Lillehamring Posted 17 July 2023 Share Posted 17 July 2023 1 hour ago, An Sionnach said: Many a time , Kasper had his view blocked at corners by 6-4 defenders crowding him. Its a tactic you will always use against shorter goalkeepers. Iverson is obviously less vulnerable. Kasper often opted to stay on his line rather than go for the ball but he had genius reactions. That's one element for sure - but for the sake of an inch or two, there still remains so much more to a goalkeeper than his height - he's 6'1", not 5'6". As others have pointed out, there are many top keepers who were shorter than the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ward was better at claiming crosses too. Ward also has decent distribution, the problem is we rarely got to see it as he was too busy picking the ball out of the net all the time.

JimJams Posted 17 July 2023 Share Posted 17 July 2023 People are aware that a keepers reach is more important than his height? I have it on good authority that Mads has abnormally long arms and so outreaches any keeper up to a foot taller than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Mads is taller than Shilton (6ft-1.83) and same as Banks then (6ft 1 inch -1.85m). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 12 and 5'11". Parents height is used as part of a formula for calculating predicted height which will be why it is included. Unfortunately early growth isn’t predictive of where they will end up, we had a lad who was just under 6 foot with hairy arms and legs at 12 years old, Man U came in for him and the club rejected it, 6 years later he was released at U18s at a very similar height. Unfortunately what all these things overlook is the most important aspect, how good they actually are with a ball at their feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxinNotts Posted 18 July 2023 Share Posted 18 July 2023 6' 1" is fine. It's about as short as I'd like to see for our keeper, but it's still acceptable imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stopharage Posted 18 July 2023 Share Posted 18 July 2023 He wears really tall studs though so his in-goal height is more like 6’3”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
