Hopefully Pickford is out for an extended period.
Give Ancelotti a reason to keep playing him.

Just seen the highlights. Some on here really have double standards...
The goal. He's literally stood on his post for a very saveable shot. It's exactly the same poor positioning that Pickford rightfully got called out for against Newcastle, although this is potentially worse than that. I see very little, if any chastising of him like was done for Pickford.
And the flurry of saves he made came directly after him giving the ball away with a shocking pass on the edge of the box, so I can only go as far as to say he that made up for his mistake.
I think people have blinders on because of the Pickford hate (which is fair, I hate him too), but let's not make out like this was some special performance, it was a standard Pickford performance. New keeper is still a priority.

He passed to Doucoure. Its not his fault the recipient cannot pass a football to save his life

I dont think his kicking is crap. He always gets it clear and gets height on it. Pickford either shanks it out for a throw or straight to an opposition player
Olsen can see everything in front of him and he gave Doucoure an under hit pass that put us under instant pressure. Needs to know when to play and when not to. As I say though he made up for it.

Birds of a feather flock together
Difference is he is not as erratic and seems calm. And he commands his area as he is a tall keeper.

Same difference if the same mistakes are there. It's a poor performance if we go by the same standards. Olsen is not the answer. The fun of it not being Pickford in goal will wear off eventually and everyone will be begging for another new keeper. New keeper is still a priority.

I think we can do much better but I'd rather have Olsen as a backup to a better goalkeeper than having Pickford in goal and Olsen backup.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
The shot goes through the defenders legs. Most of the time they're usually goals when on target. It just caught him out.
While I do think your points are fair...he did feel to a lot of people that he was more calm and commanding. There were no flapping at corners, last minute diving out at players, or general panic that Pickford provides.
Arguably Olsen is maybe not the long term answer. But he's out done Pickford in the squad so...

he’s boring, which is the number one quality in a goalkeeper - another solid performance
