Olsen as our 2nd is mind-boggingly baffling.
OK, how many PL teams have a better number 2?

 I suspect those challenging at the right end of the table and cups must have.

Olsen is atrocious

C’mon….the keeper rated Sweden’s best for summit like seven seasons running.

What more can you expect in a backup to the world’s best goalkeeper ?

Name them (and I bet you can't)  and  also provide some stats to back up your assertion?

I'd rather not have Olsen either but honestly some posters here are flapping more than he does.

Do you genuinely think that Emery is just going to come out and say 'Robin's a bit crap really but unfortunately we're not likely to be able to sign a backup so sadly we're stuck with the big lump'?  Of course not, he'll back him, because hes our keeper until he isnt, and digging him out in public will do nothing but harm for no gain.
