2020/21 Robin Olsen

[Charlie Burnett]

That third goal was not a mistake, if he had not lost his footing that would have been saved.

The fact he lost his footing is the mistake, he to flat footed

First goal was also Olson's mistake. Can't bare goalkeeper holding the goal line, while ball is coming on 1.5 meater from him

Olsen had a poor game yesterday but would Pickford have done any better? The first goal, Pickford would have stayed on his line. The second, well Pickford constantly gets beat from outside the area and isn't very agile. The third, Olsen slipped but would Pickford have saved the shot? This was Olsen's first poor game, but we've had far too many with Pickford and I'd stick with Olsen.

I’m not sure how much to blame Olsen was for the goals last night. One worldy and his foot went for the other. What I did notice was how quick Gary Neville was in trying to create a narrative about how both keepers have no confidence. He Wouldn’t admit that it was a slip rather than bad footwork. Even after the game, when it was pointed out to him that his foot gave way, he couldn’t look at the camera when talking about it. Always an agenda with sky, it’s pathetic.

Thought a 2 metre tall keeper should have come to take the Rashford cross off Cavani´s head, it was on the edge of the six yard box and he could see the danger all the way. I blame him more for the first than the third.

no, the cross should have been dealt with by the CBs, if he’s marked he doesn’t get that header off.

Very poor defending

9 times out of 10 Keane heads that away easily. He just got caught under the flight of the ball.

A better plan would probably be to stop the cross coming in in the first place...

The best goalkeepers don't lose their footing though, that's part of the job. It's like slipping when you smash a penalty over the cross bar and putting it down to an unfortunate mistake - the best don't let that happen (or at least eliminate it from being anything over than very rare). Olsen has shown too much tendency to mistakes in a short amount of game time, so he has it all to prove.

 

[HTCHERO]

Still no issue with Olsen keeping the main spot. It keeps the worst keep in the league away from being useless each game!

 

[stamullenblue]

He looks a lot more commanding than Pickford. Needs a run in the team.

 

[TrixyStevens]

He’s a decent keeper and better than Pickford.

Very poor defending

I blame holgate he watched the whole ball come over and left it thinking Keane would header it

You're on form tonight Baz lol

 

[Carloblues]

Hes been more solid than not, don't think he is the answer to our number one though, if he's not good enough for Roma is he good enough for us?
