Robin Olsen (The World's Number Two)

[KevinGage]

Tottingham away shortly after Emery took over.

Can't recall too many others.

[Somniloquism]

Even when he's playing OK he always seems to manage to concede 2, 3 or 4 goals.

This 100%. Every time he plays for us we let in at least 2. Has he even ever kept a clean sheet for us?!

Yes, Tottenham last year at their place when we won 2-0. Admittedly we had our best defence in front of him as well.

[villa for life]

Useful for the management to see him. They thought he would be ok for the season and he probably would have been. Nobody could have dreamt we’d be going for top 4 and in the semi finals and had so much riding on these few games.

Will have given the management clarity and helped them prepare for next season.

[Demitri_C]

You can say many of thw goals were not his fault but im sorry he elaks goals even ever he is in the team.

He is so shit with thw balm at his feet too. Should have done better with 2nd goal.

Hope he is sold off in summer

I actually think he is fine with the ball at his feet.

It's all the other stuff that is the problem.

I dunno, I just feel like shot on target = goal against him, almost always (Palmer save and that great one today being the outliers).

The thing is you see how emi takes his time with
The ball he is so calm with it. Olsen cant wait to get rid of the ball ans i think he puts the defence on edge.

Literally he just has so many flaws in his game. I dont rate himat all and hw needs to be moved on in the summer

Fair enough. But he’s been dog shit this season. Desperately need Gauci to claim his place as backup

[Risso]

His effort on the deflected goal was abysmal. Even with the deflection it was coming right at him, and he just didn't get his hands right.

i wouldn't swap our number 1 for anyone in the league.  I doubt there is a number 2 I wouldn't take in place of Olsen

Yeah Tottenham was when Emi had some time off post world cup

[Concrete Tom]

Didn’t do a whole lot wrong really. Other than the deflected fourth for which I think he may have done better. And he pulled off a couple of fine saves.

BUT the team clearly seem less relaxed with him in the side. The calmness of passing through the press dissipates and we play differently with him in the side.

Martinez brings a lot to our game and just oozes presence.

He should have saved the second.

[PaulWinch again]

Definitely should have saved the second, but it’s the fear he spreads in the team that’s the big problem.

Although not having Torres removed alot of the calmness of passing as well.

[Risso]

He should have saved the second.

And the 4th.

[pauliewalnuts]

He should have saved the second.

And the 4th.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.

[Steve67]

Dived before the penalty was taken too, that drives me mad about keepers.  Punched the 4th into the net.  He's poor and needs to leave for his own benefit. 

[LeonW]

I can’t find the argument for persevering with Olsen. He’ll likely be on decent wages yet if you look beyond some caps for Sweden (in competition for who for the number one spot is the question) his club career has actually been pretty poor at the highest level. The Roma move is the anomaly and they very quickly wanted him out with a series of uninspiring loans before we bought him. It would make much more sense to get him off the books and have a kid working with Martinez and playing some games. Even Nyland some great moments for us. Olsen’s only consistency is that he’ll ship goals and breed worry in his defence.
