nufc4eva Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 nope. Krul had a good game when he came on. Young players will make mistakes but you have to deal with that. He looks ,more imposing than harper looked all last season. Harper is totally shit deal with it. Krul is young and may turn out shit but at least he seems to come for the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 The difference between harper and krul is harper freezes on his line and krul comes out and wins that ball, kicking looks better and he is more agile. Alright one game b ut both keepers had a half each and I know who I would prefer already and it aint harper. I want the keeper to come off his line and grab it. With harper he is always on his line never seems to move. On crosses he is shocking. For the record Krul came out at least 3 times and won balls in the air that harper would not have even been off his line for Aye, and twice the ball was nearly in the back of the net! In fact, one time it was! The first cross and the final cross he faced he had difficulty against. The other half dozen he was fine with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Exactly. He dealt well with it only being what a couple of games for us. Harper has habits he will never get out of. However Krul is still raw and has a lot of potential by the looks of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Harper isn't a bad keeper tbh, gets a lot of unfair criticism. Go back a a year and many on here thought he was one of the better Keepers in the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 His kicking is shit, never commands his area and he looks very lethargic when diving for a shot. He is a 2nd rate keeper and always will be. I thought he would be ok when given went but does not look like he can handle the pressure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Not at all. I like harper as a bench player but he is not a number one and would rather place faith in youth. You did watch harper static on his line until shola booted him in the head all first half didn't you ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Can't believe Krul's getting a few criticisms aimed at him after that performance. Even if he does have weaknesses, which is obvious at his age, he's not worse than Harper. I'd start him regularly now a) because he'll iron out those weaknesses in time, whereas Harper won't, and b) it'll increase our chances of keeping him long-term.

nufc4eva Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 And p.s. harpers kicking is shit, like givens was and both never commanded their area. I saw give from the moment he signed and him and harper have never commanded their area. Like david james, van der sar, reina etc. A keeper is not just there to save the shots and boot it up field. They have a part to play in the tactical game also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Its 45mins served on pure adrenaline, so I'm not getting carried away yet, but it was promising. Question is, can he be consistent? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordiekev Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 yip, harper is s*** sorry should have said that first. You have a short memory, when Given was injured before Keegan pissed off, Harps owned the the goal mouth and I would have kept him there.... Steve has been fantastic for us and put up for a long time playing second fiddle.. Krul is a fantastic young keeper and has always impressed me since his arrival. Regardless who is in between the posts we should thank our lucky stars that we have a choice, now get off their case as niether of them put a foot wrong today..

Ronaldo Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Harper played well under Shearer although before that looked lethargic, granted. Harper has played 5 bad games for us in his entire career here, the criticism aimed at him is pretty unfair to say the least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 We're lucky that we have: Harper Krul Forster Soderberg looks ok, but think he still has some ways to go to get up to scratch Jak Alnwick could be a huge prospect, but he's way too young to be judged.

David Icke - Son of God Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Soderberg and Alnwick have barely hit puberty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Not sure about Forster and Soderberg, Alnwick is highly rated and England international for whatever age he is now, U17,U18? but nowhere near the first team, doubt he's even close to the reserves, Max Johnson is probably ahead of him.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Soderberg and Alnwick have barely hit puberty. Soderberg is 19 Alnwick is 16 Soderberg has looked good at times, but at other times looked a bit suspect, but he's young and has some great people to learn from. Not sure about Forster and Soderberg, Alnwick is highly rated and England international for whatever age he is now, U17,U18? but nowhere near the first team, doubt he's even close to the reserves, Max Johnson is probably ahead of him. Max Johnson's website always makes me laugh: http://www.maxjohnson.net/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
