Harsh on Vards, not harsh enough on Kasper.

[Fox92]

Maguire was shit. How is he that high up. 

[The Doctor]

Vardy and dragovic, both of whom would be the ones who would realistically come out with any credit, at 8th and 10th? 

[Sublime_Coatsworth]

I normally agree with these results but Maguire had his worst game for us - yet scored five places higher than Vardy?

 

Very odd!

[Guest MattP]

Unbelievable. Vardy and Dragovic were our two best players? N'Didi MOTM? He barely got near a Man City midfielder unless it was to foul them.

 

Bizarre.

[Dan]

Vardy below Maguire  

[Ted Maul]

How on earth did Vardy get a 4? Fed off scraps and got us back in the game. 

 

There's no way we've had 14 worse managerial performances than that either. Puel had a shocker. 

[Brainy]

Fleetwood A was worse. Get some perspective, we played the best team in football right now. Fleetwood was probably the 'worst' team we've played all season

[NewquayFox]

Dragovic below Simpson & Maguire, makes a mockery of these votes but then again the last 3 were spot on if a tad generous...

For one mistake - after a string of saves and two goals he actually half-managed to block? He had a decent game.

One mistake? He was directly at fault for three goals.

You mean bad distribution? Take a long look at those Manchester players - he was f**ked whatever he did. He passed short and they were on our defence like wolves - he passed long and their defence won the majority of balls. Looking to blame Schmeichel for the loss ignores the stark distance in ability between Man City's team and the rest of the league (possibly bar Spurs). We might have (luckily) gone in 1 - 1 at half-time but they wore us out. He was 5 at worst - I voted him 6.

He just chipped one into midfield, passed one straight to Aguero and ducked out of the way of the 5th.

 

I don't care who we were playing against, I just expect a Premier League goalkeeper to make a couple of simple passes and saves.

Fortunately, I don't see his performance as having been half as bad, in the circumstances, as you do.

Why is that fortunate?

 

You've rated him a 6 yet the rest of the forum rated him as 2.46.

[Redouane]

I'm surprised the manager confidence didn't change.

You see goalkeepers (even in the Prem) make mistakes with the ball to feet regularly.

Kasper is usually decent at it, but like always with goalies, if they make a mistake it can often lead to a goal scoring chance for the opposition.

 

I don't think holding him accountable for the third goal is fair.

He got it a fair distance away and Maguire could have cleared it in the first place.

Instead he put Schmeichel under pressure and the rest of the players were caught ball-watching.

 

Likewise with the fifth goal, Agüero gets all the time in the world to shoot and despite many sources saying the shot was tremendous, Kasper still gets the blame on here because it flies over him.

Kasper is one of the shortest goalies in the PL and it's a known weakness of his that he can't really do much about.

Just like you're not going to Expect kanté to be as good in the air as Ndidi.

Yet it is still held against him and is counted as a mistake, despite the quality of the shot being very good.

 

I distinctly get the feeling that because he gifted the fourth goal, it amplified people's opinion on the third and fifth goals and these moments stand out like a sore thumb.

Rubbish most premier keepers would have saved 3 or 4

[Monsell1976]

Albrighton higher than dragovic, just proves people vote biases toward there favourite players, rather than actually rate the individual performance, either that or not watch the game and make it up, as albrighton was dog shit, along with others.

[Chester Dontlie]

Indeed seeing Vards and Drago lower than Albrighton, Maguire and Mahrez is mind-boggling

 

A game to blank out... Onwards and upwards

The shot from the edge of the box went right over his head.  He crouched then spang up and missed it. If he had just stood a fbput his jabds up he woukd have blocked it.  I like kasper... but he is not a top six keeper.
