Jimmy Posted 28 December 2020 Posted 28 December 2020 the world class saves are great but the simple stuff is more important as they happen more often, it was a tame side footed volley not a vicious shot he could barely react to, it seemed to go straight through him with that little pace on it a minor deflection, if there was one, off of Justin would have made very little difference. 1

I'm glad other people have spotted this too. I didn't notice it at first but when you see the angle behind the goal, you can see the shot gets a faint touch off Justin's boot which diverts the ball past Kasper, and of course he doesn't have time to react. 1 hour ago, Jimmy said: the world class saves are great but the simple stuff is more important as they happen more often, it was a tame side footed volley not a vicious shot he could barely react to, it seemed to go straight through him with that little pace on it a minor deflection, if there was one, off of Justin would have made very little difference. It would have made a huge difference. Kasper has set himself and the deflection diverts it past him. Edited 28 December 2020 by Jonaldinho 1
Mike Oxlong Posted 28 December 2020 Posted 28 December 2020 Still a great shot stopper and still goes awol on corners and crosses 2

It's not even necessarily the severity of the deflection. Think Kasper was waiting to see what would happen if it touched Justin's boot on instinct to not be wrong footed, but the shot was caught so sweetly that he basically had no time to adjust. I usually have little sympathy for keepers beaten at their near post but make exception in this case.
Koke Posted 28 December 2020 Posted 28 December 2020 (edited) His contract runs out in June 2023. He'll be few months shy of his 37th birthday. Better start looking for a replacement now, as his decline is around the corner. Better keepers than him (Cech, Casillas, Lloris etc) have declined massively by the time they hit 34. Great shot stopper, produced multiple game saving moments in the last 10 years. Still goes missing on corners and free kicks. Edited 28 December 2020 by Koke
kiwiturk Posted 29 December 2020 Posted 29 December 2020 (edited) He hasn't been dominating opposition crossings for a while now. We have been looking very vulnerable at the corners lately. Edited 29 December 2020 by kiwiturk
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 29 December 2020 Posted 29 December 2020 All keepers make mistakes, even the very best. His key goal-saving moments hugely outweigh his mistakes. 2 1
Corky Posted 3 January 2021 Posted 3 January 2021 Thought his distribution was much better today and his positioning to cut out two counter-attacks very impressive. 2

Don't think any kicks went out of play today either. He was like Neuer-possessed for that first one he cut out!

Corky Posted 3 January 2021 Posted 3 January 2021 A lot of the senior players are. Kasper, Vardy, Evans, Albrighton, Fuchs was up to a few weeks ago. Serious leaders in that dressing room.
cruzFOX Posted 4 January 2021 Posted 4 January 2021 Kasper was doubling up as a sweeper today! Amazing awareness of the game to take clear that ball away twice from Wilson 1
eblair Posted 4 January 2021 Posted 4 January 2021 is he up to 400 games for us next time out, our most capped player in the 21st century, a legend not appreciated enough imo think for any other club with our size and pedigree, he would easily be their best keeper of all time, just a bit of an oddity we have had banks & shilton; often think maybe that might contribute to some of reason people do not show him respect he deserves on here 4
SemperEadem Posted 4 January 2021 Posted 4 January 2021 Only 9 more men have pulled on the shirt for us more times than him.

eblair Posted 6 January 2021 Posted 6 January 2021 Probably schmeichel’s biggest fan but this interesting on him at corners 1 1
Sampson Posted 6 January 2021 Posted 6 January 2021 What counts as "claimable"? Is it based on the area the ball is delivered, number of defenders marking the goalkeeper, height of the ball when it's in the goalkeeper's area etc.? Or some individual watching every corner in the PL this season and making a subjective call?

If you look at it most of the best keepers have 100% success rate, coming out for a corner and fumbling/missing it isnt acceptable tbh. Edited 6 January 2021 by honeybradger 1
Popular Post Skulking Around Posted 7 January 2021 Popular Post Posted 7 January 2021 Kasper's gone back-to-back for Danish Footballer of the Year. That's his third time now, the same amount his dad won. 8
zealot Posted 7 January 2021 Posted 7 January 2021 I'm loving how much you hear him screaming during (non-artificial-crowd-noise option) games recently. It's an insight into his mentality. Although it would really piss me off having to defend in front of him... The guy never shuts up. Earache!

Corky Posted 7 January 2021 Posted 7 January 2021 I'm not surprised, he seems have play a blinder in each Denmark match.

Nalis Posted 7 January 2021 Posted 7 January 2021 There was a stage when we debated whether Kasper, Hamer or Schwarzer should be our 1st choice, pretty sure there were even polls/thread on it here. Feels like a lifetime ago.
