Always said Olsen is a two goal handicap.

Coincidence?

Have to say it, Emi saves that second, and he saves the fourth, too.

I agree.  Olsen is beyond rubbish.

The worlds number 1 would make saves? Shame he was banned AND injured for this match then.

Neither team has bothered with a defence and the ref has been shite. But top marks to Olsen, you know there’ll be goals when he’s playing.

I still don't think this is a 2-4 performance.

The best keeper in the world is more likely to save stuff other keepers won't, he's still conceded loads though.

No.
This needs to be his last appearance . There's a reason why Everton and Sheff Utd bombed him out .

Olsen's been better than Luiz today.

There have been a few particularly rotten individual performances, but as a team, we've been really disappointing.

It's not just the saves. With Martinez our whole shape is better, we're so much more secure playing the ball out. There's no more important keeper to his side probably in the top 5 European leagues.
