Nod.E Posted 17 May 2013 Posted 17 May 2013 if he as such a good big goal kick,how come nine times out of ten it finds the opposition? absolute shit football embaressing to watch! It's a goal kick. Find me one goalkeeper that finds the feet of their players from each goal kick. It does not happen. Speaking as a GK, we are taught to play the percentages. You put it in a decent area. There is no way you can pick a pass. Kasper's huge kicks give us fantastic territorial advantage. And in fact, when he has the ball in his hands he is brilliant at distributing the ball quickly. Often he'll find a man with a quick throw. Sometimes he'll ping a ball to a man in space. Okay, the success rate of that isn't fantastic, but we have scored a number of goals this season from his ability to pick a long ping. That isn't hoof football. It's opportunism, great vision, and incredible execution. Either way, you can not play hoof football with just a GK with a long kick.
MrSpaM Posted 17 May 2013 Posted 17 May 2013 Nothing wrong with my memorey thank you it is difficult arguing with about 6 people at once. He didn't come on here to back up his tweet he responded to somebody who asked him about it, he then relayed what he was told, which he clearly hasn't made up as he was not the first person to claim to have herd this so I don't get what your problem is. Because your saying he didn't post anything on here when he clearly did!
Babylon Posted 17 May 2013 Posted 17 May 2013 we shall not we shall not be HOOFED! Is this all you post?
hesapeepingtom Posted 17 May 2013 Posted 17 May 2013 why not play it out of defence? we play our best football albeit for 5 minute spells when we keep the ball on the deck and pass and move! why cant we do it for 90 minutes? DISCUSS!
Manwell Pablo Posted 17 May 2013 Posted 17 May 2013 Because your saying he didn't post anything on here when he clearly did! I said he made no statement, he posted granted, when he did he used a very important word "i still think" it's true. Hardly as convicting as "Pearson was sacked last night" as the OP of that thread stated who no one has even said a bad word against.

DISCUSS! Ask yourself this: How often does Kasper have the ball in his possession? Not enough to stop us from playing football from a huge number of different situations. An average kick will be won by the opposition in midfield about 50% of the time, so I can take some of his kicks ending up with their keeper. Far less dangerous than losing it in midfield, and sometimes it gives us a 'free' effort on goal. Can only be a positive. His kicks really are a weapon in our armoury. If you expect they will be successful 100% of the time, you're expecting miracles I'm afraid.

I like Kasper but his long kicks are just annoying, most of the time we just gift back possession. Especially when Wood started not being bothered about jumping for headers, whacking them up there was even more pointless. They should be going in a decent area but that's the thing, quite often it goes nowhere near any of our players. It's like he wants to kick it as far as he can, just because he can.
Leicesterpool Posted 17 May 2013 Posted 17 May 2013 Why are people so happy about Pearson staying look how many games we lost between February-April! plus our sloppy football away from home
Mark_w Posted 17 May 2013 Posted 17 May 2013 Why are people so happy about Pearson staying look how many games we lost between February-April! plus our sloppy football away from home Some of us have more sense than to judge a football manager on three months rather than over an entire season.
Libertine Posted 17 May 2013 Posted 17 May 2013 Why are people so happy about Pearson staying look how many games we lost between February-April! plus our sloppy football away from home Look at the amount of games we won August - January.

So you're suggesting he should kick it less hard in to midfield, where there's a good chance it will put us on the back foot? It's much easier for the opposition to win it as they're attacking the ball. The result? We're on the back foot. I'd know - my kicks only reach just over half way and often end with my team having to defend again. At least when we lose it upfront we have the chance to win it back in a positive position for us.
hackneyfox Posted 17 May 2013 Posted 17 May 2013 Some of us have more sense than to judge a football manager on three months rather than over an entire season. That kind of sense was also used when it was decided to keep Peter Taylor after the previous season had ended with a relegation form run.

Why not roll/throw it out to a midfielder?
Libertine Posted 17 May 2013 Posted 17 May 2013 That kind of sense was also used when it was decided to keep Peter Taylor after the previous season had ended with a relegation form run. He inherited a good team and messed up. Pearson has improved us.
Mark_w Posted 17 May 2013 Posted 17 May 2013 That kind of sense was also used when it was decided to keep Peter Taylor after the previous season had ended with a relegation form run. That kind of sense was also used to keep Martin O'Neill in the Leicester job.
hesapeepingtom Posted 17 May 2013 Posted 17 May 2013 i think pearsons tactics would be good for a rugby union team but we play football! id rather kasper rolled it out to the full backs who pass it to the midfield or wings! and retain possesion rather than hoof it lose possesion then try and get it back! boring negative football! which is why in the 2nd half v watford they were all over us!
AJ55 Posted 17 May 2013 Posted 17 May 2013 I'll be really unhappy if he's lost his job, we need stability and he is the best man for the job. We have a young squad who need a good pre-season to prepare for new season so let him get on with preparing.

Why not roll/throw it out to a midfielder? I don't understand why people make comparisons like this For every Peter Taylor there will be another manager that did manage to turn a similar situation around into a succseful season so it's ultimatley a complete fruitless exercise.
Happy Fox Posted 17 May 2013 Posted 17 May 2013 If we can get a better manager in I would get rid is Poyet better though? Imo only marginally.

I don't think there's any use in kicking out for a goal kick or throw in to them, or hitting it over our strikers so it goes straight to their goalkeeper. He could stick to throwing it out or at least kick it towards our strikers or something. When we're under the pressure that we were against Watford what difference does it make whether we kick it to their goalkeeper or the midfield? The end result will probably be the same, there will be some head tennis, they'll probably win it (although at least we'd have a chance if it went to the middle of the pitch rather than their keeper) and they'll have it in their half and build an attack pretty quickly. We need to learn to keep hold of the ball again. The long kicks rarely benefit us.

Hardly as convicting as "Pearson was sacked last night" as the OP of that thread stated who no one has even said a bad word against. I reckon we should just get Bert on the Daddys instead of the HP, maybe a switch from red to brown? I like Kasper but his long kicks are just annoying, most of the time we just gift back possession. Especially when Wood started not being bothered about jumping for headers, whacking them up there was even more pointless. In Kaspers defense, we have scored from it a few times this season, whereas we've very rarely conceded from a goal kick
hackneyfox Posted 17 May 2013 Posted 17 May 2013 That kind of sense was also used to keep Martin O'Neill in the Leicester job. Not at all, he was slated after 8 games, it was never going to end up with him being sacked.
Mark_w Posted 17 May 2013 Posted 17 May 2013 Not at all, he was slated after 8 games, it was never going to end up with him being sacked. Well clearly someone needs to take advantage of the fantastic history section of Foxes Talk. http://www.foxeshistory.co.uk/managerdetails.php?mid=17

We need to learn to keep hold of the ball again. The long kicks rarely benefit us. It's all very good in theory to say we should play it from the back, but the fact is you're always likely to concede chances that way. We've seen it countless times on MOTD and FLS. Frankly, we eliminate that threat and score a few in the process. I'm all for it. It's not as though every move comes from a goal kick. It varies our play and gets us out of danger and in to their half. I'd rather a 50/50 in their half than on the half way. Much more chance to break it up before it becomes a danger to our defence.
leicesterisme Posted 17 May 2013 Posted 17 May 2013 If we can get a better manager in I would get rid is Poyet better though? Imo only marginally. What makes Poyet a better manager may I ask? Both have got their teams promoted from League 1. Both have reached the play offs in the Championship. So I don't know how Poyet is the better manager?
