Best match I've seen him in for a long time but sadly despite being a massive fan for a long time he hasn't become the player I thought he would. At times a good shot stopper but at other times absolutely abysmal at others.

 

If Darlow is decent I'd be open to seeing him take over. Our GK line up are the worst I've seen in my lifetime to be honest.

None of the pundits or journos on twitter seemed to mention how bad his positioning was for the goal.  Kept saying it was a great header from Crouch.  It went straight up in the air and lobbed Krul from about 5 yards out.  Pathetic keeping and poor decision making from Krul again.

I have to say that those kind of goals always look like the keeper should save them - Krul wasn't far off his line, the cross was floated, the header was slow and loopy etc, but they seem to go in quite regularly so there must be something that's difficult about them to save that I haven't quite figured out.

True - but I just thought he could have anticipated it a bit better.  As I said, the cross was floating over and it was fairly clear that Crouch would win the header.  And Crouch could only really score in one way.  Possibly being harsh on Krul, but it looked like it could have been saved.

I thought it was more that Krul started to come and hesitated, something he does quite often TBH.  He seems to mistime/misjudge a lot of crosses.  He then never really got back into position and seemed to just be in no man's land, allowing Crouch to loop it over him.  He should have done a lot better IMO.

 

That said, he made a very decent save to keep it 0-0 and saved again later on from Walters.

 

He's a good keeper.  But I agree with others who have said they expected him to develop and play at a higher level then he is currently.
