Schmeichel said: “Of urse you feel for him. He’s en fantastic in their first ree games.

“I don’t know Liverpool’s yle exactly but I think they courage the keeper to take ances to keep possession, e Ederson does for nchester City.

“When you do that you ve to accept mistakes are metimes made, just as with outfield players. The only difference with goalkeeper­s is when you do make an error nine-and-a-half times out of 10 it gets punished.

“I do feel for him but you could see afterwards he didn’t take any chances again.”

Schmeichel (above) signed a new five-year deal this week and hopes England World Cup star and Foxes team-mate Harry Maguire is ready to do the same.

He added: “I hope Harry signs but I don’t want to put pressure on anyone. But if he feels it’s something he wants to do then obviously we would be delighted.”
