Kasper taking the piss

What do you do when the ball is on the edge of the box as a keeper for a free kick?

 

I'm interested to hear what the experts in the thread would have done differently?

if you concede the same type of goal time and time again it's something you are doing wrong, if 1000s of people are screaming he's too far over as Mata lined up to take it can see it the coaches should

[GingerrrFox]

He's a good keeper but his inability to save free kicks is becoming an issue. As long as it's on target it's a goal because he stands too far over and doesn't move his feet quick enough if it gets over the wall. 

 

He's good but not irreplaceable. To be honest; Pickford, Butland, Lossl and Pope would all improve us. I fancy us going for Lossl if Huddersfield end up going down either this season or next. 

[Jimmy]

Matt Ryan at Brighton has played really well too

[peterborofox]

He's a good keeper but will never be world class due to faults like this.

 

Both me and my two mates said virtually at same time 'this is in this ' before Mata took it.

 

So poor positioning and he dived with his wrong arm. 

 

I also partially blame him for the amount of corner goals we concede. He doesn't catch enough in the air. 

 

How many times do you see him pick a ball out the air? Not many

Sure I read somewhere today that 9 goals have been scored direct from free kicks in the prem this season and 3 of those have been conceded by Kasper. 

 

In my opinion he has too many in the wall and relies on the players too much to block the ball. He can't see it until the ball is coming over the top of the wall and by that point it's too late to get across his goal. 

 

He needs to either put less men in the wall so that he can see the ball clearer or from that distance when we concede a free kick right on the edge drop the wall back 2 or 3 yards further & it makes it almost impossible to get it up and down.

Cool dude. Can even see a newcastle fan clapping him

Yeah i had a feeling mata would score. And coutinho when he took his free kick. But tbf they are both class at free kicks. I do wonder about kaspers positioning as well tho..

Come on then, if you want Schmeichel gone who do you want to replace him?

 

Actually surprised people want him out.

 

 

spot on.

Bit of over reaction by some imo. Be careful what you wish for. Seem to remember he was one of the players people were most worried about losing last summer . Maybe if we didn't concede so many free kicks in that area . . . .

As a keeper I wouldn't have as many players in the wall, maybe 3, possibly 4 at a push but he always seems to block his view, or put too many players in the wall then has to stand too far over, which, as a shorter keeper only being 6'1", he doesn't have the reach to make up for it getting back over. I'm surprised we haven't seen him improve on it over time though. He has few weaknesses but this one stands out massively.

I think it's his height that does him, if he's a few inches taller he probably gets a touch on that yesterday.

 

I don't think Mata gets nearly enough credit for the ability to get that over the wall and under the bar. I think the fact people already have a view of Kasper and free kicks he can't really win if he concedes haha

Nice to hear a keepers take on it. I get what you mean on however you plan it there is a flaw. What level did you play at?

Only youth level locally, my highlight was winning the Tamworth league cup at The Lamb! haha

 

Having spent a lot of time going to specialist goalkeeping training and playing the position for 9 or 10 years. I feel I probably have a better understanding of the position than people that haven't played the role.

 

Theres probably fellow keepers that disagree with me though

So you agree that you were wrong and he has more than one strength.

 

Besides Shot stopping is not a non saving aspect.

 

But I will conceed he does have weaknesses and one of them is he is not commanding when dealing with crosses also his kicking is wildly inconsistant but I'm glad he does have some weakness because without them there is not a snowball in hell's chance he would still be here, he would be playing for a top European club without any doubt. His strengths far outway his weaknesses.

 

I was never saying he didn't have weaknesses just arguing with your two points that 1. He only has one strength. And 2. We don't have a good keeper at the club.

 

And you didn't answer me which keeper you would relaistically bring in to replace him who would be a significant improvement?

To be honest I can’t be arsed with this on Xmas Eve. 

 

I like Kasper; I’d like him to improve on his weaknesses. 

[M0901]

Kasper is a top goalkeeper overall. If you look at the every other number 1 in the prem, he's top 8, no problem at all.

 

The best thing about it is, he came to us in the championship, and his progress has been steady but he's a much better goalkeeper than he was. 

 

We're very lucky to have him. I can't think of many goalkeepers who'd come to LEICESTER CITY, who are as good if not better than him.

Merry Christmas tossers!

Too right, sat in the West Stand, I said to @Rushden fox, this will be a goal to Kasper's left, and got 'accused' of being a Red. I'm not, but it was inevitable. Good to meet lots of nice people, and to help shut the constant moaning up from the guy with the loud nasal bleat sat behind us.

You may have made life better for us moving forward..that was one of his quieter days... cheers.

People like that haven't a clue - you just have to say something cutting and indirect and the job gets done.

[brendanmcgovern1988]

I've always said a team should try not using a wall and just have two players to charge down the ball...from 25 yards out or more but for people to slag him off is a joke...worth his weight in gold in the dressing room and on the pitch!

[CanadianFan]

I noticed that Mr. Moss took long strides and paced out the position of the wall and, instead of stepping back a yard or so in front of players edging forward, put his white marker line on the ground behind them and made the stand behind it. In truth, I think this is exactly what should be done to get the wall the right distance, but why on earth does it have to be a match against Leicester when a referee finally decides to do it properly? I’ll be watching Mr. Moss in future games to see if he does this every time (I doubt it). It seems like only a week or so ago that I remember the Leicester players getting mad as hell because the opposition wall was only about 8 yards away and the referee simply gesticulated “sorry....get on with it”. The inconsistency is so frustrating.

Me too mate. if you had put that originally I never would have felt the need to argue with you. But in my honest opinion there is a big difference between 'i like Kasper but I'd like him to improve on his weaknesses and we don't have a good goalkeeper at the club and Kasper is only good at one thing which you originally stated. But it's been a pleasure to help change your mind. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[Stinkenzo]

Who do people think we are that they want us to get rid of Schmeichel?

Erm.

 

I haven’t changed mind.

 

He doesnt command his 6 yd area and is making many many mistakes this season.

 

Sadly another clanger to add to the list at Watford today.

 

Not being able to drop him for lack of a viable alternative on the books is a joke really.

 

Thanks for you kind wishes.

 

Happy New Year to you and yours.

He’s taking the piss lately with his shot-stopping.

Not surprised you have come on here after a loss. You have always struck me as someone who would rather has his negative attitude towards players proved right then watch his team win.

 

I'l ask you for a 3rd and final time who would you sign who we could realisticaly get whose a improvement on kasper.

[Bert]

You set your wall up to block the free kick. The ball went straight over Maguire's head (because he didn't even jump, watch it back) for Mata's goal.

A small point to pick you up on...

 

On the mata free kick he did NOT dive with the wrong arm.

 

A goalkeeper in this scenario (ball going high to the left) has more reach with his RIGHT hand due to his body shape as he dives.

 

Vice versa youd go with your left hand high right.

 

If youd have kept before, youd be taught that (or should be).

Was thinking the same. How many players could beat Kasper from a dead ball 30 yards plus out. It's almost like the wall or so many in the wall makes it harder for him to save a shot on target.
