Mowen Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Get the ball, give it away. Been the same for weeks and weeks. Vent your frustration at Pardew, not Krul. Mentioned it in the match thread but noticed today how little the defenders offer for it. Need to get the full backs pulling very wide and dropping deep to open the pitch up when he's distributing and to give him specific short options.

Ronaldo Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Needs to get it sorted and quick. Needs to start throwing it. more of a team thing than a krul thing. That he can't kick a ball properly? Aye, right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toondra Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 and he takes so much time to kick the ball evrytime, even when we were down in the score. how many possible attacks are annihilated by these long balls? the kickplay of krul is really awful to watch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not been at his best recently. Seriously guys.... In our last six games he has kept three clean sheets. He was a little bit out of position for Gerrards goal at Anfield, and had a poor game against Fulham. Apart from that he´s been very good. He has made very few mistakes this season, probably less than anyone in the premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthiGeordie Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I wouldn't say recently he was very good against Manchester United. He was responsible two of our goals. Saturday was bad day at the office for him as is for many others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Only real gripe is his kicking, it really is shocking and isn't getting much better. I used to think Harper taking forever over every kick, shifting everyone over one side of the pitch and then kicking it stragiht to Routledge on the opposite side was bad enough. The hit and hope is obviously to do with Pardew, but it doesn't help having players like Williamson and Simpson that are scared of the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hit and hope is obviously to do with Pardew, but it doesn't help having players like Williamson and Simpson that are scared of the ball. What hit and hope is do with Pardew? The fact we play a lot of long balls under his tenure, players like Jonas, Cabaye, HBA, Santon, Guthrie get rendered useless by this tactic. We've had games where we have played some really nice stuff, parts of QPR, 30 mnutes or so vs Fulham, Villa away, Blackburn home. But we've also had a lot of games, I would argue more, where we seem to favour hoofing it forward and Pardew has even admitted using those tactics in certain games (Man U it worked, QPR it didn't). I would like to think if S.Taylor was fit and we had a right back that showed for the ball and didn't punt it anywhere under no pressure. We would actually try and play from the back a bit more. Colo and Santon are comfortable in possession and I would hope if the whole back 4 was, Krul might start rolling/throwing it out and AP would encourage this style of play.
