Mads Hermansen

This is exactly it. Maresca's preferred style of play demands the goalkeeper can step up and effectively become a central defender when we're in possession. To do that, he needs to be very comfortable on the ball. Neither Iversen nor Ward fit the bill in that respect, but Hermandsen definitely does - he's known for being excellent with the ball at his feet as well as being a shot stopper.

At least one of Ward or Iversen will go, possibly both. I feel for Iversen as he's been patient and did ok when he came in last season, but he's not a ball-playing keeper so therefore is not likely to feature under Maresca.
Apparently he's a good stopper but not overly tall, sounds like Kasper! Not so good on crosses

On the Radio Leicester podcast yesterday they had a Danish journalist on talking about him. He said that while claiming crosses is not one of Hermansen's major strengths, it isn't really a weakness either - ie, he's not amazing at it but he's not bad either - just ok. I can live with that if he's brilliant in other areas.

He will end up a failure no doubt. It’s the Leicester way!!

Ward isn't any sort of keeper except a bad one. Can't see anybody paying money for him or even paying half the wages we pay him if he went on a free. Hope there's not too long left on his contract - if he sits it out, little chance of employment after that I would have thought.

We need to shop Ward to the Saudi’s.

His contract doesn’t run out till 2025🤬🤦🏻‍♂️
 
Where do Mads and Daniel stand in the Danish National set up?
I assume Kasper is Number 1, Daniel number 2 and Mads up and coming number 3?
