2020/21 Robin Olsen

[maccavennie]

He wasn't on the training vid this week so must be injured.

He must have had an amputation, because Pickford has not been good at all for years, constantly beaten from distance and never seems to command his box. Will be cheered like a goal our next clean sheet...

Confirmed as an injury why he has missed the last two games. What a shock that it was a run of the mill injury and not some massive conspiracy keeping him out.

The reliable Echo says he is injured but OK now. Must be frustrating being understudy to England's number 1 at the peak of his form.

He had his once chance and blew it by being calm, consistent and totally lacking in any erratic behaviour.

I hope his injury is minor and he's available soon. Because on Saturday I just thought it was Everton-Level odd he wasn't even on the bench.

I would much prefer him to be starting for us. He deserves a chance, looked competent against Newcastle and really that should have been enough to keep him in the side.

 

[everton1953]

It is good to have a reliable number 2. The Echo is creaming itself about the RS apparently having found another goalkeeping gem. I can't be bothered looking his name up. Herr Klipp is really pissing me off with his antics.

 

[Tipp blue]

Lucky he was in that position.

Pickford would’ve made a Hollywood save out of that Vardy header. He may have kept it out, but I much prefer the non-heart attack approach that Olsen takes.

 

[sageyefc]

Calm

 

[DOMNOLAN]

People forgetting him dithering and nearly letting Vardy in. Same people. Nothing wrong with Olsen that half, just trying to keep peoples standards level

Much better. Should always play.

You mean when he took charge of the situation and mopped up after the centre back was going to leave it for Vardy to pounce on?

I didn't think much of that tbh.

The ball looked to be travelling with enough momentum for him to claim with hands inside the box... then the wind or spin held it up more than anticipated and he had to change decision to kick it.

The way I saw it anyway. Not an error IMO

Done ok. Solid with not too much to do
