It is indicative of the current frustration. 

Face it.. in his desperate need to be a catalyst Kaspersky gives possession away (like the second palace goal).

As a general rule, when you are struggling with injuries and form you should cut out the risky stuff.

So kasper needs to reign this in.  There is zero evidence that ward would be better.

Schmeichel is much more than just a goalkeeper for this team. We don't have enough leaders as it is, so dropping him would be an insane move.

I would make him stay behind after training for remedial goal kicking until he cracked it though, but drop him? No chance.

In the warm up, Kasper repeatedly finds his target over 30 yards away with impressive accuracy. In the heat of the moment during a match he seems to lose composure.

[Clever Fox]

I doubt very much he's going to replace Kasper anytime soon. Even though he is a very good Goalkeeper.

 

Have a look at Wards error for Wales last night. If he done that for us he'd be slaughtered on here.

The fact is all players make mistakes but invariably when a goalkeeper is involved it often results in a goal.

Obviously it's Wards error, but thing I was always told as a kid playing football, never play the ball on target when passing back to the keeper. Ramsey has fizzed that back to Ward, and yeah he should have controlled it, but if Ramsey keeps it outside the posts, it's not gonna be a goal.

 

You have to do some pretty big mental gymnastics to make that anything but 100% Ward's fault

I said it's his error, and he should have controlled it. I'm just saying, never play backpass on target.

I’m not sure, was Richie Wellens anywhere close?

I was always taught this too to be fair.

Shocking that he did not get behind that, should have at least used the side foot. Goalkeeping basics that is.

True to a certain extent. When a goalkeeper has the ball (unless he kicks with a punt, he needs to ensue his team make the most of their possession.) I think Schmeichel doesn't make the right decision on too many occasions - either from a close pass which result in pressure on player passed too close to goal or a short kick which are not accurate enough. He throws the ball far enough less than he used to, yet he can distribute well - he has a strong throw. 

 

Having said that (including Schmeichel's relatively poor aerial ability) he is a good goalkeeper who adds more with his presence. With an uncertain back four at present, it would not be the right time to make goalkeeper changes which would further disrupt our defence.

I’ve seen this, I’m very rarely in the ground early enough to watch them warm up but this is very evident in the training videos. I actually don’t think it’s necessarily synonymous to ability. The issue with him is that he always wants to distribute the ball fast which often means that his kicking appears poor. The above is my only frustration with him, especially when we are under pressure. I wish he would just hold the ball sometimes and give it a bit more thought.

Oh dear, that's a shocker, bless him.

He is a keeper. He is not Tielemans. The problem is Rodgers is getting our least able players (keeper and our CBs) to do much of the passing to get us out of trouble. If Kasper can kick as well as Tielemans, he would have been playing in midfield.

Yes you always teach goalkeepers to keep behind the ball, When they start sticking out a foot disaster is likely to happen.

 

Let's just hope he learns from it.

[Corky]

People are fooled by how good Ederson is with his feet. Most keepers aren't brilliant footballers who can spray passes around. Schmeichel's long kicking is good and the majority of his short passing fine but when it goes wrong it can be costly.

Thankfully he got those great performances in the bank over the summer. Some England goalies have been pretty broken by that kind of mistake at international level, if I remember correctly.

 

Wasn't Carson one who never really recovered?

Girrit Giggseh until the end of the season.

It's specifically the floated nothing pass to the wide defenders that irks me. It's often too floated, and by the time the player plucks it out of the air, if it's not 10 yards over his head that is, the oppo player is right on them and they're under pressure.

Nothing particularly wrong with his long clearances, but he has to cut out that floated pass.

We know they're going to make a mistake it's just the nature of the job. As you say it's how they react to it that defines them.

Yes Carson never really recovered and I think from memory David James was never quite the same either.

But you have to feel for them it's such an isolated position and you have to be a special person to do it.

 

Danny is such a good keeper that I think he'll put it down to experience and move on.
