Koke Posted 24 September 2016 Posted 24 September 2016 8 hours ago, brucey said: Kasper Schmeichel is out of Leicester’s trip to Manchester United - and could miss up to three weeks. That is a massive blow for Leicester ahead of a huge week as they go to Old Trafford and entertain Porto in the Champions League next Tuesday. Leicester keeper Schmeichel has suffered a recurrence of the groin problem which resulted in him having surgery earlier in the month. Schmeichel missed last week’s win over Burnley because of a concussion injury suffered in training but this latest setback is a separate issue. looks like the hernia again, back training too quickly? is Hamer any good as a backup to Zieler? Iversen from the youth team sounds really good Looks like Zieler will play today against United as well as Porto, Southampton, Chelsea, Palace, Copenhagen and Tottenham. I think he will do just fine.

lcfc81 Posted 24 September 2016 Posted 24 September 2016 Makes buying him in the summer look like a very good decision! where would we be now if we hadn't!
thegaffer9 Posted 24 September 2016 Posted 24 September 2016 I thought Zieler did well on Tuesday night, some very accomplished saves. We were lucky last season with our goalkeeping cover that it was not really required as it was wafer thin to say the least.
hatasi Posted 24 September 2016 Posted 24 September 2016 kasper is waaaaay better than zieler zielers way of defending crosses and corners doesn't suit premier league, he is always steady in the goal line and this causes goals against us, he don't try to go and fight to catch the ball or even punish it. we will suffer from heartattaks at this situation, i think.
Gazza M Posted 24 September 2016 Posted 24 September 2016 l like how we have all become GK experts overnight! Early observations of Zieler says to me that he is a better than average shot stopper. Personally I have not seen a lot more yet to pass judgement.

A criticism everyone has made of kasper at one time or another. Zieler is a perfectly good keeper - very different to kasper, particularly with his distribution. A lot calmer and slower; but meaning goals like Vardy v man utd last season won't happen (had a chance to get it away quickly to I think grey on Tuesday from a cross with a counter on a la the Fuchs ball for that goal).
Apollo Posted 24 September 2016 Posted 24 September 2016 Zieler will be adequate, but Schmeichel is no.1 without doubt
desertfox2 Posted 24 September 2016 Posted 24 September 2016 Zieler looks like a good keeper no doubt but Schmeichel is a league winner. x2
Nod.E Posted 26 September 2016 Posted 26 September 2016 I'd be deluded and harsh to attribute our loss to United on Saturday to Zieler, but I couldn't help but feel a few of Schmeichel's monster kicks would have relieved the pressure at crucial moments. There were times in that first half when the ball just kept coming back our way. Our fans definitely take the chances that come indirectly from Schmeichel's abnormally big kicks for granted. I'm not saying it would have happened but all you need is one chance at a crucial moment to turn a game on its head.

seenitall Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 RRZ looks a bit small, doesn't shout up enough at set pieces and although he leaps the right way, rarely seems to save any shots on goal....other than that he is great
Guest Bob Hazels shorts Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Decent keeper bosses the defense to avoid having to make saves
foxinsocks Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 we need both.... it's not or... it's and
Babylon Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Prefer Zielers distribution, he's a decent shot stopper... but his decision making seemed a little bit slower / more hesitant compared to Kasper, who rightly or wrongly (mostly right) makes a quick decision and commits.

Also think Schmeichel would have saved Smalling's goal. Obviously it's difficult to say but those sort of close range, reaction stops are really where Kasper excels. I don't know why I continue to bother fighting Kasper's corner. I'm in the minority by being a goalkeeper myself. I can't expect everyone else to see things through my lens.

Smallings goal is difficult. You'd have to get such a good hand to it to get it round the post as it's that far in, it was low, hard, and most importantly from six yards out. I personally don't think it's unsaveable but your looking at a proper worldy to keep it out. Especially if you're talking getting it safe as well.
Maybes Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Schmeichel for me. Zieler is decent enough back up mind you.
Wymsey Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Zieler looks much assured commanding the area and catching crosses. Problem with Schmeichel is that he can be a hot-head at times and can over-do simple tasks, making situations more frustrating for himself.
Bert Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Kasper for me. We we miss his organising big time.
Clever Fox Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Zieler hasn't let anyone down but it has to be Kasper. His kicks relieve so much pressure and can even create chances. Bert also makes a very good point about his organisational skills. Could that have anything to do with 3 Goals from Corners on Saturday.
Jimmy Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Nothing kasper would have said would have stopped Huth and Fuchs getting done at a corner
Callabinho Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Don't get the Kasper love. He is so horribly overrated it's untrue, comes out flapping at everything and a more clinical strike force would have beaten him today. He's far too rash. Really do not rate him.
