HolteExile Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 16 minutes ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: Nyland is now a successful number 1 keeper at Sevilla. Nyland - for all the many woeful games and generally bizarre moments he had with us - could pull out the occasional match winning performance. Swansea away in the Championship and Leicester at home in the LC back in 2020 being the stand out ones. Can't think of many match winning performances from Olsen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted May 2 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2 Thought he might have done better for their second - seemed to take him an age to get down. Other than that, he's not to blame for the goals we conceded. In fact, he pulled off some good saves and was good with his feet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I just really want this guy at a new club next season. I'm tired of seeing him flapping around sapping the confidence of our entire back line. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasley14 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Was just ok, I do think Martinez would have saved at least one of the 2nd or 4th goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fourth goal as well looked awful and it certainly looked a shot that should have been saved. Get rid. His speed is…shocking to watch and antithetical to the way we play. Not much to be done for the rest of the season but been clear for a long time he’s terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post romavillan Posted May 2 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 2 He's not a great goalkeeper, we knew that in the summer and in Jan and did nothing. No point complaining now, to be fair he made a couple of decent saves but he should do better with their 2nd and their 4th. We concede a lot when he plays and I think that tells the whole story. He really wasn't good for Roma and aside from a few games he hasn't been great for us either. That said, tonight is not on him. First goal if Cash reacts a split second faster it's one of the many regulation offsides we play for every game. Digne should do a lot better for the second. Third was a penalty and the fourth a big deflection but he should get more protection from the players in front of him and if he can lift his hand slightly even after the deflection he saves it. So you know, not Robin Olsen's fault we let in 4 and not Robin Olsen's fault that we need a better back up keeper either. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvilla28 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) His always the one to blame when his playing and we loose never our midfield or defence who go missing or give away cheap goals. Edited May 2 by ozvilla28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I agree that he’s not good enough and you can see that the defence is shaky with him. Unai made his choice with him this season which was a mistake. But pathetic seeing some of the abuse he gets here. Some real tough keyboard warriors on here 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Just got in from the game, seeing that replay looked like he was trying to wrist that deflected shot, really not good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re trying to convince top class keepers to come here knowing they’ll only get a look in if Emi is injured or suspended. It’s why Brentford were able to sign that keeper in January despite us wanting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smg Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) So our defenders can only function with the world’s number one goalkeeper behind them ? Perhaps they need to step up a bit and take some responsibility for the defence of our goal. Edited May 2 by smg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juju Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 50 minutes ago, UpTheVilla26 said: I'd be happy to wager a bet that if we got 100 of us at a pitch and recreated that 4th goal, 99 of us would save it. If Olsen turned up, he's probably be the 1 who doesn't. He's probably have crashed his car in the car park and wouldnt be there in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolteExile Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I don't buy the notion of a decent (particularly youngish) keeper being put off by having to compete with Martinez. In the first instance, it's a great opportunity to learn from one of the world's best day in and day out. In the second: Things move quickly in football. A below average campaign for the entire squad next year and maybe Emi decides it's time to move on. He'll have been with us five years at that stage, so not totally unthinkable (though I hope it doesn't happen, obv). It would be a harder sell for a club who has just forked out circa £30/40 mill for a first choice keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 2 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2 I couldn’t really tell from where I was in the ground whether Olsen could have done better with any of the goals. But the stats are getting pretty damning now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
