Davkaus Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 According to WhoScored This season in his 5 games, he's conceded 13 goals, he's made 13 saves In those games (from footystats.org) the xG against us was 8.3 So he's probably, on balance, done a bit better than grabbing a random fan out of the crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t heard anything, but to be honest I would rather play one of the young goalkeepers than Olsen. He is awful, and doesn’t even have the basic thing you would expect of a goalkeeper in being a good shot stopper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 He was at the game yesterday, and walked out at the end past us in full training gear, so dunno, but it seemed odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) His resume is fairly respectable having played around in Europe (Kenneth) and over 60 caps for Sweden. Yet has looked an utter disaster wherever he plays for us. Does he feel the pressure to do well when he rarely does play being the number 2. I have no idea.

rodders0223 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Had a dream he scored a penalty last night but he took it from 50 yards and rifled it in. Get on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Where is he? I don’t think hes appeared on the injury updates on the social media. I don’t rate him but I’m surprised if the youth keepers are making the bench ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I think I'd genuinely, 100% not joking have an outfield player in goal over him, so Sinisalo and Zych are definite step ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Interview in a Swedish paper were he says him and his family are very happy in England, has 2 years left on his contract and has no intention of moving. Doesn't really seem all that fussed about not playing much but obviously wishes he did play more. Obviously things can change but looks like we might be stuck with his (for a backup keeper) very large contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume he's living down here now compared to the wild North west which was obviously a traumatic event to go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club still need to pick up a likely rather big portion of his supposed £50k/w salary if we do. On top of whatever we have to pay the guy who becomes our new #2 keeper.

duke313 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Are we certain we can replace him with a keeper that is better? He might not be the best, but no half decent keeper is going to come here to be backup. And Emery seemingly likes two keepers on the bench, so even if we managed to get a better 2nd choice keeper, he's surely good enough to be 3rd choice? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: on a serious note I think it’s fine for him to be around the squad another year while we see if Sinisalo is as promising as he looks… Edited March 24, 2023 by Adam2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 For me it's partly that he is the starting keeper for the Swedish national side and will be as long as Andersson is the manager. Even if he doesn't get a second of football he will still start for Sweden and that's not ideal. He wasn't a terrible keeper up until that robbery. Never looked the same after that sadly.
