fox_favourite Posted 23 June 2021 Share Posted 23 June 2021 (edited) A goalkeeper isn’t there to make beautiful passes. That should be the job of the midfield. I’m old school and not bothered by a showboaty keeper who thinks he’s Pirlo. Kasper is one of the most reliable keepers in the league. It proves how good when we are all shocked when he makes a mistake. sometimes his distribution goes wayward, however I wouldn’t want anyone else in between the sticks for us at the moment. We are very lucky to have him, as without we wouldn’t have any of the success we’ve achieved in recent years. Though saying that, Chris Weale comes close….or maybe not. Haha.

The most accurate long passer of the goalkeepers on that list. Too many people appear to want 100% accuracy and don’t look at the bigger picture. Still baffles me daily when I see Kasper getting any stick on here. People have been hyping Danny ward up and he chipped it directly to an Italian forward the other day at one point. Kasper should never get any stick he's been one of the 3 or 4 best keepers in the league since we've been in it. Our fans just suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hankey Posted 23 June 2021 Share Posted 23 June 2021 Invariably an error made by a goalkeeper often ends up as a goal whereas an outfield player can miss a tackle, pass to an opponent, shoot high wide and not very handsome and it doesn't matter. Whatever anyone says it is a specialised position and requires a great deal of skill. Folk ought to think on before they dish out their criticism and remember there isn't a player alive who has never made a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 23 June 2021 Share Posted 23 June 2021 People realise that short passes for a keeper is probably 10 yards to a defender with nobody near them The kind of thing I'd expect anyone with legs to be able to do 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must be the longer passes, which explains the percentage. They're not simple passes, because you never want to underhit that lofted pass otherwise the opposition is clean through on goal Tbh I like Kaspers desire to launch quick counter attacks, I don't have any issue with some going out of play if it's well intentioned. It's all being coached out of him though. Like you say, he either passes it to a cb. Or he chips it out wide to a full back/winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted 23 June 2021 Share Posted 23 June 2021 thing with those stats is I'd love to see how they were 4 years ago. His kicking was absolutely atrocious and he's clearly worked on it and is now pretty reliable. It was seriously so poor about 6/7 years ago. Would literally kick the ball out from about 75% of dead ball situations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 26 June 2021 Share Posted 26 June 2021 I wonder if we’ll keep Ward. This tournament so far seems to have raised his profile significantly. Cash in or keep? Although he might wish to leave if he gets offered a no 1 gig at a PL side. I guess the question for us is how many years has Kasper got left as no 1 at a top / progressive club like the LCFC big dogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Iverson will be Kasper's successor in a couple of years time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolberg needs a good team around him, but if he has that he is lethal. Easily the best finisher in Denmark's squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon with the right coaching and perhaps in the right team/set up he'd flourish in the Premier League. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last minute equaliser against Yeovil - yea it was his goal. That's without mentioning the off the field stuff he’s been through and done for us!

TJB-fox Posted 27 June 2021 Share Posted 27 June 2021 (edited) You just have to watch him on tv with Denmark and us and you can see the respect he commands from both players and staff. Unbelievable player and what a signing for the club. 10 years, that’s crazy. Love him People will only appreciate how good he is when we try and replace him.
