The Prophet Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Krul still has improvements to make but he's a superior keeper to Harper, pretty poor if Pardew benches him as soon as the latter recovers, especially now we're all but safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 He's got a few games under his belt this season. I feel comfortable with him in goal. Good job tonight! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 showed tonight that he's the best keeper at the club. excellent solid display. Surely he can't be dropped for Blackpool after keeping a clean sheet against Man U? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 showed tonight that he's the best keeper at the club. excellent solid display. Surely he can't be dropped for Blackpool after keeping a clean sheet against Man U? one game doesn't show anyone is the best at anything and earlier on this season he looked quite shaky. played well tonight mind though it was a game in which he really had one very good save to make, 2 or 3 that you'd expect most keepers to make and the rest were crosses that he was never really challenged for.

Thought he played well, but Maddy is right. He's very inconsistent. Wouldn't be overjoyed if he was #1, tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Was waiting for the net to bulge when the ball headed towards Hernandez, like. A really top save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 He hasn't played anywhere near enough games to be branded "too inconsistent." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Was waiting for the net to bulge when the ball headed towards Hernandez, like. A really top save. looking forward to see it again, seemed like it needed a very strong hand to keep it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 He hasn't played anywhere near enough games to be branded "too inconsistent." or good enough to be no.1....anyway he shows his incosistency within games. this was proabably his first game when the defence has had an idea of when he's coming or going throughout the game,maybe due to the sort of game man utd play.

Keefaz Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 He hasn't played anywhere near enough games to be branded "too inconsistent." Eh? He's played nearly half our games this season hasn't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 The fact he gets down faster than an arthritis patient and doesn't wait ten minutes to distribute the ball makes him superior to Harper, even if he does have a lot to learn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 He hasn't played anywhere near enough games to be branded "too inconsistent." Eh? He's played nearly half our games this season hasn't he? It's not like people are writing him off. He's 22. I'm pleased with what I'm seeing, even if it doesn't live up to the jizztastic expectations of Palermo. Just needs some more experience under his belt. Like Keef, wouldnt' be best pleased if he's first choice between the sticks in 6 months' time.

wormy Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 If he brings a bit more steadiness to his game then yes. But if he's the same standard he's been this season, then no. Which isn't knocking him, like I say, being a slightly unsteady 'keeper at 22 is no mean feat. To Prophet, I wouldn't be comfortable with either. I guess I'm just hard to please Out of the two though, I'd still have to say Harper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 That one handed save was unreal. Reminded me why I rated him so highly in his early days. Had a great game tonight for me. Cleaned everything up nicely in the penalty area and was distributing the ball with throws like he used to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I've been harsh on him at times this season, but he really stepped up to the plate tonight. His save in the first minute set the tone for the game. Tremendous effort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It look liked it'd dipped up, but when a GK was given I assumed it was just the way Rooney hit it. That's a cracking save too, considering I thought it'd hit the back of the net.
