Mads Hermansen

[Haywood_6]

Very impressed with him. Very calm, good distribution and made some good saves.

Great debut, Championship version of Ederson.

 

Defending corners is a team job, we have had trouble for 2 years Mads isn't going to solve it on his own.

I do get your point, it is part of the team to defend corner.

I really struggle to see why we can not put players on both posts when we have been so poor at defending corners.

Think we've actually manage to sign a goalkeeper worse at commanding his box at set pieces. Looked utterly lost for several corners.

Hamers corners we're pure filth though. Proper delivery 🍆

[eblair]

Very good. Cleared a corner with a punch, will undoubtedly be his weakest attribute 

 

But if he kicks well and saves shots in very happy

Christ. His first game and you're already at him. In all honestly the defenders should deal with it. He just clears everything up

Fills me with confidence which we never had in a keeper last season

That save onto the woodwork

He’s a proper player, he’ll do really well here. Good start.

Can’t agree as he was at fault for their goal? His shot stopping afterwards was incredible though. Not sure commanding box is something you can teach or instinct? 
 

he will be a really good keeper for us overall though 

Really? Wilf missed his header. Mads had no chance - he made 2 absolutely crucial saves at crucial times in the game. Ward in goal and we definitely lose MOM with Malididi as they both changed the game. KDH as well of course. 2 beautifully taken goals

[lee7]

Nothing he could've done for their goal.

Played brilliant throughout.

[Buzzell]

Very good performance. That save onto the bar was brilliant.

[Chico1958]

He's a Goalkeeper. He's bound to make a few blunders throughout the season.

 

I'm still not sure about the positions he takes however, he is working the system Enzo wants

 

Today a competent performance and that tip on to bar  was a Goal saver to be fair.

First impressions and varying opinions but OTT reactions deservedly should be questioned.

 

I think Mads’ ceiling is a lot higher than any of our other keepers, as others stated even with a larger Iversen we’ve looked very weak on corners….Kasper wasn’t great but looked less exposed when had Morgan/Huth etc in front of him.

[Fox92]

Worries me a bit at set pieces but aside from that a good start.

 

Better than Ward and Iversen, granted that's not hard.

[Mark_w]

Can't see us keeping hold of him that long, but looks like he can play this style of football without giving me constant panic attacks so I like him.

[Uncle Monty]

Saw a very kasperesque starfish save. Lovely stuff.

[FrankieADZ]

first time in a while since ive felt comfortable with a LCFC keeper and footwork, 

 

£5mil looks like a bargain, the guy is different gravvy

I thought that it was a perfectly reasonable opinion.  I should have probably just walked by andt tutted to myself but I do hate this kind of self-righteous censorship.  

 

Personally, I have yet to see him play so I have no opinion but I'm pleased to hear that he played well and I agree that he likely has a lot of potential.

[ARTY_FOX]

Made a couple if good saves and doesn't fill me with dread any time the ball is near him. 

 

I'd consider it a win already in last season anyway tbf 

[LCFCJohn]

Mixed bag but he’s a young lad in a new country and league so promising signs once he settles in.

 

Shot stopping was good but I’m not sure there were any saves that you wouldn’t expect a competent keeper (ahem Ward) to make. 
 

Distribution ok but did boot the ball out a couple of times Kasper style. And on other occasions looped it out and put pressure on the full back to win it. Sweeping was very good though. 
 

Commanding of the box was very mixed, also like Kasper. I thought he was poor for the goal (not just him). It never looks great when a keeper dives after the ball is in the back of the net. Then got an easy catch from a corner soon after and looked a bit more confident and won one with a good punch. First half he looked dodgy as f*** from their set pieces.

 

To be fair he seemed a lot like Kasper in many ways so that’s a positive and a compliment!

Iversen actually had a high number of high claims which helped

I agree but I also thought Hamer’s delivery was first class today. Don’t think too many in this division will put as good a ball in as him

He did, he also had a high number of passing the ball straight out of play.

[LeePhilpottsBaldSpot]

Bloody impressive debut. We'd have lost 3-0 with Ward.

 

Early days but on first Impressions he looks like an excellent signing.
