midds Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Harper definitely needs to be third choice. Let the young lads fight it out for #1 and #2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 He tried to play from the back against City on boxing day, he tried it noticeably less after that. Harper's kicking used to be great, when Robson would rotate Harper and Given it was one of the main "Pros" for Harper. Now it's pretty poor. His kicking did spiral, but it's not quite as bad as some make out imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harper was his first choice till he got injured, then it stayed with Given - minus the odd cup game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 2nd choice keeper for the 2nd best international team in the world, but not good enough for us? Jesus. Will the Harper love-in die already, he's been here so long so that means he 'deserves' to be no.1 tripe does my head in. Put Harper no.2, sell/loan Forster. Done and done move on.

Ronaldo Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I must say, if Krul's playing for Holland it's going to be impossible for Pards to keep him on the bench behind Harper. Good stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I remember our keeper crisis under Roeder (funnily enough, when Krul got his first game) and in the subsequent games, Harper played despite being obviously knacked and Damage Ramage had to take our goal kicks.
