Villa are so poor at defending this year it hurts, to make matters worse, Emi Martinez off injured at half time.

Olsen (backup) is probably the worst keeper I’ve ever seen, not surprised we’ve taken a hammering here.

Seasons over if Emi is out long term.
 
Would also add Wharton as well
He's a smashing player but I suspect injuries this season will put him lower on the radar of other teams and keep him there another season. I hope so, Palace seem to lose a couple of players every season and they can't afford all their key ones to go this summer (Guehi only has 12 months left by the summer so they either get a fee or he walks for free next year)

I don’t actually know Olsen. Haven’t seen him play.

But I will see your Olsen. And I will raise you Matt Turner.

He was first choice for us for much of last season and it was basically like having a walking points deduction in goal. Your heart was in your mouth every time the ball went anywhere near him.

Even opposition fans picked up on how blimmin’ useless he was with his feet and started the comedy jeering every time he had to use them.

Yeah they recruit well to fill the gaps as well

Eze , Mateta , Guehi and Wharton will prob be the next bunch to go

Would take Guehi and Wharton all day

slot banned for 2 games

Not sure why it took so long when he admitted the charge

 
meaningless stats

It fails to mention that the most recent occasion was in Sept 2001!
