Zatman Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 1 hour ago, Keener window-cleaner said: He had one or two not so good games under the new manager and then didn't get much of a chance. Before that he was the no 1 and not bad at all. Not saying he is a super keeper and I'm kind of indifferent to the thought of bringing him to Villa, would of course always prefer someone better, but I dont fully agree with the poor tag at Roma. Roma defence and form massively improved when he was dropped from the team, probably not all his fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Makes sense to me. I love Jed but is he an able deputy in the Premier League? Behind this defence I'd say no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 He didn't look so good deputizing for Pickford last season. Ancelotti tried dropping him when he was in bad form but quickly brought him back because Olsen wasn't any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically not even good enough to be a Championship goal keeper according to Sheff United fans. he is awesome for Sweden though, so maybe just a blip.

Roma paid 10 million for him 4 years ago He isnt going to play many minutes but if we need him he would be a better fit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Lets see how good a coach Cuttz is then if Olsen isnt the best. That said Martinez is bottom of the prem this season for goals conceded vs expected goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 whether we think he's good enough or not, i dont see the problem. We will have 3 senior keepers, we can send all our young keepers out on loan for development & experience, and if martinez does miss the odd game, we have 2 x senior keepers to choose from, depending on who is doing best in training. Dont see a negative, especially as its a loan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you google goalkeeper xga i think thats where you find a list That just shows how misleading stats alone in football can be, moneyball doesn't work in football. Martinez has been solid this season, having watched every game so far. Martinez is the best GK we've had since I've been watching villa the last 30 years. Straight off the top of my head his save vs Leicester in the 2-1 win earned us 2pts which the stats won't show. Stats are important, but not in isolation and particularly in football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 We ain't gonna get a class keeper who is going to accept sitting on the bench for 99% of the season, unless Emi gets injured. Olsen will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
