Just wondering why people are so sad (on Twitter) that Cutler has gone? Is he that good? What’s he done? Just curious.

He's very well regarded and respected by other GK coaches.

I've no doubt he's well respected and comes across as being a genuine guy.  However, I'm all for Emery doing what he needs to do to push us up the table.

Given the way Martinez has regressed over the last year, it doesn’t fill you with confidence that Cutler has been doing his job properly

And surely the first job of your stand in goalie is to be ready if called upon? Olsen has been absolute gash, like a rabbit in the headlights.

Exactly.  Standards have been allowed to drop on the latter stages of Smiths reign and throughout Gerrards reign (of terror).  If a new broom means removing a couple of bookends then so be it

I reckon McPhee is just a hard fucker and everyone is too scared to sack him. He’ll be around till the end of days, still letting Dougie take free kicks.

It appears that Cutler only coaches Martinez.

Olsen doesn't look like any sort of goalkeeper. He's toss from what I've seen so far.

I think that's because he's shit.

Sweden must be fucked if we have their starting GK and starting LB. Because our stand in LB isn’t exactly making Digne sweat. And I doubt if fit he’s beating out Ash.

The Swedes have a saying that everything doesn’t need to be done today, there is tomorrow.

Er, no. The saying is 'don't postpone until tomorrow what can be done today' (Skjut inte upp till morgondagen det du kan göra idag).

And, yes, having Robin as the national goalkeeper tells you much about the state of the national team.

If he is hard , he must be the least hard person I’ve seen since Charles Hawtrey 😂

Sorry mate but from working there for 4 years that was often said. Leaving work early to go and sail the dinghy  was much more important.

I think by virtue of being Swedish I can claim the authority on this one.

You might have it mixed up with "det finns alltid imorgon" (there's always tomorrow) which is something you might say when you have failed and 'you go again'.

Grabs popcorn and takes a seat as an English bloke who has worked in Sweden battles the language against an actual Swede who speaks the language.

May be so. I have no wish to argue against the historic culture and defer to you as you are supreme there, however I am absolutely certain about the workplace culture at Volvo, Torslanda PV offices in the 21st century.
