FFS Kasper (and Stowell!!

[The whole world smiles]

The lack of loyalty and respect to players who have delivered us easily the greatest period in our history is staggering.

 

It was only 10 or so years ago that Kevin Pressman was our number one.  Look how far we have come.

 

Now pick your dummys up, grow a backbone and stop crying like babies every time someome makes an individual mistake or a result doesn't go your way. 

 

Football and life is like that you don't win all the time and sometimes people make mistakes. Take it on the chin it will make you appreciate the good times even more when they come along and maybe you won't come across as spoilt, entitled babies on the internet.

I blame the lack of competition. Human nature that when your comfortable knowing that your place is sealed in the team week in week out you lose focus.

How will dropping him help his confidence?

I dunno. I'm not sure playing him and him dropping clangers will help either. Guy got beat in the air by the joint smallest bloke on the pitch.

Meh. What's done is done. He's not good enough to be snatched by the bigger clubs. Just good enough here.
Blame Kasper all you want (He shares the blame) but how did Pedro got free in that position in the first place?

He didn't. He made an error in coming out - he got beat by the ball being out of his range.

I need to watch again. Perhaps I am being a bit harsh on him, but he needs serious training on crosses. A lot of teams will try take advantage of his hesitancy.

Don't get me wrong - it was a huge error. I just think it was the whereabouts of the ball that defeated him - any player would have beaten him in the air, regardless of their physical stature.

[FLAN]

Get the ball if you come. He was miles off it. He also probably put the defenders off although chilwell was probably still watching the fat pigeon on the touchline rather than watching the game

If he stays on his line he makes an easy save. Coming out so far you've got to make sure you're claiming the ball. He knows he made a mistake and that's that. 

 

Still, best keeper we've had for a very long time. People saying get rid - Any better options?

Bad error for the.winner, but great double save from Morata earlier. 

Thought the cross from Kanté was pretty good and Pedro's movement to dupe Albrighton and untouchable Maguire equally so, but people need a scape goat.

And no one is allowed to say Maguire ever does anything wrong or you get accused of not being a fan.

I think Schmeichel called for it, which is why our defenders turned into statues.

All good, but Schmeichel surely trumps them all. I mean Fülop... really? Nostalgia distorts again.

You cant really have a go at Fulop.

He was our arguably our best player while he played for us. Was a shame we couldn't hang on to him. May he RIP.

I see you are located in Copenhagen.

Most us follow a country that will be taking a lemon or lime in goal to Russia this summer ! 

 

He makes the odd mistake , so what ? He is better than any keep our national team has at present !  Give the Guy a break

He had a bad game, shit happens. Still our best option IMO and I’ll back him to the hilt. He’s saved our ass so many times. He’s having a dip in form and it happens to all players. Get behind him and give him our full support.

How dare you.  Round here we like to ignore years of service and match winning saves and focus on rare howlers.  We don't do it in a "he should have saved that" way we like to get offensive and personal, often using swear words.  Then if anyone defends the player we like to act as if they are being too wishy washy and happy clappy and we accuse them of not being realists.  Go home, snowflake.  X

I don’t necessarily buy into getting rid but we need to buy a young goalkeeper with the real potential of becoming number 1. The problem is Kasper is too comfortable. As an example if Stoke go down buying someone like Jack Butland would really increase the competition - which is non-existent at this point. 

 

Buying somebody with the medium/long term aim of replacing Kasper in the next 18 months should be a priority.

None of this would matter if N'didi did his job and just took a booking when Willian broke away to feed in Morata.

Football isn't about compassion. It's about winning and teams have to keep evolving. 

 

Did United keep Bruce and Pallister for year after year? No, you say thank you and get in a better player. The great managers (whether it be Pasily or Clough or Fergie) are ruthless because they want to keep winning.

 

If any player is consistently costing us games then his position should be looked at, regardless of what he has achieved. Otherwise we're never moving forward.

I thought we were hanging Chilwell for that offence?

I don't think it's fair to conclude that my nationality is affecting my view of Schmeichel. I've been plenty critical of him in the past.

I was not having a go at Fülop, I agree with your sentiment of the time, but he was playing in arguably the worst Leicester team we've seen in decades.

You'd need to have a massive chip on your shoulder to not acknowledge Schmeichel's contribution to the club's recent successes and frankly, any comparison to Fülop who had half a season with us is a bit disrespectful.

Yeah surely if you come you call so the defenders may have left it expecting kasper to catch or punch clear.

This attitude will hold back the progress of the club imo. If we can improve, we should do, regardless of who loses out.

indeed - people dropping the whole 'disrespect' line are full of shit tbh. 

 

it's not disrespectful to expect Kasper to improve on his distribution, stop kicking the ball out 2/3 times a match, stop being so hot-headed, etc. 

 

it's clear he needs to work on those things. we can still all like (maybe even love) Kasper but he has flawed aspects of his game that are costing us points.

 

nobody is suggesting we hang him from the rafters - just that he needs to improve. 

 

there isn't room for sentimentality in football any more apparently - and to some extent I agree - we need to improve and move forward and people will be discarded along the way.

 

we don't need to be ruthless and throw all memories and good will in the bin but we have a right to expect players to either keep progressing with us or we move on.
