Kasper Schmeichel...

[Guest Dirkster the Fox]

Leicester City Legend already (374 appearances), getting better by the game this season and at only 33 still got plenty of years in his tank.

 

Will he surpass 500 games for us?

 

We're lucky to have him:

We're lucky to have him:

 

As a shot stopper he is one of the worlds best imo, shown in the last few games since the restart. I think even by Leicester fans he gets majorly overlooked and isn't appreciated enough. However, his distribution lets him down drastically. 

[jaqo88]

That passage of play where he saved a fierce Tierney shot before kicking it upfield with perfect weighting for Vardy to latch onto past their defence was remarkable.

 

Don’t think you’d get many (if any) keepers in the world that would be able to do that

[RowlattsFox]

Shot stopping is never in question, particularly from inside the box. World class at that. Unfortunately he's been busier than we'd like in that regard.

[nnfox]

He's probably worth 15-20 points per season. That's how valuable he is.

That. And regrettably, his inability to command his box, particularly from crosses.

We are lucky to have him, but for anyone wondering why he’s not moved on to a ‘bigger’ club, there are your reasons.

[Sammy]

He's a legend for us and is the best quality keeper we could possibly get (even with our lofty position). 

 

Baffling he isn't appreciated more but hopefully his behind closed doors form will make some realise his value to the club

[Bert]

Yeah but he sometimes kicks the ball out so we need a new keeper

[foxfanazer]

He's been our best player by far since the restart. Immense last night

[Blue ROI]

Watching him against Villa and Chlesea back in January he looked like he may be on the wane but has been majestic since the restart.

 

The performance last night was right up there with the highs of Sevilla.

[Suzie the Fox]

Has been spot on since the restart and saved us a few points. Truley a Great Dane <3 

[STEVIE B]

He's been great since the return. He seems to command his area far more regarding crosses, particularly corners.

[Hales]

I'm also loving his pep talks in the tunnel before the match! Pumping them up. Go on Kasper! 💪

[Number 6]

I think his distribution stuff is because he is more adventurous than the normal goalkeeper. If you're knocking it to a CB 10m away then it's super easy. Look at the attempted quick outfield ball in the first half yesterday (can't remember who was on the end of it, I think Perez)...takes the ball romr a corner and pings the ball almost perfectly to put Perez in. Counts as a failed pass but it's such a useful weapon when it works.

Currently the best keeper in the Premier League..Better than Edison,Allison,lloris,Pickford,Henderson,de Gea..Where did he get that punched clearance against Crystal Palace ? ..his been keeping that hidden in his locker..landed 5 yards outside the box

Schmeichel is in beastmode at the moment. By far our best player after the restart.

[Jaspa]

He's a tournament & big game don. Champions League nights he stepped up and was tied with Handanovic for best goalie of the '18 World Cup(Lloris overrated imo)

 

Consistency has improved with age and has grown into the leadership role albeit I think we'd be better off with a defensive/midfield captain.

 

Certainly far surpassed hero status, guys been here since Sven. Longest standing player now? Gotta love him

[Haywood_6]

Had to make 4 saves in about 10 minutes. Denied Lacazette twice, Bellerin and Saka. 

 

Just love him

its more the 4 or 5 times a game he makes a shit kick right down the middle of the pitch to their midfielders that puts us back under pressure straight away people have a problem with.

 

You can mock all you like over it but its a much bigger part of a keepers game and every bit as vital as shot stopping if you are playing a possession game, Kasper NEEDS to improve this massively or yes the club will need to replace him, its not the biggest priority we have but its still something that needs addressing either by Kasper improving or signing a replacement.

 

No player is irreplaceable and no player should be immune if it improves the team

[RumbleFox]

In my days of viewing us (from late 80s) only Flowers comes close really. Leicester legend. X 

 

EDIT: And Pooley obvs.

ask Klopp and Pep why they spent shit loads on top keepers then, it is vital if you want to play a possession game, we have other priorities but that doesn't mean its not an issue

Always enjoyed Mark Wallington who was there for the start of my LCFC journey but Poole for a shortie was immense. That said, still place Kasper above them all.

Yeah Wallington probably on a level with Kasper but I don’t remember him. Just looking through the list and we’ve had some shockers in the past 20 years or so.
