Palfy Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 It was a very solid performance, made 3 or 4 great saves even if 2 were through his own bad play, everyone makes mistakes the challenge is to recover them, I was impressed with that performance.

RuffRob Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Pickfords form has definately improved since Olsen has arrived at the club. Maybe some decent competition is what has been lacking. So on the currnt form we have two keepers we can rely upon. We should always be looking for improvment - if they can push each other to the improvment needed. Then great. I feel a lot better about the keeper situation than I did six months ago.

He's got a rib injury or something like that, and wasn't even on the bench. I was shitting a brick when Olsen was hurt and was worried Virginia would be coming on .

Hafnia Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 My fear of him not being reliable is less so than Pickford. His feet arent a patch on Pickford's but I'm not too concerned as Pickford tends to go short or hoof it long to the keeper. When his kicking is good it's a great weapon. The biggest plus for me with Olsen is his size and command of the area, crosses and corners feel less frantic and the defence looks more settled.

He played well but can’t see how you feel he improved the defence Leeds had 16 shots 7 on target and 7 corners, that doesn’t feel like a defence that was settled that feels like a defence that had a battle on their hands and were struggling to keep them at bay.

The way the defence operated, from corners and crosses especially.

I'm setting him up for a fall here but from what I've seen his presence/command of area is far superior to Pickford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Very poor tonight but I wouldn’t be disappointed if he was our back-up keeper. Pickford’s not going to stick around as a sub keeper so I want much better than both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 This is the 2nd game he’s buckled under the pressure of constant attacks to his goal, I can understand how that happens keepers going into panic mode when their defence isn’t protecting their area as they should do. But if we are going to say Pickford isn’t good enough to play for us because of the Leicester goal then the same should be said of Olsen, and on and on it will roll with every keeper we get because it’s an occupational hazard for keepers they are going to make mistakes, so what we need to focus on is do they do more good than bad for me Pickford definitely does his saves have gained us more points than his mistakes have lost us, and possibly the same for Olsen although he hasn’t had the same amount of games to judge him on in all fairness.

Romey 1878 Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Garbage and not for me whatsoever. We'll need two keepers in the summer. markjazzbassist and MC11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 He has below average feet for keepers at this level. He doesn't move them quick enough and it means he isn't as agile as he needs to be. I also don't think he is particularly commanding. To me he is your goal line keeper because he seems to lose his angles when he comes off it. He would probably be a perfect keeper for Burnley where he has a lot more time to set himself.

He's shite, can't even hit it as far as the half-way line. You're definitely right about him not knowing his angles as well - when Fernandes had that free-kick on the edge of our area you could tell he didn't have a Scooby Doo where he was in the goal.
