He could have still headed it to him. He really couldn’t. It would have either gone past Olsen towards the goal or got to Olsen when he was out of the box. Olsen **** up. And he knows it because he apologised straight away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think Olsen rushes too quick but Diego makes the call and isn't even looking at who is behind them. That's a big defensive error. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit of a rash charge out but Carlos still had plenty of time to do better than a blind back header that basically put Chelsea through on goal.

The_Steve Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Does he rush out? Yes. Does Diego still has time to head that - but he makes a bad defensive judgement. You cannot make a move like that in the middle of your final third. For me, it's more on Diego than the keeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think Olsen made it very difficult for him. If Olsen stays back then it’s a very easy header back. Olsen rushing out late meant Carlos had to make a decision he shouldn’t have had to make. And it was a poor one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot make a move like that in the middle of your final third. For me, it's more on Diego than the keeper. But look where Olsen is. Hes outside the box by the time Diego would be heading it. That would make it SUCH a risky header. You dont head the ball back to your keeper outside of the area. It’s a very weird situation that Olsen has created. Olsen either had to stay in his box so he can receive a very easy header back, OR he has to come out early and clear the ball himself. He did neither. Hes in absolute no man’s land. Carlos isn’t blameless. It’s still a poor clearance. But Olsen has 100% made that situation far more difficult than it needed to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) If he doesn't want to head it why not pass it to Olsen? Diego's touch was terrible. You don't do that in football at any level - you can't face away from the opposition and make a blind clearance.

For me, it's more on Diego than the keeper. i dunno, the keeper is out of the box, any header to the keeper would prob reach him before he could get back in the box, and Olsen isnt exactly agile. I can see why Carlos didnt head it back to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJay Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 We're a worse team with him in it, but not his fault, Emi is the best goalkeeper in the world and to be honest he did not too much wrong today, Diego Carlos was totally at fault and Olsen's positioning wasn't too bad as he would have been expected to sweep in that high line so was where he'd be expected to be. Naturally though, we look more shaky without Emi in the team as he brings so much confidence at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't do that in football at any level - you can't face away from the opposition and make a blind clearance. Nobody is excusing Carlos. He **** up. If he can’t head it he should be doing something far better than what he did. Like leathering it clear. Not trying a deft hook to Digne.

We might disagree on other parts of it, but I appreciate the discussion. This is what football is about - debate and discussion about the good and bad. Will watch it back again tomorrow with some fresh eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why Carlos didnt head it back to him. Me too.... .... but I can't explain what he was thinking with that "clearance". Bring the ball under control, turn out towards the side line and, if needed, play it long down the line. This isn't hard stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
