Kasper Schmeichel...

People forgetting the Man City game where he was brilliant and saved us from a dry humping.....

No one has forgotten all the top saves he does and is capable of.

 

His flaws here are being shown up Vs the more direct teams. I don't remember Man City putting balls into the box as often as other teams

He is shocking at corners. Stays rooted to the line mostly, even when the ball is in the six yard box. Not a strength of his.

 

 

That’s actually the main thing we were warned about by Leeds fans when he signed for us.

I think a taller keeper claims the cross for the winner last night and a fair few of the goals we have conceded recently that have been across the 6 yard box, that's just something Kasper cannot do

[SouthStandUpperTier]

The uncomfortable truth is that if  you swap the goalkeepers over for the two legs, we'd have won the tie comfortably.

 

Still got to back a club legend like Schmeichel though. Just needs to find that top form again.

[Jimmy]

The fact that Kasper is totally bulletproof is in itself a problem, realistically how many games in a row would Kasper have to play badly before he was dropped? you're probably talking double figures in games, no player should be in that position, I do wonder in thew manager's mind how close he thinks Ward is to Kasper

[Claridge]

I’m afraid his time is up if we can identify a replacement . World class one on one shot stopper, div 1 standard distribution and Vicky park standard in the air. Costs us more than he saves us

I've been really critical of him recently but this simply isn't true

[Gazza M]

Don't like his inability to claim crosses. Never been strong there. Fantastic shot stopper still, but maybe has a couple of years left at this level at the most.

Really, take away the basics that most keepers can do and then think about the times kaspers brilliance saves us  and minus the horrendous command of the box, terrible distribution etc... Iand I think it would be in the negative. Hard to quantify I know, but feels like a bit of a liability nowadays

It's the nature of the position. Even De Gea has spells where you think he's useless.

It hurts,but after seeing Banks,Shilton and Wallington,and even a smaller K.keller...I just have to agree..

But even then ,I will Never say or lets say begin anything negative against Kasper....He has been and still is a Top Servant to this club.....!!!i

Even way back in time,I have always believed you have a Nr one GK,who still should be occasionally rotated ,even for league games.Not just cup games..!!s

Last Night I would of Played Ward,and started with Gray....These are but little things....!!!

He's been cursed ever since he pulled that stupid sword from the stone.

Yes, that's an interesting point. Also, if he'd had some serious competition he might have tried to do something about his appalling goalkeeping from crosses because he certainly hasn't improved any since he's been here and it's they same problem he's had since he was at Manchester City all those years ago, which is why Sven always picked Hart over him.

That's a fair point that's hard to argue against with any reason.

sign vestergarrd and put him in goal!

[steflcfc]

I have thought for a good few weeks now, that he isn’t facing many shots on target against him in recent games, yet still picking the ball out the back of the net.

 

Yes we can say the defence isnt as tight as it was earlier in the season also, which has a slight bearing.

 

But I am having big doubts with his concentration levels in games we are trying to dominate possession more.

 

He hasn’t as we all know, for a good few seasons he hasn’t really had a good enough number 2 to really push him to strive to get better in weaker areas of his game.

 

Because of this, is complacency now starting to creep into his game?

Poor distribution most games 

often gives at least one clear cut chance to opposition team through a brain fart or lack of concentration.

lead boots when it comes to corners and crosses.

slow to react to the first goal.

also rooted to the line when they missed clear chance for tap in.

2nd goal positioning was bad.

He has been a great servant to the club, but we really need to have someone pushing for a first team replacement.
If Ward isn’t doing in after a few years he should be moved on.

Kasper shouldn’t be undroppable when going through a poor patch of form. 

 

Brain fart kickout right on que

and being lead booted for another cross over the 6 yard box

[Jonezy]

Rough patch at the moment. 

[Guest Kopfkino]

Shocker. 

First goal was absolutely wank

No excuses for not having your defence organised for the second

[Superpants82]

Been poor for a long time. I've never rated him on set pieces anyway and his distribution is toilet. I've got a feeling Brendan will bring in a new keeper in the summer to push him and let either Jakupovic or Wardy go 

[Farrington fox]

Time to move him on. He isn’t going to settle for being no2

Don't be stupid. His form always goes up and down, he's a massive personality at the club. I'm not against bringing another keeper in, but you can't just bin him off. He's always been poor coming for crosses and corners, I'm surprised teams haven't targetted him more often this season.
