Strange that his best performances were against Chelsea and Spurs then.
Not really, although I think Spurs is labouring the point given Krul's performance. Great overhead off the line though.
I'd expect him to do better against teams who keep it on the ground. I'm not knocking him. He'd be one of the first names of the teamsheet if I had my way but then my way wouldn't involve playing this nihilistic football that the manager insists on. Pardew's football doesn't suit good footballers, full stop, no matter what position they play.
