There are polls after each game over on FoxesTalk (see the links above) that determine the man of the match (James is currently winning yesterday nights game).

A win earns 10 points, 2nd place is 6 and 3rd is 4 points and anyone with a vote gets 1.


Here is the table as it stands (still one, possibly two more games to go);

Schmeichel has been top class, he´s going to be as good as his dad if he carrys on.

 

what do you know? ... he's not contemplating playing a cloned Dolph Lundgren in 'Rocky VII - Balboa On A Zimmer' is he?

 

...playing as well as he is at the moment

 

His distribution is what he's renowned for. He probably has more assists than any other keeper. But it is frustrating when the balls goes straight to the opposition keeper.

 

his distribution is top!!

 

I'd say he's renowned for his shot stopping. IMHO he gives the ball away far too often.

 

Kasper's distribution is top class

 

I wouldn't say it's top class, but it's definitely a contributing factor as to why he's one of best goalkeepers ever to grace this division.

 

Arguably the best in the country IMO

 

Too many kicks go through to the other goalkeeper for me.

You wanna keep a keen eye on Pepe Reina. Just about every kick and throw in goes to where he's aiming. He could be a midfielder if he wanted



Like I said, his distribution isn't bad. It's just not that great like his distribution and leadership is IMO.

 

Difference is he had Luis Suarez up front for movement. Kasper doesnt

 

Nah, doesn't make a difference.

 

At times Kaspers distribution is excellent. An angled speedy back pass to him he often slices. Have to agree about Reina. The one benefit that Reina has over Kasper is that Liverpool do tend to leave Suarez forward when they defend a corner whilst we pull everybody back. Gives Reina a quick out, whilst Kasper generally has to wait a short while before delivering.
