brucey Posted 14 April 2017 Share Posted 14 April 2017 Zieler isn't very good. But I think Kasper improved his game this season by taking the few good bits off Zieler's game, namely coming out of his box more and catching rather than punching. Think the added competition rattled Kasper and dropped his form/confidence at the start of the season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 14 April 2017 Share Posted 14 April 2017 It's a no-brainer as to why he's not been more involved. It's a combination of Schmeichel playing the best of his career currently and Zieler not being effective enough in the opportunities he had whilst Schmeichel was temporarily injured earlier on in the season. If Schmeichel makes a terrible mistake soon, though I can see that happening personally, then that may only be the time he could return to the team.

Gerard Posted 14 April 2017 Share Posted 14 April 2017 I've actually been surprised at how bad he has been for us considering his pedigree. He looks a poor goalkeeper, not just a goalkeeper who hasn't played well. If Kaspar leaves in the summer he would not be the player to replace him. I was quite surprised when we signed him as a 27 year old World Cup winner with 7 caps for Germany. I didn't think he was replacing Kaspar but looked far too good to be a No2 for Leicester on the face of it. Reserve goalkeepers are a strange one, it's a position that isn't rotated unless it's an early cup round and goalkeepers don't get as many injuries as outfield players as they don't run as much. He must have come here thinking he could dislodge Schmeichel but he's light years away from doing that, it's a no contest between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had more games including in the champions league than he should have expected when joining as cover and competition for kasper and when he's had his opportunities I've found him unconvincing. He'll never earn more money than what he's on here. If I were him i'd reconsider his ill judged comments because he'll regret it when he's earning a quarter of what he's on now at a mid table bundesliga outfit. And people slag players off for money grabbing. Cant win can they? He wants games, its refreshing not something to beat up about. Also, stop being reeled in by tinpot news outlets who twist the truth, you are better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinkenzo Posted 14 April 2017 Share Posted 14 April 2017 If this was the Sun saying Schmeichel looks set to leave we'd be dismissing it saying its only the Sun There's nothing quotewise in that article that makes him come across as a twat, infact its probably just bits from an interview he did about a month ago. Any bit part player we have will have the same thoughts he is having. Its just a shame for him that the games he played was mainly infront of the defence that we were slating at that part of the season, and Schmeichel has easily gone up a level this season. Perhaps that is as a result of having our best #2 for donkeys years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in the team when the guys in front were offering pathetic cover...They were at the time poor to the man Zieler made some great saves at the time, but also made mistakes... Hes 28, he came here believing, he would see even more game time, nothing wrong in him he would reaccess his position in the summer... plus he hasnt said anything negative or laid blame towards team, or club.. He was the keeper at Hannover when they got relegated....says it all really Apart from that, he is completely inept. Against Bournemouth away he kicked the ball straight at the back of an opposition forward and if the forward had been any good he would have scored a freebie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsmith74 Posted 14 April 2017 Share Posted 14 April 2017 I really don't know what he expected when he came here. Kasper is one of the best keepers in the world at the moment and it's not as if Zeiler hasn't had a chance. He didn't do a massive amount wrong when he was in but clear that defence didn't have a massive amount of confidence in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At no point did he "threaten to quit" the team. The dumb, knee-jerk reactions are getting ridiculous on here. I guess folks are back to believing what The f***ing Sun has to say about our players.

TheUltimateWinner Posted 14 April 2017 Share Posted 14 April 2017 Ffs ignore that sun article, don't even need to read it to know it's based on an interview he gave weeks ago saying he was frustrated but ready to be called upon, understanding why he's not getting minutes due to kaspers form. He's shown good attitude in my opinion, he always supports the boys on social media even when he's not playing. Lets not turn this into a witch hunt just because not many rate him.

UniFox21 Posted 14 April 2017 Share Posted 14 April 2017 Zieler let in 23 goals in 13 appearances i think, and given schmeichel being in the form he is, can he really complain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannythefox Posted 14 April 2017 Share Posted 14 April 2017 Hamer has done better than he has in the games he played since arriving. Sell him in the summer 50k a wk apparently is silly. Go buy Prichard for when kasper goes to a bigger club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 14 April 2017 Share Posted 14 April 2017 Hamer better than Zieler Both not good enough, but I'd rather have Zieler over Ben "I can't kick straight" Hamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKA Castroneves Posted 14 April 2017 Share Posted 14 April 2017 Not surprised to hear this, he'll go back to Germany with the right team and do well probably - a decent keeper for the mid-table over there, proven that already. Won't be fun if we have to replace two keepers this summer though, but if we lost Kasper i'd have been inclined to replace him with a new number 1 like Joe Hart anyway rather than promote Zieler to the top spot - so yeah good luck to him in the future.

Freeman's Wharfer Posted 14 April 2017 Share Posted 14 April 2017 I've been frustrated... with his dire performances. Can't kick further than the halfway line, no communication, can barely remember him making a save in all honesty. We'd do well to get rid of as many of last season's summer signings as possible. Re-coup as much money as we can, put it together with the Champions League money and try again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue ROI Posted 14 April 2017 Share Posted 14 April 2017 No surprise Kasper is still first choice. Different level to Zieler. You'd think that any German would know better than trying to compete with a schmeichel from Denmark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
