TRon Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Back to his best it seems He's been really good so far this season, does look like the Krul of a few seasons ago. Looks fit as fuck as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have him in goal ahead of Joe Hart any day of the week. Krul's still one of the better keepers in the premier IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was another in the second-half but there weren't any Arsenal players around to take advantage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 He couldn't hold onto a few shots today like. He's a good shot stopper when on form, but a very average keeper in general. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 what's happening at the moment? his distribution looks better than it's been for years and every game he's pulled off at least 1-2 game changing saves but he's playing under par for parrying shots that don't lead directly to goals? people have lost their shit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was well hidden when we were stinking up the joint under Pardew and Carver was dragging us toward the Championship but there are some people on here who will pick fault with absolutely everything.

It's the unrelenting negativity which completely ignores absolutely everything else that went on that gets on my tits. Krul played well today, he made a couple of important saves and there's people saying they're "surprised" he's not being shat on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He parried one straight to Chamberlain today for the goal. He also parried one straight into Walcott's path and more times than not that would have been a goal.

Dokko Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 This season he's started well but the main thing for me is what he's doing with the new guys. He's all over them with support and generally talking to his defence. Its totally different to what we've seen from him, it could be a case he's maturing but it also could be a case of coaching him and making him take responsibility as an older player.

54 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Goalkeeper Tim Krul pulled no punches following Newcastle United's Capital One Cup defeat against Sheffield Wednesday, The Magpies crashed at the third round stage following a lacklustre display in which they were beaten by Lewis McGugan's deflected strike midway through the second half. That meant a fourth successive loss for United - in which time they have only scored once - and Krul offered a brutally honest assessment of their shortcomings. "We need to be better than that, as a team and individually," the Dutch international told nufc.co.uk. "Everybody has to look at themselves in the mirror and ask if they gave everything. If not, they have to start straight away, because what we are doing at the moment is really not good enough. "A couple of players put in good performances but there were also some really bad ones. "The team we put out was more than good enough to win this game, and they didn't really trouble us. But if you don't score, you give them hope. That's what we did and they took advantage. "The goal was just a long ball which dropped down and the shot got a deflection to take it in. That's their game - the Championship long ball - but we knew that and should have dealt with it so much better." When asked to try and put his finger on why Newcastle are struggling to find their feet in the early part of the 2015/16 campaign, Krul's response was simple. "It's confidence," he said. "We are doing alright in some areas but the end product just isn't there. "You have to be honest enough to say that we are getting up there and playing some good stuff to get there, but it's all about the final quality in the final third, which just isn't happening. "I'm not just blaming the forward though because we need to look at the whole team. Defensively we haven't been on top form yet - nobody has been. "Everybody needs to grow now. We need to come out and show we are real men. "Chelsea and Manchester City are two massive games and we have to show that we've got the fight for it." Despite his criticism elsewhere, Krul had praise for United's supporters who turned out in great numbers for the Capital One Cup tie. "They were behind us again," he said. "A lot of them turned up and I really appreciated it because it could have been easy for them to stay at home, especially with the way things have been. "Everything was there to beat Sheffield Wednesday and do well in this cup but we didn't, and we let the fans down. "We have to try and turn it around on Saturday against Chelsea, with 50,000 Geordies being that extra man that we really need right now. Hopefully they will give us the confidence and lift we need. "We need them behind us but we need to show them something, too, and give them something to shout about. It's a two-way street. "Saturday is a new game and we have to show the fans fight and passion, and everybody needs to put in a proper performance." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
