, the back four look nervous and the opposition are galvanised. An injury to Martinez and we are stuffed.

[Ian.]

I think we’ve had worse keepers than him, it’s just the way we play and how he’s just not suited to the high back line and  playing it out from the back. I worry that no matter how much coaching if he isn’t a natural on the ball with his feet we’re going to get caught out with him in goal. The fact that he remains pitched up in his six yard box at all times, that ball over the top means we’re in big trouble.

Worst thing is he’ll be playing plenty of games in the cup competitions

Let's hope it is plenty, and not just two.

we won't be winning a cup then.

[Percy McCarthy]

Not sure if what Emery says publicly means that much to be honest. It’s what he’s telling Monchi in private that counts. Hopefully something like ‘don’t leave me with that clown you bought for Roma as back up to Emi’.

[AV84]

I really don't think it'll be a case of Olsen just being the Cup keeper. Goalkeepers can play more games than outfield players and I think Martinez will still play a fair few Cup games. It'll depend on opposition in domestic cups, and what the situation in the group stages is at any given time, coupled with league opposition immediately after.

[olaftab]

Correct decision, and Unai knows best.

[dorsetvillian]

Just can't see Uni sticking with Olsen. To be it was one of the most important changes needed over the summer. If Olsen plays it will cost us a cup game or two next season.

[Lescottstweets]

Unai knows he’s gonna walk the league and all the Cups this season, we need to give the others a fighting chance by keeping Olsen.

[Toronto Villa]

Don’t agree with this at all. Better hope he doesn’t cost us more goals and games than he already has.
