Vive_La_Villa Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I find it hard to believe we can’t find a better second keeper than Olsen based on what I saw last season. Hopefully it was just a confidence thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pintpotvilla Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Game time is everything for a footballer and when you are brought in just for the odd game it will always be very difficult, especially for a specialized position like a goalkeeper It's even harder when the fanbase jumps on every indiscretion. How about we get behind Olsen and actually help and support one of OUR players. Unai supports him So should we 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I get your point it’s a bizarre comment given this is a discussion forum. If that was the case this forum would only be quotes from Emery and no discussion either positive or negative because only Emery’s opinion matters. Our opinion doesn’t matter as you rightly say yet we all post, yes you and I and all the regulars on here despite none of it mattering. I only asked your opinion.

Heaton can catch a ball and isnt terrified of commanding his box.

NoelVilla Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 5 minutes ago, Demitri_C said: Why noel? Because Olsen was mostly shit for us under Gerrard like everybody else and there is an OK keeper there. It is also a very difficult position to buy when Martinez is number 1.
