The back seat of his car could do with a clean.

Forest fans seem to think they're giving a debut to Odysseas Vlachodimos in goal.

Been really good for Benfica for years now, but it's not rare for keepers coming in for their first Premier League game to have a bit of a nightmare. Could be a bit of an Achilles' heel.

Let's use a high press then to see how good he is at playing out from the back.

Urgh. I was hoping for Greek mythology puns, not 90's reggae.

I'm out.

When you have the best goalkeeper in the world, whoever the replacement is, they are going to reduce the quality of the team. Fact.

Any other top goalie worth his salt, is not going to be happy sitting on the bench. Fact.

Our manager is not an idiot. Fact.

We need to stop constantly moaning about Olsen and support him the best we can instead of denting his confidence even further.
I doubt he’s reading this thread.

Why not? I wouldn't be surprised if most players followed their own teams message boards.

Robin Olsen, Robin Olsen

Feared by the bad, loved by the good
