He most certainly is a beautiful man, and I've had the pleasure of meeting him while he was wearing nothing but his underwear 

How was his distribution..??

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

For heavens sake; how rediculous! He's a good keeper, but not having the best of seasons.

So should the7th best keeper in the world be doing better than he is currently? 

[BigGibbo]

The 7th best keeper in the world has earned a spell on the sidelines.

[Guest Mickyblueeyes]

That moment at the start of the second half where he couldn’t even ease the pressure by keeping the ball in play. About 4 kicks, 3 of which went out. 
 

He shouts, he doesn’t lead. He isn’t a captain. He just isn’t. Bournemouth. Spurs last year and the form this. Shouts, doesn’t lead, good keeper, not great.

[Nobbyburton]

Absolute legend of the club and as a shot stopper I can’t say I’ve seen much better but I’m so baffled by the way he deals with set pieces. It’s just a complete mess and you can see how he makes defenders nervous.

 

Also have to say I’m so sick of his antics every time we concede a goal, where he either blames someone else or acts like there has been a foul. He was absolutely embarrassing today when he pretended he had an injury, even mentioned it again in the post match interview.

Ward could prove to not be good enough, he could prove himself to be another Martinez, but its time to find out

A poor dribbler and failed to come out of his box! 

[Always Next Year]

On Kaspers  performances in the last few games WARD should be given every opportunity 

[Claridge]

Absolute disaster in the air, distribution is terrible and can not organise the defence for toffee. Fantastic at one on ones, but woeful at everything else. Time to give Ward his chance

[Tielemans63]

I still think he's our best keeper but I really question whether he's the right man to be our captain. I just wonder if he's too fiery. The players loved Big Wes because he was a calming influence. I wonder if Kasper's style is a bit too confrontational.

 

The problem is, who do you give it to? Jonny looks like he's always playing at 70% fitness and that he's just one overstretch away from another few months out.....and then there's no-one? That's probably the bigger problem here, a lack of leaders and arguably a lack of character.

[Fox92]

Conceding from set pieces is a collective issue not just the goalkeepers. Kasper would be helped out if we actually marked opposition players and had defenders who can actually win the ball.

[Max Power]

Legendary player but summer it’s time for a new keeper. He’s always been nailed to his line and had erratic distribution but other errors are creeping in now.

conversely we wouldn't be setting up 2 yards out if we had a keeper that would deal with balls across his 6 yard box

Agreed it'd be great to have a keeper come out and claim, Martinez was so good at it today, but that still doesn't take away from the fact overall we defend them so poorly.

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

Their second goal was just beyond the back stick well in the 6 yard box. In my day that's the keepers territory all day long. But Kasper throughout his LCFC tenure never comes for anything. It's like he decided as a 20 year old keeper that crosses were a weak part of his game. So best not bother. Ever heard of coaching??

I think that’s the problem - Stowell has coached all of our keepers to stay at home.

Stowell is very tight with Kasper I doubt he does anything that makes Kasper uncomfortable, he should have been replaced by a much better keepers coach years ago

 Yeah I agree…. All part of the same issue.

Kasper is rightly a legend, but is now a powerful piece of the furniture. The measures taken to keep him during his prime are now hindering us as he deteriorates.

this is where the manager needs to have courage. Look at Brighton, Potter came in with an established number 1 in Ryan but he decided Sachez was better so he bombed him out and Ryan wasn't even playing nearly as badly as Kasper is for us right now

Agree again. It’s a really hard conversation for BR to have given Kasper’s legendary status / relationship with owners / influence with the players / captain’s armband etc etc…. But they’re the conversations that earn the £10m/pa

[Mike Oxlong]

Given how shit he is in the air with his hands what odds on him scoring a goal with his head when he goes up in the opposition box for a corner - somewhere around the 5000-1 mark ? 

[WalMelton]

Excellent, I used to help out with my kids teams. Look after all the football stuff in my garage.. including goals. Got an award one year.  Basically looking after the clubs equipment. Best goalkeeper…😂😂

[Angus Scott]

7th best goalie in the world? He's not even 7th best in the Premier League
