...given we are playing a relegation threatened Championship side opponent in FA Cup Olsen may not even have that much to do

Ah, you must be new to watching Villa in the FA Cup.

Olsen is out domestic cup keeper by all accounts and don’t forget he played v West Ham.

He's not our domestic cup keeper. He's played one out of four domestic cup matches this season, and only played in that because Martinez had a knock.

Yep, always thought the criticism was OTT.

Indeed, just waiting for Villa Tim to consume his slice of humble pie.

Very much so. On the whole he commanded the box superbly.

It may be the underdog thing but I love it when a berated player has a really good performance. But we want all Villa players to do well

Did come to collect and failed to do so a couple of times, but those nervy moments aside, he was decent. While they had us pinned-in for most of the second half, he didn't have many saves to make. Looked like he had the one that hit the post covered.
