2020/21 Robin Olsen

[EFCPaul]

Getting dropped as soon as Pickford is fit.

Not right if so, Olsen deserves a proper run. One goal at Old Trafford aside he's been fine.

Harsh, but unfortunately we are conceding a lot of goals

They both look very similar in standard to me. We need better in the summer.

He's conceded nine goals in three matches. Rightly or wrongly, the goalkeeper is the quarter back of the defence, the boss. If Pickford conceded nine in three - and in the manner of some of the goals Olsen has conceded - there would be calls for his head.

Olsen was very good against Leeds but immediately blotted his copy-book against United. He, basically, blew his chance to become number one. He followed up by conceding another four against Spurs, thanks to a disorganised defence that he is supposed to martial, and then another two at home to lowly Fulham. He has lost the right to the shirt for now.

But never fear. Jordan Pickford and calamity are frequent bedfellows. Olsen will get another chance...

I think Pickford is better at organising defence and distribution, prob worse on crosses and stupid mistakes... Both plop

Made a few more mistakes really if we are honest, came out to punch a ball v Fulham-didnt get it right, it dropped to a Fulham player who hit it over a empty net, v Leeds all those saves came from his kick out, error v man utd, nearly caught out when he came out the area when Vardy i think it was was running quick at him and mina [think it was mina] in away game,Plus the odd other thing, Like Pickford make's decent saves but Make's errors

 

[Azzurri]

Better than Pickford for me, at least at the moment.

He’s very unconvincing and would be a decent no. 2. But at least he isn’t making absolute howlers and does pull off some outstanding saves (as Pickford does from time to time).

 

[roy vernon]

Not much to choose between him and Pickford for me, the attraction of Olsen is that he would be a cheaper option than Pickford. That said, he is not good enough for first choice, so, any decision to sign him on a permanent deal would, for me, depend on us being able to offload Pickford and bringing a genuine number 1. Easier said than done, so, I guess we will be stuck with Pickford as a very expensive number 2 keeper should we decide to bring in a new first choice.

 

[Arteta2391]

ever since Howard left

we have had mediocre keepers

I rated Howard even though towards the end his form dipped.

 

[TheBigIguana]

If he and Pickford combined as one we will have a very good keeper.

If you took the best bits of both and combined them the player that came out would just be Robin Olsen

 

[TheBigIguana]

Olsen seems more of a bottom half PL keeper, the more he plays the more it will become evident.
If he was a top keeper he wouldn’t have come here as a No2.

And Pickford is what then?

And Pickford is what then?

A Clown?

 

[everton1953]

No Pickford is England's number one. Remember to say that when you negotiate his transfer fee.

 

[Terrarian]

Only putting this here as he is a GK it's not a dig at Olsen but I genuinely think the quality of good goalkeepers has taken a nosedive. Seems it is more important for that one assist a season he may get kicking it than actually being a competent GK.

 

[MACCA75]

Doesn’t look convincing does he. Should be dominating his area more but we look vulnerable at corners all of a sudden
