ozvillafan Posted April 25, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 25, 2023 I don't think he's ever kept a clean sheet and clearly not comfortable with the ball at his feet, doesn't command his area and doesn't leave his box. That completely stiffles the way Emery wants us to play. We need an upgrade.

Olsen's not good at anything and basically screws the entire balance of the side. Reading those bullet points: First three applied to Brett Holman ffs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osmark86 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Robin Olsen clearly isn't the worst keeper we've ever had. That's like the definition of recency bias right there. But yes please, **** him off in May and pray we never have to play him again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that like it was yesterday. The ball left his hand well before his arm had completed the throwing curve. Was a shocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He constantly moves club as soon as he is out of favour though. Can't see him wanting to be a number 2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS GUY: Olsen...regardless of his more traditional keeping abilities (or lack thereof), the effect of draining confidence out of the defence is massive, but even more importantly his ball playing skills are non-existent yet this is fundamental to the way we play now. Without the goalkeeper's distribution it's almost back to SlippyGBall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
