Countryfox Posted 27 December 2020 Share Posted 27 December 2020 Some of his distribution yesterday was terrible and put us immediately back under pressure .. which can lower morale when players have just worked their socks off to nullify an attack. I know his shot stopping and leadership are superb but when balanced against his (overall) poor distribution and inability to come and collect high balls and command his area ... that would AT LEAST suggest he should have strong competition for his position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate his family is up in the North West but get the impression he has a deep connection with the club. I was thinking about the helicopter tradegy the other day and how that impacted Kasper on a personal level given that he seemed to have a close relationship with Vichai and the fact that he witnessed the incident and the immediate aftermath. Psychologically that must be with him everyday. I'd love him to be involved long term but have a feeling that he'll disappear up to the North West and we'll occasionally see him for the odd guest appearance. I was actually thinking the same the other day. Says an incredible amount about him as a person and his mentality. Love the guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He appeared to win it by 3 falls and a submission. In fact scratch that, he didn't even win the ball! That passage of play was ridiculous. Vardy fouled afterwards as well. Dean is just an awful ref. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The distribution is the big thing for me, the rest he's either excellent or average at imo. The ball out to the full backs is so bad. I'd rather he just launched it than play that ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheppyFox Posted 27 December 2020 Share Posted 27 December 2020 Brilliant keeper but I’d be lying if I said a bit of wee doesn’t come out every time he has the ball at his feet or decides to throw it to one of our lads when they’re surrounded by opposition players. An absolute bomb scare at times. Love him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeybradger Posted 28 December 2020 Share Posted 28 December 2020 Schmeichel gets way too much flak for his distribution, Evans is equally as dangerous to us when playing from the back, maybe more so as he's an outfield player, but you dont hear nearly as much about that.

Yea that was a clear foul on Vardy but the Tielemans one I don’t think is. It was a risky move by Youri and McTominay has managed to read it well and get his body in front (the first time all game, McTominay was no where near him most of the time).

David Hankey Posted 28 December 2020 Share Posted 28 December 2020 (edited) All keepers have their weaknesses as do all outfield players. The problem is that if a goalkeeper makes a mistake it usually gets highlighted out of all proportion or in many cases ends up a goal. An outfield player can inadvertently pass to the opposition, miss and open goal, not put a tackle in and the situation isn't as half as serious. Kasper is certainly one of the top keepers in the EPL and I doubt, at present, we could better him even if we wanted to.

A keeper passing to a fullback or centre half is nothing like players passing in open play further up the pitch mind you. Kaspers passes should usually be very simple.

Guest SO1 Posted 28 December 2020 Share Posted 28 December 2020 A gift to us all. Thank God we have him. Can't even think of how many matches he has kept us in or saved. And that's just since Rodgers has been here. World class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it looked poor, but you could also say it was unlucky. He was at the near post and despite him having great reflexes, he's beat by a powerful and precise effort. 8 times out of ten, that shot hits Kasper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmono84 Posted 28 December 2020 Share Posted 28 December 2020 It was a terrible mistake and this is becoming more and more frequent, wonder if it’s a concentration thing. JJ may have brushed the ball but a tame side foot volley shouldn’t be beating you at your near post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopfkino Posted 28 December 2020 Share Posted 28 December 2020 Poor mistake sure but Tielemans useless in his defending, Evans has to do more to stop the ball coming in and either Mendy or Thomas should have stopped the move long before. Easy to slag the goalkeeper for something more glaring than the litany of mistakes that led to the situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
