duke313 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Olsen clearly isn't good enough, so a new backup keeper in summer should be a priority. Given Emery's tendency to sign players he's worked with before, I can see us going for David Soria whose contract is up in the summer. He was his backup at Sevilla, and played all the Europa League games when they beat Liverpool in the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today is the big party celebration in Argentina - Dec 20th. Would think Emi will then take 21st and 22nd to hang out and see family there, do TV stuff, etc. Then 23rd back to UK, train 24th and Christmas Day, play Boxing Day. I'd be shocked if Emi is back for Spurs, nevermind Liverpool. He will get some time off I'm sure. Edited December 20, 2022 by GlobalVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea , hopefully very well as he is likely to be playing against Liverpool and it will boost his confidence if he has had a good game. Unfortunately too many people have decided already that he is shit and if we do lose against Liverpool regardless of the circumstances it will be his fault.

Zatman Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Going to be bizarre vs Liverpool when one set of fans hate him for not being an elite Manuel Neuer level No.2 and the other fans hate him for costing them last season's league title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted December 22, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 22, 2022 he's playing minimum next 2 games. gotta get behind him and show a bit of encouragement on boxing day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) He was really poor in his last appearance, that's the issue. If all the Man. United goals had just flown into the top corner then I wouldn't have a big problem but he got the jitters and that caused a very experienced backline to make basic errors. Do it v Liverpool and yes we will be conceding 2 and probably 3. Think we just need to stop having stop gaps as number 2s and scout a young keeper with big potential to be number one as given the noise around Emi now we'll need to make that signing sooner or later.

Why would a young keeper ruin any potential by coming here to sit on our bench. People need to realise 2nd choice keepers are not top class keepers Bayern Munich have Sven Ulreich as No.2 and Real Madrid have Lunin and Olsen is probably better than both of them We were linked to Randolph in January and people threw a tantrum about that as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 They can still get games in cups like Olsen has done. It will be easier if we're in europa in near future as then you have six group games to play with. Good example is Matt Turner. Played in europa and league cup for Arsenal and I was impressed with his level for US in world cup, Arsenal signed him for a few million in the summer.
