Yep, very good, and very unlucky after such a good penalty save.

He was the only one who didn’t deserve to lose. He kept us alive and was unlucky not to earn us an undeserved point.

Yep, funny old game. Olsen plays so you think we might be in trouble. We lose but it's because pretty much everyone was shite except him and Pau.

Some good saves and much more composed.

Kept the scoreline down. Fair play to him for that .

Really the least of our worries currently if he has to fill in the odd game for Emi.

There are bigger issues much further forward.

We did Olsen absolutely no favours against Olympiakos and he still kept the score down in that.
He was our best player by a mile today. Made some big saves. He's doing okay.
People do forget that when we hit the suicide-defending button, which we've done plenty of times this season, even Big Emi can't keep them out. I grant you he'd have kept out at least 2 of the Olympiakos goals though, but in terms of a one-man brick wall who consistently saves your bacon, Emi is one of maybe 10 in the world capable of doing it every game.

Did himself proud today, well played Robin. Not so much any of the 10 outfield players, who, to a man, were a laod of stinky arsebiscuits.

Fair play, he looks like he cares. Must be gutting when you save a pen and they get the rebound.

Before the penalty on Thursday the commentators said that he'd faced 25 penalties in his career and saved none, so today was the first time he actually stopped one. Must have been awful to see it end up in the net anyway.

Gutted for him to not get that clean sheet, that point would've been all down to him.
