Mark Albrighton Posted April 27 VT Supporter Share Posted April 27 Most of the fault is on Carlos there. Olsen takes his share of the blame, but it’s Carlos who’s decided to try that pass rather than just booting it away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa Gaffa Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 He could have cleared the ball towards the sideline instead of poking it back into the middle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hoof it into the stands if he doesn't want to head it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post T-Dog Posted April 27 Popular Post Share Posted April 27 It was a poor clearance, but you gotta think in 99/100 occasions the keeper is in a position to receive the header back to them. Why is Olsen there? There's TWO defenders chasing that back, would Emi be standing outside his box? I doubt that. Yes he should have stuck in row Z but also he's probably had a panic going '**** hell Olsen, what you doing there, you sausage' and flapped. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 What the f*** was Carlos thinking with that clearance. I genuinely cannot wrap my head around that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted April 27 VT Supporter Share Posted April 27 1 hour ago, The_Steve said: For me, Diego tells Robin to stop but is not even looking at what's behind him or where Pau is. It was easier to head it back - but he stopped himself and positioned himself to make a very poor clearance. At that level, you cannot ignore what's behind you. I was at the game, and I'm pretty sure Carlos wasn't wearing ice skates... His movement looks really weird on this clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I think Carlos would want to nod it back to the keeper but recognises Olsen is coming out so doesn't want to put it over him as he runs out of the box. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Poor today but coming on with the back up goalkeeper and then moving to 5 in defence led to general confusion all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Awful clearance and poor for the disallowed goal too. It's a shame because he can be very good but he's just too inconsistent and seems to lose focus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I meant to take back what I'd said about him before the Arsenal game but didn't get round to it. Cost us in numerous games this season probably outweighs the stand out performances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_eristic Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I think he's trying to get it to Digne in space once he realizes he can't go to Olsen, just too awkward by that point and hits it too flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Just goes to show that a keeper that inspires confidence makes a huge difference to a back line. That situation simply doesn't happen with Emi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Olsen had held his ground, I think Carlos could've done that...But Olsen is outside of the box and running forwards when Diego has to make the decision. I mean, it an absolutely awful clearance that can't be excused, but he doesn't do that if Olsen is just waiting on his penalty spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olsen put doubt in his mind but that doesnt excuse what he did. It was a ridiculous decision by Carlos; completely compounded by his attempt to stop Palmer when he ran through. Really poor and it nearly cost us a point, credit to Olsen for making a big save there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it out of touch, whack it up the field but to put it where he did was really poor and almost cost us a point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasley14 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Personally I'd have headed it back as the keeper could have retreated back into the box and dived on the ball. Chelsea players probably would have stop chasing after the header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
