Surely might as well stay here and play in the premier league. Maybe playing in the PL for 8 years and winning it, he's sort of see it as been there done that. 1 season in the CL, probably just want to experience it again, I don't know we have seen Villarreal, Ajax, Monaco, Roma and Lyon make the semi's in in the last 5 years. Depend on what offers he gets.
The Quick Brown Fox Posted 14 April 2022 Posted 14 April 2022 I have been open and screamed for him to F.uck off at times when emotion takes over (I'm talking about incidents the Tottenham game - I know it wasn't directly his fault before it's pointed out), but when you look at the highs and lows with Kasper directly involved the highs massively outweigh the lows. And I for one will be absolutely gutted when he decides to move on. 1

I saw my 2 Footballing Heroes Banks & Shilton have howler moments and in the very same game,Pull out gobsmaking moments, just like Schmeichel,or slink away feeling they helped to lose a game....Mistakes/errors, form are part of the game. Too many on here over-analyse, then create Silly agendas... 5

I could understand him wanting CL football, but I am not sure he will have many options for it outside some of the mid-level European league entries, that won't get past the group stages. I was just commenting on the regular use of the world "relaxed" when speaking about contract situations. It means absolutely nothing, and Rodgers might as well use the world "yellow" or "air-dangled" for all the information it gives. The Club don't conduct their contract negotiations in public. never have, never will. 2

Nod.E Posted 14 April 2022 Posted 14 April 2022 That save from Gotze at 0-0. Wow. Make no mistake, not many keepers make that save. He has his flaws but he is peerless when it comes to shot stopping. 2
Nod.E Posted 14 April 2022 Posted 14 April 2022 On 13/04/2022 at 15:32, Deeg67 said: I think his shocking distribution is a much bigger problem than his inability to command the area on set pieces. It's tough with Kasper, because he is indeed a great shot stopper and well below-average in distribution and aerial supremacy. We can say "he wants CL" but the problem is for the big clubs, having a keeper who can start attacks and effectively function as an 11th field player is more important than stopping shots. How many shots do Man City or Bayern or PSG give up, typically? He's like N'didi in that his best attributes are more valuable to us than the power clubs and his weaknesses even more of a problem for them. Shocking distribution is a myth. He does have the odd game when he's off the boil and hits it out of play several times, I'll give you that. Generally he's fine. No keeper should have a 100% pass completion rate. You wouldn't expect it from a centre mid, so why a keeper? His biggest limitation is coming for set pieces. If he was good at that, he'd be one of the best in the world and we'd not have held onto him. 1
Deeg67 Posted 15 April 2022 Posted 15 April 2022 Agree to disagree. I think his distribution is among the worst in the league among 1st string keepers. Hell of a shot-stopper though. 1

Trev3939 Posted 15 April 2022 Posted 15 April 2022 Could someone explain to me the point of putting all the players on one side and him kicking it towards them and half the time out of play?
TheStig Posted 15 April 2022 Posted 15 April 2022 If he goes - and surely he won´t end up in a Danish club.... we have a very able substitute/understudy in Iversen.

I’d prefer it if he didn’t move to another PL club, but would be happy for him in whatever he chooses to do. On and off the field and absolute legend of the club. I am old enough to have watched world cup winner Gordon Banks so would dispute that claim ! 2

Like Banks and Shilton they said he makes match winning saves game after game, the points he’s saved/won us.
Getin Posted 17 April 2022 Posted 17 April 2022 At the heart of a very nervous defence on corners and set pieces. His howler today another example. I just can’t see his obvious weaknesses being addressed. Top shot stopper but weak in too many areas this season. Sadly exploited by all PL managers. If City has ambition Kasper needs some real competition next season. 4

But doesn't dominate the box as he should, distribution is iffy too often and prone to silly errors as we saw today.

But he’s too unorthodox which means he makes too many mistakes . Shilton was the best technical keeper I’ve ever seen. My dad said Banks was better so he must have been very special. 2

Also these people who think we should get rid... where do we find a goalkeeper that has all the qualities of Schmeichel and who is very good at what Schmeichel is poor at? Your realise that means we're looking for the perfect GK? Where do we get one of those for under 50m? If they even exist. Got bigger priorities to splash our cash on before looking to upgrade GK Edited 17 April 2022 by Stinky 5

Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 17 April 2022 Posted 17 April 2022 World class shot stopper. League 2 at commanding his area on his crosses.

frany104 Posted 17 April 2022 Posted 17 April 2022 ANOTHER horrendous mistake today. He’s making far too many too regularly. unfortunately I think the time has come. New keeper needed. 2

He just used to fall over to his left or right I think you’re thinking of Italia 90 and he was past his best by then - his debut was 1966 and he was fantastic in the late 70s early 80s - it was a one man show in the 1980 European Cup Final for that shower up the road - always thought it horrendously ironic that a lad from Braunny was so pivotal for them - Kasper is very good but not in the same league
