He's been great for us, but if we want to be a consistent top team, we need a consistent top keeper, and Kasper simply isn't. Look at that 3rd goal today, it was a pissed Sunday League attempt at a save. Time to get Iversen back from Preston and give the lad a proper shot at the top, he's earned it from what I've seen. Mind you I've been calling for Kasper's head for bloody years, not a patch on Banks, Shilton, Wallington, Flowers - or Arphexad! Kasper stars in adult movies too?!? Wait until I tell the wife this one ….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dames Posted 26 December 2021 Share Posted 26 December 2021 Not improved a single weakness in the 10 years he’s been here. No point changing keeper until the coaching set up changes, they won’t improve their game when we’ve got substandard coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Bez Posted 26 December 2021 Share Posted 26 December 2021 3 hours ago, HankMarvin said: Did you listen to the game on the radio? Or watch it? The 3rd goal he parried out right into opposition player. The 6th he lets a player score a tap in a yard in front of him in the 6 yard box after just conceding a almost identical corner 20 minutes before. No one is asking him to be Bruce Grobbelaar but to command your 6 yard Box would be nice. Is it too much to expect a goalkeeper to also organise defenders for set pieces? Whilst the the defending is shambolic, to have the worst record in the league for conceding set pieces the GK also has to share responsibility for this. Half a season played clearly Indicates it’s not just a blip in form. We don't know what is happening behind the scenes. The defence may be following strict instructions from the coaching staff, rather than from Kasper. Randomly blaming the keeper with no knowledge of what is happening is bizarre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr Weller Posted 26 December 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 26 December 2021 So the keeper who won the league, kept us in the cup final last year and has largely led the team for years should have gone years ago? Some people are utterly unreasonable 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is an interesting point. On one hand I don’t think someone with Kaspers character would accept this standard from corners if he knew how to sort it himself. But conversely how long have we maintained zonal marking despite it not working for a while. Like today why are amartey and Vestergaard not marking Dias and Laporte? Whilst the runners were doing their best to give away a pen at every opportunity. Do the players have any input on how they defend corners because I couldn’t imagine schmeichel and evans being happy with a zonal system. I think the zonal system would suit a non confrontational player as well as it’s easy to pass blame if someone scores not in your area which could explain a lot about this group but then again maybe I’m over thinking it 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 26 December 2021 Share Posted 26 December 2021 I think Schmeichel wants to come for crosses and get involved but if the management and coaching staff think differently then he can't do much about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers would be laughed out of the sport. We constantly blame the defence but at some point you also have to look at the keeper and maybe a keeper with a different approach is needed 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getin Posted 26 December 2021 Share Posted 26 December 2021 The best and the worst of Kasper. Amongst the top five for shot stopping but alone as the worst in the PL for defending his box or frankly organising his defence (to protect him from his weaknesses).Which are not only obvious but exploited by the opposition game after game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the managers and coaches we’ve had in his time at the club didn’t want him to come for crosses then?

escape2victory Posted 27 December 2021 Share Posted 27 December 2021 Contract runs out in 2023, think it would be logical to part ways then. Been a brilliant keeper for us and will be/is a legend of the club, but I think makes sense for all parties at the end of next season to go our seperate ways. What a bargain though, £1m and to be our number 1 for potentially 12 seasons, remarkable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 27 December 2021 Share Posted 27 December 2021 He’s been incredible for us. As a shot stopper he’s one of the best in the world. As a leader he’s been integral to the team spirit that has brought unprecedented success for Leicester City. But unfortunately, right now, his one major weakness (an inability to come for crosses and corners) is being majorly exploited to the detriment of our team. Is he finished? Not by a long shot. Would I be against giving Ward a go to see if the defensive record improves and set pieces stop being our Achilles heel? I’m probably in the ‘why not?’ camp now.

Father Ted Posted 27 December 2021 Share Posted 27 December 2021 I think he needs a couple of games out. Sadly, if he was dropped, he would boot off, cry a lot and turn the dressing room sour (if it isn’t already). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's true that Stowell is overseeing set-pieces and has done since Pearson's tenure then I reckon the managers are happy with the set-up.

Eskay Posted 27 December 2021 Share Posted 27 December 2021 I'm not hating on him. I love the guy. I'm just saying I'd expect a pro keeper to have a chance on at least 1 of 7 pens. I think Danny Ward would based on what I've seen. The parry out yesterday was really bad goalkeeping. And yes he made a really good save. But at that point it's already 4 nil. The damage has been done. The one thing I don't understand is after all that's gone on.....why not have a couple of defenders on the post? It would have stopped at least 1 goal yesterday and a few others this season. Just go back to basics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper is a legend, wears his heart on his sleeve for sure and has helped us no end throughout the years. I just hope he's going through a phase of shitness as he has before.
