Blameless? no. Not the major culprit? yes. Kasper was about 2 steps max too far across, he couldn't have come much further in. The major blame lied, and still lies, with the wall for not protecting that side of the goal, like it's supposed to.

Or, if you'd prefer - Spurs (H); who is at fault for Eriksens, the wall or Hamer? If you say the wall but think Kasper for this, when they're practically the same scenario, then clearly you aren't thinking straight about the two.

You're having a laugh here. Against Tottenham Nugent and Mahrez parted like the Red Sea and Eriksen put it straight through the middle of where they were stood. Against Burnley the wall stayed together and jumped but Wallace got the ball up and over the wall. It didn't even go in the corner. It was just because Kasper gave himself too much space to try and cover. Completely different situations.

I'd put the Eriksen freekick down to him being clever rather than blaming the wall. In hindsight of course they should've stayed together, but Nuge is expecting a cross and has jumped towards where he's expecting the ball to go, and Eriksen has anticipated the split and gone for the near post. Maybe Hamer should've been further across but it was a superb free kick and in off the post. 

 

As Wallace said in the post-match interview, Kasper gave him far too much room to aim at. Rubbish keeping.

lmao at people still thinking that's not ridiculously bad goalkeeping. i could've scored that free kick. i couldn't score a free kick from there against your average prem goalkeeper cos there wouldn't be THE WHOLE GOAL to aim at. 

 

if a free kick doesn't need to be in the corner, doesn't need to be in the roof of the net and doesn't need to be hit with any power to comfortably beat the keeper then the keeper has done something very badly.

Are we still debating this 6 months on????

Seriously chaps - must be something else to talk about

If we win, we are staying up :D

I think we should brush past burnley! We shouldn't even be in the same league as these and hopefully they will go down this year!

It's stat time

Burnley are without a win in eight league meetings with Leicester City, drawing three and losing five.

David Nugent has scored in eight of his last 11 league appearances against his former side Burnley.

Leicester City were bottom of the table for 140 days before last weekend's win over Swansea; no team has ever been bottom for that long a single PL season and not been relegated.

Only Aston Villa (9.2%) have a worse chance conversion rate than Burnley (9.4%) in the Barclays Premier League this season.

George Boyd has made the joint-most tackles in the Premier League this season (107) along with Chelsea's Nemanja Matic.

The Foxes have scored in the final five minutes in each of their last four Premier League games, with two of these goals being winners.

Leicester are looking to keep back-to-back Premier League clean sheets for the first time since March 2004.

Burnley have mustered just one goal in their last 10 hours and 39 minutes of Premier League football.

Danny Ings has now gone eight Premier League appearances without a goal or an assist, while in the seven PL games prior to this he'd netted five and assisted two.

Leicester have been leading at half-time in a league-low four PL games this season, while Burnley have found themselves losing on a league-high 16 occasions at the break.

 

Stick your money on Ings to score, you know what we are like when it comes to breaking bad runs.

Can't believe you could think that. I knew he'd scored before he took the thing. He had almost the whole goal to aim at. Kasper's positioning was terrible. (I love Kasper btw, by far our best keeper). The wall didn't do great, but to compare it to the spurs goal (where the wall parted completely ) is wrong. I blame Hamer for the spurs goal too, but not as much as Kasper for the Burnley goal. Have you heard Wallace's post match interview? He couldn't believe how much space he had. Neither could I

Doesn't matter now though. Kasper has been brilliant since he came back. He just gives us something extra. Class

It reminded me of when Ian Walker did a similar thing. The wall was too big, he was well positioned for the wall that was there, as he actually needs to see the ball. Wall should have had 4 men max so he could have stayed further in the middle. Still it's easy to say that now when you're not in the moment and your team has tried to screw you over by giving a free kick away in such a dangerous position.

If we go down I've already pinned 95% of the blame on Count Dracula for his positioning there.

Schmeichel has been fantastic in the last few games. He's a proper winner. So often when the chips have been down he's delivered for us. And he's doing so again at the moment.

But when push comes to shove, if we go down by a point or two, his positioning on that goal and his failure to come for the cross for QPR's second will stick out like a sore thumb as the two clearest mistakes leading to goals we conceded - both at crucial times against relegation rivals.

paul merson's view

 

This is a massive game – and one Leicester can’t afford to lose. They’ve got themselves in an unbelievable position now, but it could all go pear-shaped this week.

For everything they’ve done, if they end up getting beat and QPR win, they’re bottom again. It's a dangerous position for them now. I’ve said it all along, but now everyone’s expecting Leicester to get out of it – the pressure wasn’t on before.

But I’m going to go for a draw. There’s not a lot between these teams. Saying that, Burnley have scored one goal in seven – that ain’t going to get you out of trouble.

 

PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1

But people will forget the important saves, like the one on one vs Swansea when it was 1-0... Game changer. Swings & roundabouts?

Of course they will and it's not fair. But I'd expect far more top class goalkeepers to make that save from Oliveira than fail to even attempt to collect a ball which had travelled 40 yards into their six yard box. Those errors were pretty horrific, particularly the QPR one.

Don't worry I won't defend some of Kaspers terrible decisions this season but I can only compare him to what else we have. I've seen Hamers boo boo for Eriksens free kick, kicking that can't hit the half way line and Schwarzer has made a mistake in every game he's played. I'd like to think most would agree that if we were to push on in the Prem we probably need a better keeper.

I actually think he's alright and might prove to be ok in the long run.

I think Kasper as won us more points than lists let's face all goalkeepers make mistakes if he didn't he would be at real madrid.

 

Insert joke about Iker Casillas' last couple of seasons.

Recent form doesn't really come into this. This is a cup final, almost a winner takes all affair. They are a good hard working team, but lack the quality which is fairly similar to us in some ways. Nevertheless I believe we have the quality to see them off and hope our players turn up for this one.

Have I read it wrong?

 

Lawro's prediction: 2-1

Mark's prediction: Speaking as a Leicester fan, we badly need to win this game to keep alive our chances of staying up. 1-2

 

"Would I rather retain the World Snooker title or see Leicester stay in the Premier League? That's a tough one. I have got to know [Foxes manager] Nigel Pearson quite well over the past year so, as long as he is not listening, I think it would have to be me winning the world title."

The wall didn't jump, that was the problem. You can see who never played keeper by this discussion.
