Guessing you think there was some stuff worthy of criticism then No harm in commenting on a player's performance on a fan forum. Someone hasn't magically played better/worse if the team has won/lost. Performance is performance. Thought he was horrible for almost everything except 10 yards sideways passes. Right up to bumbling around in the 93rd minute and not coming for a simple ball on the edge of the area...leading to him rushing to get it right on the left edge of the box. Spreads fear throughout the team. Flapped at their goal. Generally rubbish. Edited August 27, 2023 by Tomaszk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted August 27, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2023 He played OK, needs to build his confidence up and that's what this will have done. He can start against Hibs and hopefully start to build some form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishywashy Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) He was one of the backup keepers of all time. Honestly thought the goal wasn't his fault: Martinez probably saves it but Carlos and Pau had a complete nightmare there (and its Martinez). Not completely unexpected from a CB pairing who have played about 2 games together, though. Had some dodgy moments: it was funny in a way when he missed that punch by about 5 yards. They're backup goalkeepers for a reason. Edited August 27, 2023 by wishywashy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olsen was all over the shop for the goal, putting the defence under pressure by not coming out to claim it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7392craig Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I’m not jumping on the bandwagon, but he is shit. I’d have been more comfortable with Chambers in goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I can't take watching this guy play. I get such Nyland vibes. I am an emotional wreck everytime the ball comes anywhere near him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) I don’t get this he’s a backup so he is going to be pretty shite rhetoric. I’d be going for some over-the-hill-but-generally-ok type backup if we don’t have a youngster who is good enough to be number 2. The Carsons and Heatons of this world.

He should be much better than the likes of Carson/Heaton. However, he seems like a nervous wreck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flapping around the box whenever a high ball was put in. Useless. He made a big save at 2-1 so not sure what basing that on Compare him to the Brighton reserve yesterday (since we always have to compare to Brighton) then he was perfectly fine Edited August 27, 2023 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still though he looked very dodgy at times too. I wasn't impressed when we signed him, I'm more than willing to give him a chance but he will cost us games if he continues to make the kind of mistakes he made today as well. No point slating him for the sake of it if he's going to be our number 2 but he needs to improve for me, maybe he will with more time on the pitch... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I’d let him start the European second leg in order to allow Dibu to recover properly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah me too, if we're going with him he needs as much time on the pitch implementing Emery's coaching as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah am not saying he was top class but he wasnt bad today. You can even see he is trying to improve as a sweeper keeper Even the goal was at least 2 people at fault before Olsen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I don’t want to hate on the guy, but I fail to believe that we cannot find a half decent gk who is reasonable with his feet, won’t scare the s*** out of the defence every time he plays and is happy to be back-up. I’m not expecting a world class stopper, but Olsen just affects other players games too much for me. The lack of confidence just spreads like a disease whenever he plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Thought he should have been out to capture the one Torres eventually had to boot away. If Martinez got injured for the season we wouldn’t finish in top half. Thats way u look at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 He played ok today. I’ve criticised him but if he plays at that level he’s fine for the conference and lesser cup games. let’s start him v Hibs and let him build his confidence.
