Robin Olsen (The World's Number Two)

[villa for life]

Wonder if he plays in Europe even if emi is 80% fit?

[kippaxvilla2]

As Roy Keane would say ‘that’s his job.’

[PaulWinch again]

Well yeah, but if you take that line then basically no player can ever be praised for their performance.

[Flamingo Lane]

He was absolutely outstanding today, you could see how much it meant to him when that rebound was put in.

[VillaTim]

Play him Thursday in Athens , keep Martinez in the UK on ice ready for the scallywags on Monday .

[Somniloquism]

But only this morning you never wanted to see him again?

He needs to be moved on at the end of the season for sure . Martinez needs saving for the Liverpool / Palace games which are huge.

Well done Robin - best way to respond to the boo boys is to shove it back down their throats

Who has been booing him at the matches then?  That's a new one.

Criticism on internet messageboard  >  real life.

Also "shove it back down their throats" like he's had tons of unwarranted criticism.

[Chris Harte]

I'd hope his performance today has silienced a few. Sure, he's not the world's number one, and that won't be good enough for some.

He's shown himself to be a very competent goalkeeper.

[Louzie0]

Excellent performance, voted Motm, great goalkeeper.

Rest of the team, questionable.

[Clampy]

Absolute credit where it's due, he was very good yesterday.

Steady on.

He's getting valid credit for having a decent game, not getting the golden glove award...

Though I broadly agree I do notice this use of the word 'decent' sometimes obscures things unfairly. He had a fantastic game.
