Tooj Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 We really need to sort out Krul's distribution though. Is it tactically or just him doing it of his own accord? Whatever it is it is our biggest reason now for lack of ball retention. If you watch now most of our defenders try and pass it out yet as soon as it goes back to Krul he just hits it long. Same for goal kicks too. Yet whenever I've saw him play for Holland he tends to be a lot more composed and plays it out short a lot more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Spurs put a lot of pressure at us and we had nothing to solve that. Always a problem for us. Saying that. Krul has definitely not been as good as last season. Definitely though he would take the second goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye he put us under pressure with some of his distribution today. He does in just about every game, and has done since he has been first-choice. Seriously annoying. Why can't we actually have a keeper who is good at distributing the ball? I'm sure when he first came into the team it was much better than it was. It's scary how the same thing has happened to Given, Harper and Krul when it comes to this. Although I think part of it is due to Pardew telling him to do so. I mean we can all remember how long Harper used to take when it came to goal-kicks etc, yet when Keegan came in you noticed a difference immediately as he was telling him to pass it out/throw it out from the back as soon as he got the ball and to keep it on the deck. If he can sort out his kicking he'll no doubt be the greatest keeper I've witnessed in my time supporting us. As he's already better at commanding his box than Given. He's also much better when it comes to saving in a 1 vs 1 too. Howay Timmy. You can do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 His kicking has been a pet peeve of mine for a while now but it's getting ridiculous. I'm not asking for tiki-taka football, just pass it locally and attempt to keep the thing. Right now it's just aimless hoofing that, when it stays in play, is gifted to the opposition. Was a nice game of 'Hoof to Gouff' until the injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also much better when it comes to saving in a 1 vs 1 too. Howay Timmy. You can do it. That's a bold statement, but I won't disagree with it. His instincts are about on a par with Given, which was probably Shay's biggest attribute. Good instincts and speed makes for a tremendous shot-stopper, which is what/(all) Krul is at the moment imo. Commanding of the box; not too sure. I never sit low enough in the Gallowgate to make a fair assessment of that really; but I wouldn't say our defense is ever supremely organised. He's got the raw abilities to be as good as any keeper in Europe; but personally I still think he's got lightyears to go and - largely down to his distribution - he frustrates me on an almost weekly basis. That's the only reason why I'm quick to be negative/cynical when it comes to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Could do with going back to kicking school. Awful distribution. Good shot stopper but average all-round game for a 'keeper like. He has regressed this season it has to be said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Thought he could have done better with both goals today, the 2nd in particular. There was only one place Bale could have put the ball it seemed and yet it still went in. Kicking was a problem and that moment when he misjudged the cross was poor. Slightly redeemed himself with a couple of saves but shaky performance all round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Can't complain about the second, he saves more of those than most keepers imo. Still the most commanding GK i've seen for NUFC. The kicking is a problem though. Big. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagten Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I thought his distribution was significantly better for the Dutch on Wednesday than it ever has been for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
