Popular Post RumbleFox Posted 16 May 2021 Popular Post Posted 16 May 2021 You just sensed he was doing it all for Vichai. Like I don’t know if anyone’s seen The Quick and the Dead? But Sharon Stone’s character isn’t anywhere near as fast in the draw as Gene Hackman but she beats him in the final shoot out to avenge her father. Gene’s like “but you’re not as fast as me” and ol’ Sharon says “today I am”. That’s like Kasper. Today he was. Today he was the best ever. Sorry. Rambling. Basically, nice one Kasps. X 4 1

Clever Fox Posted 16 May 2021 Posted 16 May 2021 It's said great players are judged by what they do in the big games. I can only imagine the pressure Kasper was under with his Father having won it previously along with several league titles. What a performance from the him, and those two saves which he must have seen late. He can now say Dad I've done it too. He's now officially a true legend. 2

Players are always judged differently when they are still playing. Keller and Flowers both helped us to trophies but Schmeichel's overall presence and his ability in big moments mark him as the best since Shilton and Banks. It's one hell of an act to follow in a few years.

foxfanazer Posted 16 May 2021 Posted 16 May 2021 I mean his status at this club should never be in question but if yesterday doesn't cement him as an icon of this club I don't know what will. Unreal saves at huge moments 3

Unlike outfield play , goalkeeping doesn't change that much. I saw both Banks and Shilton many times. Kasper's shot stopping and agility is just as good as them. He doesn't dominate his area like they did though and that has been his major weakness. His father however I would rate as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time. What Kasper has though is a tremendous personality and leadership qualities and that has been crucial in our recent success.

I beg to differ with your assertion that "goalkeeping doesn't change that much". You only have to look at the myriad of rule changes affecting goalkeepers since the 1960's to know that is not true. The fact is a goalkeeper is expected to play like an outfield nowadays as well as have all the attributes such as sense of positioning and being a good shot-stopper. Long gone are the days where keepers predominately just used their hands. Edited 16 May 2021 by David Hankey
Popular Post HRR Posted 16 May 2021 Popular Post Posted 16 May 2021 Well the wife to be has just agreed we can call our 1st child that's due in September Kasper JJ (not after Justin 🤣) Ellis.

As I remember many a goalkeeper made last ditch tackles outside of their areas and occaisionally bamboozling opposition forwards with their footwork. A good many were quality outfield players if not of the highest standard. 1
It'sblueupnorth Posted 16 May 2021 Posted 16 May 2021 I was one of the people that fancied Ben Hamer over Schmeichel a few years ago, can’t believe how silly that sounds now. He’s got to be in the top 3 goalkeepers we’ve ever had, 100% a big game player. Those 2 saves he made yesterday especially the second were absolutely world class, and won us potentially the biggest game in the clubs history. One of the most consistent goalkeepers of the last 5 years and fully deserving of his winners medal 1

ceredigion Posted 17 May 2021 Posted 17 May 2021 I wonder if he'll follow the example of both Gordon Banks and Peter Shilton and sign for Stoke City next. 1
Blue ROI Posted 17 May 2021 Posted 17 May 2021 He didn't put a foot wrong the entire game. Even without the 2 jaw dropping saves it was still a near perfect performance in any case. I'd still say his finest hour was Sevilla in the Champions League. He pulled off some outrageous saves when the foundations of Nigel Pearson's era were collapsing all around him. If anyone wants to argue in favour of Last Saturday I wouldn't complain though. Legend.

Number 6 Posted 17 May 2021 Posted 17 May 2021 Two worldie saves. Went to get Vardy away from the interview for celebration. Offered to lift the cup with Wes. Went to get Top. Get the feeling he takes that armband seriously. What a man. 2
ARTY_FOX Posted 18 May 2021 Posted 18 May 2021 He has to catch the ball before it gets to rudiger. It's a really really shit trait he has for an otherwise outstanding goal keeper. 2
adam Posted 18 May 2021 Posted 18 May 2021 Amazing shot stopper. Hopless on crosses. The only way he Improve on defending corners is getting him replaced. I'm not saying we should but with him in goal we will concede a lot more from corners. 1

Our set pieces both attacking and defending are proper embarassing under Rodgers. 1
