Tim Krul (now playing for Luton Town)

A few too many quotes coming from various places saying he should get the gig, its a bit worrying.  I wonder if its a "softening-up" by that media guru,  so when Carver gets the job its not a shock.

What are people expecting anyway? "This Carver person, who has a large degree of direct control over my immediate future, is an incompetent that should be sacrificed for the betterment of NUFC."

 

This is just not going to happen. Krul is so attached to the club that he will want to leave at any chance of a starting position for a bigger club. Like anyone with common sense, he is self-interested. Pardew and Carver have also overseen his emergence during one of the most important spells of his career, you may underestimate his affection towards them. Anyway, outside of the negative substitutions in a winnable fixture at Selhurst, I don't see too much to complain about in the last three matches. My expectations are low under this management anyway, and my main annoyance at this moment is the complete lack of appropriate personnel at the back.

Tim Krul says that Newcastle fans should give Carver more time to prove himself and says that Newcastle’s three-match unbeaten run could easily have yielded nine points had they had a bit more fortune in recent games.

 

“We very much believe in what John and Stoney do, and we have shown that on the pitch,” the Holland goalkeeper said.

 

“We’re three games unbeaten, and we should have won last week against Stoke. We gave it away. We could have won (against Palace), and we could have had nine points and three clean sheets.

 

“We have to look at the positives. I think there are a few out there maybe giving John a hard time, but we could have had nine points.”

 

Guess what should and could equate to on the PL table? Absolutely fuck all.

 

Wish Krul, Carver, Cronkey etc, would all fuck off with this shit patter.

 

Hasn't happened, ne point in thinking 'Oh what if?'

Yes Tim, we could have had nine points from those games had it not been for Carver :lol:

Anyway, don't blame any player sticking up for a manager anyway, he'd be fucked if he didn't.

 

As if, he's got no competition. If Carver dropped him it wouldn't be far off a suicide note.

 

Seems to me that the simple truth is, like Pardew before him, he has the players on his side.

Aye, some of them at least.

 

Yeah, possibly not the lad in your Avatar a few weeks back. :hmm:

Of course some of them are 100% behind him, they're getting a game. Another boss comes in, susses them out, sees them for the average plodders they are and bins them to their rightful level. Bet the likes of Williamson fucking love the bloke, been said a million times before.

I think it'll be after the Euros personally. A season with Darlow at the club getting used to his new surroundings, then number 1 shirt for the 16/17 season.

UEFA European U19 Championship

Elite Qualifying Round

17 May 2007, England

Ricoh Arena, Coventry FC

 

 

 

It was a tale of two penalties on a night when England's dream of qualifying for the European Championships evaporated.

 

After falling behind to a freak own goal, two spot-kicks - one missed and one scored - ultimately decided England's fate.

 

Danny Haynes failed from 12 yards on the stroke on half-time, a miss compounded in the 71st minute when Jordy Buijs masterfully stroked his penalty home.

 

England had other chances too, but a combination of wasteful finishing and immaculate goalkeeping from Tim Krul meant the young Lions were left with a mountain to climb.

 

When they did finally adjust the shooting radar, it was too late. Hogan Ephraim's curling effort might have been the goal of the game, but it was a mere consolation.

 

On a warm evening at the splendid Ricoh Arena, the young Lions - needing a win - started brightly, stroking the ball confidently along the perfect Ricoh Arena turf.

 

But they almost fell behind on seven minutes when Chelsea's Michael Mancienne played a terribly short back-pass to goalkeeper Frank Fielding.

 

The alert Jordy Brouwer latched on to the loose ball, rounded the onrushing Fielding before bearing down on an empty net. A goal seemed certain until Mancienne atoned for his error by dashing back heroically before launching himself into a last-ditch tackle to rob Brouwer on the goal-line.

 

England's best chance of unlocking the Dutch defence was through Ephraim, West Ham's twinkle-toed starlet. Deployed wide on the left, Ephraim attacked with guile and it was no surprise when he helped fashion the hosts' first chance.

 

Jinking past his man, he played the overlapping Scott Golbourne down the line who crossed into a crowded penalty box. Amongst the melee, Craig Lindfield somehow brought the ball down before firing at goal, only to see his shot blocked.

 

England Head Coach Brian Eastick was forced into a an early change, replacing the hobbling Fabrice Muamba with Adam Hammill. Just seconds after the substitution, the Dutch were ahead, courtesy of a freak goal.

 

Brouwer's reverse pass gave Siem De Jong a clear sight of goal, but he thrashed the ball against the post from close range. However, lady luck was not smiling on the back-peddling Golbourne, the ball ricocheting off him and into the net.

 

It was a cruel blow but Holland didn't care and they set about doubling their advantage during a period of dominance.

 

But England stood firm and played their way back into the game. Indeed, they could have equalised on the stroke of half-time when Michael Johnson raced clear but the Manchester City midfielder could not find a way past Tim Krul, the Newcastle goalkeeper making a superb stop.

 

The young Lions squandered an even better opportunity just before the interval when Haynes was scythed down in the box by Christian Supusepa.

 

After dusting himself off, the Ipswich striker watched agonisingly as Krul flung himself to his left to save.

 

In the ensuing melee, Rossi Jarvis hooked the ball goalwards to Hammill whose header was then nodded off the line by De Jong.

 

Having prevented a goal, De Jong almost scored seven minutes into the second period with a clever free-kick. Shunning the favoured up and over the wall method, the number ten struck the ball low through a forest of legs. Fielding was alert to the danger and made an excellent save low to his right.

 

At the other end, Krul made an even better save to maintain the Dutch lead. Jarvis seemed certain to level after bursting into the box and planting a shot towards the bottom corner. But the expectant England fans had not banked on Krul instinctively flicking out his right boot to deflect the ball wide.

 

England's hopes of a comeback were crushed in the 71st minute when Fielding brought down Marvin Emnes. Buijs stepped up and sent the keeper the wrong way. His vocal celebration by the corner flag suggested he and his Dutch team-mates knew it was game over.

 

There was time for an England goal, albeit in injury-time, when Ephraim cut inside and curled the ball past Krul's outstretched arm.

 

But the goalscorer then went from hero to zero in seconds when he saw red for a late challenge on Buijs.

 

England: 13 Frank Fielding (Blackburn Rovers), 2 Elliot Omozusi (Fulham, 14 Stephen Darby, Liverpool, 60 mins), 3 Scott Golbourne (Reading), 4 Fabrice Muamba (Birmingham City, 11 Adam Hammill, on loan at Dumfermline, 28 mins), 5 Jack Hobbs (Liverpool), 6 Michael Mancienne (Chelsea), 8 Michael Johnson (Manchester City), 9 Danny Haynes (Ipswich Town), 10 Hogan Ephraim (West Ham), Craig Lindfield (Liverpool, 15 Chris Martin, Norwich City, 78 mins), 17 Rossi Jarvis (Norwich City).

 

Subs not used: 1 Jamie Annerson (Sheffield United), 7 Sam Hewson (Manchester United), 12 Ben Turner (Coventry City), 18 Jack Cork (Chelsea)
