Guest Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 14 Goals conceded in 30 games this season. Yes, their defence are miles ahead of us but still. Kelvin Davis who was shit at this level about 10 years ago has managed to keep it to 5 in 5 since he came in tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 We let the wrong man leave, I did think that at the time He'd be exactly the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Freddy Shepard was Tim Krul's agent ? seems strange. It would've been his son, Kenny Shep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 If Krul had any ambition he'd spend the whole summer practising his kicking with a professional coach. I know the goalkeeping coach we have may be shit but Krul himself should be able to see that he has to improve and should do it himself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's got ambition he'll leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not going to get a decent club to sign him until he improves his kicking by a million percent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 The retarded local journo in desperate need of a colossal kicking called him 'one of Europe's top keepers' just weeks ago. Krul probably believes it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 He's like a raggedy scarecrow, flapping and waving in a breeze. He's replaced Williamson as 'the new fear'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Amount of times he can't save headers seem you'd think somehow these scorers have channeled their inner Les Ferdinand or Alan Shearer or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Amount of times he can't save headers seem you'd think somehow these scorers have channeled their inner Les Ferdinand or Alan Shearer or something. His positioning is ridiculous. Man is wide shaping to cross a ball and Krul 'is still' covering his near post....Hence it takes him a lifetime to scuttle over and no chance to stop the header. Krul was actually in the back of the net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hes turning into Given, good keeper ruined by years of a shite defence in front of him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Given had the same weaknesses throughout most of his time here. His kicking was initially poor but he sorted it and he was never imposing or commanding in the box. His shotstopping certainly never went to shit like Krul's has.

Krul was actually in the back of the net. This. I urge anyone to watch his positioning for WBA's goal the other week. His starting position was so wrong it boggled the mind. I was screaming at him before the kick came in that his left side was where it'll end up, and it ended up exactly there. Again, putting the blame solely on the players is wrong. There is clearly a coaching issue compounding these errors. He may be thick, but he isn't as useless as some here make out. He has massive potential, but for that potential to bloom, he needs to get his finger out AND has to be trained by someone who knows what they're doing.

Collage Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Given had the same weaknesses throughout most of his time here. His kicking was initially poor but he sorted it and he was never imposing or commanding in the box. His shotstopping certainly never went to s*** like Krul's has. He was/is a short keeper, so I guess he was better off standing on the line and relying on his shot stopping, which was excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 His kicking is fuckign atrocious. Mind...just about every keeper I've seen in a Newcastle top has shit kicking. Pav was the last half-decent one. Elliott is actually okay at distributing he is just shite at everything else. I feel for Krul like - it's all turned sour and fast. He should leave this summer and go to a decent club with ambition, for his sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Given played for a club with some standards and may have had more between his ears. Krul is more talented and has better tools imo but the club and his brain are useless.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Pav wasn't really a good kicker. Steve Harper (before he became a perennial reserve) was very good. As far as keepers go, Mike Hooper was the best kicker of a ball I've ever seen. Poor at everything else but I vividly remember him almost scoring twice from his own box and actually forcing a fairly decent save from a goal kick against Luton.

He has massive potential, but for that potential to bloom, he needs to get his finger out AND has to be trained by someone who knows what they're doing. The other thing is that he hasn't worked on his 'bambi legs'...The brain sends the message and then he sort of skitters and stumbles to where he is meant to be 60 light years later. Look at De Gea and how he's firmed up his body and looks so much stronger than when he first arrived. And he's blind as well...But has quickly become better than Krul when they had basically the same potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
