Recommended Posts

It's been tried all season and we haven't scored from it once

the nod down to nuge was from a kasper kick was it not? in the norwich game

I think it will happen to be honest or Schmeichel will actually score through the bounce out doing the defender, Beckford and the keeper. I enquired about Kasper Schmeichel scoring for us at any time and in any competition. I got the reply from William Hill "You can have 100/1 for him to score any time this season or next for Leicester City :)

Hobbs and Chester caught onto this very quickly.

I saw Hobbs run back to mark Becks several times when Kasper got a goal kick.

I thought it'd get us a few goals at the start of the season but hasn't really done much. Doesn't help that Kasper's distribution is getting worse by the game.

yeah what's up with that? it was quality at the start of the season. you'd hardly ever see him kick it straight out.

Even if nothing comes from it, the fact you can't be offside from a goalkick means Becks can stand on the edge of their area and even if he fails to win a header, we're 50 yards further forward than most would be after a goal kick.

It has (nearly) worked plenty of times this season.

A better tactic than waiting and kicking it to the 'target man' on the wing, who inevitably misses the header to concede a throw-in. *cough* Gallagher lol

Schmeichel's big kick is a bloody good thing to have in the toolbox.

Yeah, it doesn't work everytime, but so what.

His distribution seems to have gone a bit errant recently but that's probably because he's got a bit too confident with it. Most 'keeper we've had in the past would just blast it up to about the half way line where it becomes a battle for possession anyway.

lol I like Beckford but it'll never work consistently cos he's got the touch of Ultra meeting a teen blonde.

Wut? His touch is immense.

Even if it doesn't work a lot of the time it does force the opposition defence to play deep.

that's not necessarily a good thing.

Can't argue with this really.

I think he needs to put a little bit more thought into when he executes it though. There was a moment on Saturday when it made so much more sense to just keep hold of the ball and regroup but instead he went for the big kick and ended up shanking it out for a throw and putting us back under pressure.

On the whole though, it is a good thing to have in our team.
