In fact it might be true of Soumare too. Not trying to make excuses, so much as trying to understand, I see it more clearly than that mate. Cags has been bang average this year BUT teams know he can be very very good too Amartey has been as bad imo but I doubt there’s many suitors vying for his services. Therefore, we sell Cags. We’ll get decent money for him It’ll be based on money I think Edited 11 May 2022 by Col city fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he WAS dropping off anyway. He had an awful Euros Cags is a big bull of a CB. He needs a top defender alongside him to perform to his best.

Those crazy moments like the Bournemouth game are unfortunate but part of his personality. He is almost like a throw back to 70s football when players weren’t robots. At his best he is a star. And he has the best chant too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of those were blatant errors from Kasper vs errors from our defenders? Even where there was a blatant error from one of our defenders could Kasper of done better to come off his for the ball? Here's a quick overview of the goals conceded from corners that I can remember this season - probably missed a few Burnley at home - Vardy OG from the near corner of the 6 yard box - Bullet header! Arsenal home and away whipped corner to the near side corner of the 6 yard box - our defenders completely lost track of his man on both. Soumare and Thomas at fault for losing their man - could Kasper of got to any of these? Villa Away - Far post corner - Cags fell asleep at the back post and hardly jumped for the ball not realising Konsa was just behind him Chelsea at home - Rudiger completely unmarked although feel that Kasper could've possibly come out for that. Man City away x 2 Ndidi & Nacho outjumped with ease for both between the edge of the 6 yard box and pen spot Liverpool away - Ndidi completely loses track of Van Dijk at the edge of the area. Jota left free to score from the rebound. West Ham at Home - Amartey loses Dawson at the edge of the area and fails to compete for the header. Kasper could've come for it but was blocked in Newcastle away - Amartey failed to contest the header despite being under the ball - there's a case that he was fouled by Burns but should've been stronger. Kasper error from the goal mouth scramble Spurs away - Amartey loses Kane around the penalty spot giving Kane the free header Everton Home - Ricardalison has a free header just outside the 6 yard box (Fofana mistimed his jump). Kasper should've done better to get the ball out of the danger area with his save Roma Away. - Kasper should've come for that at the edge of the 6 yard box knowing 5ft 7 Ricardo was up against 6tf 2 Abraham Forest away. Will never watch the highlights back for this game but seem to remember them scoring from a corner with the goalscorer being completely unmarked Quite a mixed bag there, with some down to Kasper but a hell of a lot down to defenders completely losing track of their man or just simply failing to challenge for the header. Great effort fella going through all those goals. In agreement except for the Roma one, Abrahams was jumping away from goal with Ricardo acting as a screen for Schmeichel which prevented him from claiming it. (If he had tried to reach over) I put that one down as a Ricardo / team failure. Usually the opponents put a smaller player on the keeper to block him, not as the target for the cross. Jose's watched how we've started defending corners better and has worked it so there's a missmatch. Abrahams scored the exact same goal against Juve at the start of the year. But without a Ricardo pick and roll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 12 May 2022 Share Posted 12 May 2022 Massive moment. Considering the space the Norwich player had, Kasper read the situation brilliantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countryfox Posted 12 May 2022 Share Posted 12 May 2022 The team needs a shake up .. we all know how good Kasper and Cags can be but that doesn’t mean they will always maintain it or get better .. personally if the friendly ghost wants ‘European football’ and the Toon or whoever are interested then I’d let him go .. his distribution is sh1te at times and having a keeper who could command his box would outweigh losing his superb shot stopping imo .. As for Cags he is now too hit and miss .. time to go. If we replace both with two more dominant and inspiring players (big ask but I’ve got faith in our recruitment team) our set piece problem could be solved once and for all.

gurru991 Posted 12 May 2022 Share Posted 12 May 2022 It wouldn't bother me at all to see Kasper leave this Summer. He just doesn't fit in to the way the game has evolved. As for Cags, I would really hate so see him go!! His upside is off the scale but he has really struggled this season. Maybe a new manager could turn him around !!

Sharpe's Fox Posted 12 May 2022 Share Posted 12 May 2022 last night proves he's the best goalkeeper in the league at 1 on 1 saves. Does that make up for his inadequecy set pieces? Difficult to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
