He could hardly have predicted he’d be that shit Nyland and Kalinic were interntional keepers. This waste of space has let in 11 goals in two and a bit games for Villa, and 8 in his last three games for Sweden. Videos of those games not available, or maybe ask somebody who was there how Olsen played? A horrendous decision tonight to not play Martinez, hopefully he doesn't make many more similarly poor choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) I don’t mean to keep going on, but I am honestly flabbergasted at just how bad he was. There were some very basic, amateur level errors that he made tonight. It honestly looked like an outfield player playing in goal at times. Surely we could never trust him again?

He was just as bad at Newcatle as well. I think he's worse than Kalinic, who was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Fair enough to play your sub keeper in the cup if they're any good a la Guzan or Kelleher for Liverpool, but this guy... The position of keeper for a cup game is not awarded on a charitable basis. If they're no good, don't play them. He didn't win a competition. Needs replacing.

Soon I guess the only argument against this is it’s first-team football and if Emi gets injured I’d rather have a keeper who has played recently. But I’d also rather it wasn’t Olsen!

QldVilla Posted November 11, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 11, 2022 He was poor today, really struggled to read the game and is poor with the ball at his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 He looks like a decent athlete and probably has some flashy shot stopping skills in training. But his command of the area was alarmingly bad and that pass...urgh. He needs more game time to work out those issues and fine tune his instincts. But the problem is we can't afford to play him and probably won't, ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan_of_oz Posted November 11, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 11, 2022 Ridiculous signing, I would rather honestly give game time one if our young keepers than watch this guy anymore. Not his fault, but why are we signing a keeper that was sitting on the bench at his championship team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Enckleman, Sorensen (not as bad as the others but still had a lot of calamities), Nyland, Olsen. Imagine the blooper reel you could make from that bunch. Ban scandinavian GKs from ever playing for this club moving forward. Thankyou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) He cant even polish steers boots let alone martinezs ones. I actually think he is worse than kiraly was Nyklemann needs to be shipped off in January asap Edited November 11, 2022 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Game would have so different with Martinez in goal, shame really but agreed Olsen isn’t a decent backup keeper at all. I panic every time he has the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I understand the respect for principles, but as you say, he's awful and Emery must have known that before the game, so the decision to play him anyway seems odd, it's a bad decision. The guy lacks any confidence and having some is a basic requirement for any keeper. How many people looked at our team sheet and thought that looks weak for all sorts of reasons, but particularly because Olsen is playing? I certainly did.

I will be extremely disappointed in the club if he doesn’t play on Sunday. Our last manager who you unconditionally supported rested him vs City so he could play the Finallissima and I cant remember such a reaction Bizarre but unsurprising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
