I’m worried about the defence.  Should I be?
It's a pre-season game. Torres has been with us for ten minutes. Carlos has been injured for ten years.

For all the critique of Olsen - and there’s plenty - he is clearly, desperately uncomfortable playing out from the back which is a bit of a problem.

Simply cannot see any way he's with us by the start of the season.

Olsen makes Bosnich look like Messi when the ball is at his feet.

I can’t believe he’s still here, that’s such a fundamental problem with football.

As soon as we're able to get another suitable keeper through the door he's instantly gone, surely.

I’d be blown away if he is. A complete liability and the defenders are massively affected by it. They get no confidence from him being back there.

Was about to say this, you can see how much he's come on, glides with the ball. Elite lever player now - joy to watch
