I think they're pretty rare but I remember Kompany having one a few years ago and Phil Jones saying he wouldn't bother with his because nobody would come so they must still be a thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine if we did one it might be more of a "group" one rather than just for Kasper Quite a few players like Kasper, Morgan, King etc. that probably all deserve one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason given is absolute drivel because we have a number of players that will be a the World Cup. It is odd isn't it. And not half because we've got this glaring set piece issue which we're trying to solve without a big piece of the puzzle.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's brainless, if he doesn't fix what he's promised then decisions like this will be hard to defend, even from the most staunch Brendan supporters. None of this summer makes any sense yet, hoping for one of our unreal seasons in the face of adversity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 11 July 2022 Share Posted 11 July 2022 He had three weeks off last year when virtually everyone else had longer. Maybe an extra week this time to balance it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a chronic set piece issue that Rodgers promised to sort and Kasper is arguably the most important element that needs coaching.

He was in the Krispy kreme cabinet getting a full dozen and he was quite rude. What do you mean he had his cock in a ring donut? That is rude.

Ric Flair Posted 11 July 2022 Share Posted 11 July 2022 Looks like he had a week off after the end of the season before going away with Denmark, he didn't go to Thailand with the majority of the squad. Hmmmmmm fishy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on son, have an extra week off. I’d rather he come back refreshed and feeling like he got to spend time with his family. 1 extra week from what is presumably continuous set pieces training over several years isn’t going to make a massive difference. Think you’re trying to make a story out of something that’s isn’t there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he has kids aged 10 and 12. Probably not been back to Denmark (outside of football) for extended break post COVID. People won’t like hearing it but set pieces will partly be an opposite specific thing, rather than intense sessions on it.

moore_94 Posted 11 July 2022 Share Posted 11 July 2022 (edited) I don't think we are going to be in Evian for very long anyway are we? Friendly against Leuven in Belgium on Saturday and then Hull next Wednesday Going to be 1 week at most? With probably 1 or 2 days of that in Belgium Edited 11 July 2022 by moore_94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you’re trying to make a story out of something that’s isn’t there. So if Rodgers fails to fix the set piece issue this summer that he's promised to, giving your goalkeeper an extra week so that he will miss over half of pre-season would not be a valid query? I'm being presumptious but I've long thought Rodgers doesn't take the set piece issue seriously enough. It was as late as November or maybe even later that he claimed there was no set piece issue after the best part of a years decline across 2020/21 and 2021/22 only to finally have to concede (excuse the pun) when it became a farce. Just as the players don't appear aggressive enough to have the desire to win the 1st ball, I don't think he's that bothered about being dominant at set pieces at either end. He's a funny way of showing it if he does. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only an hour flight or so, so they could head back after Leuven if they wanted to I guess but I don't think they will So only probably 3 full days in Evian? Depending on when they choose to head to Leuven I expect it is mostly going to be fitness stuff they do anyway (they like their bike rides over there), possibly a bounce game as well if there is any other clubs on a camp out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 12 July 2022 Share Posted 12 July 2022 Schmeichel is one of those people that you find in any organisation (not just a football team) who basically adheres to his own set of rules. He gets on amazingly with the owners, he’s been here for years, has won the Premier League with the club and has a famous dad who was at Man Utd for years. If he’s back in training a week later than everyone else, no-one will bat an eyelid. THAT will be what is happening here. Nothing more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 12 July 2022 Share Posted 12 July 2022 Kasper has played 71 games (at least 90 minutes in all of them) since the start of the Euros about 13 months ago. He's being given a rest because he's going into another season where he's going to play a similar number of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
