Guest Haris Vuckic Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 The problem is I'm foolish enough to believe Krul will stay. He's been here so long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I see genuine love for the club from Timmy. There's very little chance he will leave in the next couple of years. Perhaps when his contract runs down he might consider leaving but not now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Tim Krul: Pardew has sorted Newcastle defence by Lee Ryder, Evening ChronicleJun 21 2012 NEWCASTLE United star Tim Krul feels that Alan Pardew deserves every plaudit he gets for helping the Magpies shake off their “dodgy defence” tag. The Magpies looked vulnerable in their first season back in the big time during 2010-11, but gradually Pardew has helped build up Newcastle’s reputation as a hard to beat outfit. Only Manchester City and Manchester United had more shutouts than Newcastle last term with their defensive solidity helping to earn a fifth-place finish in the Premier League. Krul, who was one of Newcastle’s star performers last season, will start the season as Pardew’s number 1 and believes that Pardew has turned things around defensively since his appointment in December 2010. Now the big Dutchman feels that with a solid platform to work from in games – couple with the likes of lethal marksman like Papiss Cisse – the Magpies can only build on their outstanding achievements in the last campaign. The Holland international told the Chronicle: “From the moment the manager stepped in he has been working with the defence. “We have defensive reports now before every game. “He’s just kept hammering that home. If we keep clean sheets now, we have players who can make the difference and can win us games. “It’s not just the back four but also people like Yohan Cabaye in there and we are capable of beating anybody.” Newcastle will return for pre-season training in just 15 days time with a hectic start to the season in prospect. They face their season opener against Tottenham Hotspur on August 18 before a trip to Chelsea a week later. However, United will also take on European opposition in between their battles with the London clubs as they prepare for the first leg of their Europa League play-off game. Of course the first continental campaign on Tyneside for six years is eagerly anticipated by fans and players alike. Yet Krul knows that the entire squad will be rotated as they bid to cope with the intensity of both competitions. He said: “It’s not one person here, it’s a proper team effort. “You go from Danny Simpson, who has been immense at right-back to Davide Santon to Perchy to Willo to Coloccini, everybody chips in – even the lads who haven’t started most of the games. “You can’t do it with just 11 players – especially next year. You need to do it with a big squad.” The Magpies ended their last campaign with their best finish since 2004 under the guidance of the great, late Sir Bobby Robson. The scenes at the end of the season though could not have been predicted by the majority of the game’s observers according to Krul. He said: “To finish fifth is incredible. Everybody has to remember where we were not so long ago. And there weren’t many who tipped us for a top-five finish.” Read More http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2012/06/21/tim-krul-pardew-has-sorted-newcastle-defence-72703-31228651/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter#ixzz1yQ4fFg3X Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Not sure why our defense gets so much credit, okay they are better, but to be on the receiving end of some the scores we were last season was shocking really. We all know there is room for improvement and a new right back and centre back IMO, will make a massive difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 That's unfair. Generally our defence was good last year. It was just that when we had an off day the roof tended to fall in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 When we were bad, we were awful, but for the most part the defence was solid. We only ended up a couple clean sheets off City and Joe Hart who won the golden glove didn't we? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Mags Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Harsh I'd say. Yes in the games we got humped, we got humped good and proper but you can find reasons in there for those debacles (personnel out of position, thrown in at the deep end etc) In the majority of games we were excellent though. The clean sheet total speaks for itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Maul Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Four matches out of the full Premier League season - Norwich(a), Spuds(a), Wigan(a) and Fulham(a) - accounted for 18 out of 51 of our goals conceded. Take away those aberrations and we conceded 33 in 34, which is very good. Like some other posters have said when we have a bad day the roof really seems to cave in on us, hell against Fulham and Wigan all the opposition's goals came in one half. Mental. We'll be looking to address those problems this season no doubt, but on the whole the defence is very good. I'll have even more confidence when Taylor comes back and we get someone else in so we don't have to rely on Williamson who, despite being likeable, is ultimately a liability.

Ted Maul Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Aye fair comment. Wigan in particular we just seemed to forget that work ethic that we'd displayed most of the season, the forwards weren't doing the necessary running and even the likes of Tiote were just walking around the pitch, horrible to see when you've become used to such a hard-working team ethos.

54 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11678/7905839/Krul-fired-up-after-Dutch-woe Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul says he has taken lessons from Holland's Euro 2012 nightmare and is determined to push on with the Magpies this season. Krul took a backseat to Dutch No.1 Maarten Stekelenburg in Poland and Ukraine and could only watch from the bench as the Oranje slumped to defeat in all three of their group games to seal a shock early exit. The 24-year-old says the experience was a valuable learning curve and insists it has only strengthened his resolve to claim the Holland gloves as his own in the future. Experience Krul, speaking from Newcastle's pre-season training camp in Germany, told the club's official website: "It was an experience for me and one that will stand me in good stead. "I was involved at a major tournament. I've got to remember that, and it was great to be a part of it. "It's just a shame that it turned out to be such a difficult tournament for Holland. "Losing three times in a row is not what the Dutch national team do. So from that point of view it was a big shame, but for me it was a great experience overall. "Being there made me realise that's where I want to be. I want to be the number one for my country and play in tournaments like that every two years. "It was exciting to be there, see what it's like and it gave me a real taste for it. "It's given me a real push to perform well for Newcastle and make it where I want to be for the national team." Krul, who will return to training on Tuesday, says he is raring to go ahead of the new season after his summer break. "I'm excited to be back and it's good to see the boys again after a break," he added. "Woody (Andy Woodman, goalkeeping coach) has already had a few words with me and he's got some training programmes for me to get going with. "But I'm looking forward to it. Holidays are nice but after a while you start to miss the football and I have been raring to go again." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
