Because he’s not very good. Not being Pickford seems good enough for most fans.

If it was Pickford against Spurs he would have been picked apart.

Specifically didnt stay on his feet for the second (although it was Mina’s fault) & flapped at the cross resulting in the 4th.

Probably true. Dont think either are what anybody would choose to be in goal next season. But pickfords had his chance. Two years of erratic errors. Olsen has only just come into the side so he deserves the same chance.
The main difference between the two is i dont watch olsen thinking he's about to do something really bloody stupid.
 

Everyone’s wondering how we’ve been so good defending corners all season but by all rights should have been bounced out of the cup because of utter crap in that department

Coukd it be that the difference was... Pickford is better, at least at this?

I know that’s heresy.
 
He did look nervous at every corner didn't he. Personally think he has got to come for 1st one, and their was one in the 2nd half which he flapped at and then lamela just put it over the bar. A few good saves, but if Pickford had played like that he would be getting pelters

All 3 goals from the corners came from players losing their man.

Dom ducks out the way for the first.
Siggy tries wresting with Sanchez.
Kane is as free as a bird back post on a recycled ball.

Olsen made a good save for the 2nd. None of the goals were his fault as the defence of each cross was pretty poor.

So I don't think Pickford changes that.

Was a decent punch rather than a flap, with bodies around him.

Pickford wouldn't have got near it with his tiny arms
 

I think he’s probably another one who’s an accomplished shot stopper but without the aptitude in the other parts of the goalkeeping game

Does not work like that it was not his fault. We have three players on the same opposition and we lost the header. Much like Man Utd fourth goal. Four players lost a header to one opposition. How on earth people blaming the keeper this is unbelievable.
 
Still Olsen all day for me.

i mean, Sigurdsson is in no mans land for a couple and another Kane is unmarked on the back post.

People forget the decent things people do In Games and we’re out last night if it wasn’t for the first 15 minutes performance by Olsen who made a couple of top drawer saves.

So whilst stats won’t look too good for him, I don’t feel anxious as hell with him on my line.
