Robin Olsen (The World's Number Two)

[VillaTim]

Olsen is a total liability. I can't believe he's still here

Not really anything to do with Olsen, but keeper related. Ramsdale had a great season with Arsenal, but now apparently they're going to try to sign Raya from Brentford. No messing around, no sentimentality.

Yeah, but Ramsdale is no Martinez.

Olsen gives me the jitters too, but he's our back up and won't be needed a huge amount you'd hope.

I think I'd take three others from that list; Dubravka, Ortega, and at a stretch, Forster. But the reality is that a keeper is the one place that isn't generally up for grabs in a team.

Forster is absolutely useless. Not Olsen bad but at PL level he has always been out of his depth. Reminds me of Kalinic actually, big lump but no agility and limited bravery too.
Dubravka would be fine as backup but I'd prefer if we got someone with a bit of potential comfortable with ball at their feet. To do that we have to guarantee them all cup games.

The season hasn't even started and I've had a few weird dreams of seeing him kick it to opposition players in front of the Holte End .

We need a competent 2nd choice if we're serious about Europe and domestics

Was the ground full too?

He's got tattoos too. The only good goalie with tattoos is Ederson. Maybe, we should just say that to Olsen, and see if he gets upset and offers to leave.

Emi...why can't you be more like John Burridge

Im not surprised if Olsens confidence is shot - if he reads this site then he could be suicidal!

Next time he plays maybe we rally round and actually support the guy - crazy idea i know but it might have a positive effect

he's a professional footballer. If he cannot do the basics he should expect criticism. Fans shouldn't need to help him control and pass a football.

If no new keeper comes in, then it is what it is, and we definitely should support him during games.

I've never heard him disrespected at games or boo'd despite his monumental fuck ups. I might have missed any booing v Stevenage as when he was beaten on his near post i calmly got up and walked out

[Gareth]

It’s not the case of booing / supporting it’s more that everyone gets nervous whenever the ball goes towards his feet and that is impossible to suppress.

Speaking of back up keepers, Arsenal are about to lash out £30m+ on Raya from Brentford.

I'd take Ramsdale if he goes up for sale , be a great backup keeper
