Tomaszk Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Well done. Hope he takes loads of confidence from that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Good mentality to be ready to come in. Unai must see something in him to keep him and play him in some potentially crucial matches. Looked way more comfortable in possession though not a lot of pressure by Legia. Still not wholly convincing commanding his area but I like that Unai keeps belief in fringe players instead of bomb squad them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Very good. The more he plays, the more he'll get used to our style of play. Looks a completely different player to even a couple of months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy54 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Yeah he did ok, no chance of stopping their goal, bloody shame min a way, would have been a confidence builder to keep a clean sheet. Although we gifted them the opportunity, their player made the most of it and scored a beauty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Olsen did well and was pretty decent with the ball at his feet. Not even Dibu could have stopped their goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted December 1, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2023 I thought he was at fault for the goal for giving Kamara a hospital pass, but having seen it on the highlights I take it back. Kamara shows for it and has enough space to do something better than that. The whole ground shit themselves any time Olsen had to make a pass, which shows how low confidence is in him, but he actually performed well to be fair to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit of a stretch He's pointing to Konsa, Kamara tries to pass it to cash instead. Kamara takes two glances towards Cash before he makes the pass as well so whether anyone is pointing there or not, it's not an excuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo71 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 A lot of confirmation bias on the socials last night but I thought he played well and was blameless for their goal. BK's reaction was telling, knew he'd dropped a nut instantly and didn't look to apportion blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead he tries to pass it round the corner to Cash which was never on. Blame is definitely on BK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't put a foot wrong last night though, so hopefully this is the path to redemption. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I think he did look a lot less shaky last night, even when he did get pressed hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunther Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Played well. Looked good with the ball, a couple of times when he was getting closed down he wasn't afraid to play it long. Didn't have many shots to stop but when he needed to claim the ball he looked assured. I'm not his biggest fan but this will do him the world of good, and I assume he'll get another go in Bosnia. Good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 he did good, and this isnt a knock, its a genuine observation, and it might be just the angles giving false info, but.... for their goal, did anyone else look at that from certain angles and think, if he dived at full stretch he might have been able to get a finger on it? maybe it was just too fast for him to respond, it was a great goal, but it looked closer to him in certain angles.

Yes general angle but top bins and he's thinking cover whole goal so not going to hold against him. I saw Legia player standing in spot Kamara no look passed to before he even received the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Whilst I get why it happens I don’t think the very vocal anxiety when he has the ball at his feet helps his or our cause. He did ok though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of times our defenders risked a turn or a dribble across the backline instead of just laying it back to him was obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
