There’s 3 games off the top of your head when he’s had an absolute stinker. There are more, many of which went unpunished (fortunately for us and him).
That’s absolutely not “genuinely alright” in my book.
In the context of keepers in the league this season id say it is, could probably name 2 regular keepers in the league who haven’t had 2/3 bad games this season. Allison, Lloris, De Gea, Pope, Patricio have all had mistakes. Which incidents went unpunished apart from the derby? They’re off my head because it’s the only howlers he’s had, and agree it’s still too many howlers for us but just saying I thought he was better up until the Leicester game. He lets his emotions go too wild, made the first error v Leicester (clearing it for the corner), which led to the second (flapping at the cross), which led to the goal. Like me when I was 17 and stalled the car in driving lessons, head would fall off for about 5 minutes after and we can’t afford that to happen, just don’t think it’s happened as much this season.
Not saying he’s the answer and he’s got his obvious flaws, Olsen should start but up until the Leicester game I felt he had reacted well after the derby game considered everything that got thrown at him which was way over the top.
By alright I mean ‘okay’, he’s got too many flaws to ever be better than okay but I look around the league and the standard of keeping seems to be poorer as a whole so just meant it in relation to a lot of other teams.
