Wullie Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 It's understandable that he shaped to dive left when he'd only just clawed an effort from a very similar position round his left hand post by his fingertips ten minutes earlier. Difficult for a goalkeeper when a player can take such wildly different free kicks with no loss in effectiveness. Staggering left foot on the bloke.

Mick Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Krul had no chance with that free kick. It swerved away from him, no keeper would have got to that from his starting position and his starting position looked about right to cover as much of his goal as possible.

Hughesy Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I thought it was an odd decision by Krul to take that step to his left before the ball was hit as you can tell what Baines is going to do from his body position during his run up. There was no way he got have approached the ball in that fashion and then curled one over the wall to Krul's left. I think that was an error from Krul to be honest.

wormy Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I don't know if it's been talked about, but does the free kick come off Obertan? I've watched the replay from behind Baines a few times now and I'm starting to think it takes quite a deflection off Obertan. As soon as it reaches him it doesn't look like a swerve as such to me. Maybe I'm seeing things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Looked like it creeped through without a touch, partially because of Ober moving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to think Obertan would block it? That's the only way I could explain the step to the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Krul really can't be blamed for that goal. With most goals someone could have done something different but it doesn't mean they fucked up, just they had a few options and chose the wrong one. Obviously the Baines goal was talked about quite a lot today at work, can't say anyone said 'That Krul, really shouldn't have taken a step to the side' and if I suggested it I would have rightly been laughed at. Teams/players sometimes just score very good goals. I also think their second was more down to quick thinking, quick movement and one touch passing that tore us apart than us just being shit which we have been for quite a few goals recently.

basjen Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 His skills rushing out/1v1 is extreme. I think it is his positioning and bravery that does it, it is like he has a f***ing magnet attached to him. Have some work to do, with kicking especially, but i believe he will become a great keeper for us (not that he is not good enough already). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Does Krul save that free kick without a wall? Possibly actually, but was a hell of a kick, don't think he was at fault tbh No - not knocking him, was thinking more of the principal for future consideration. Surely there has to be an argument to say that Baines (or anyone else for that matter) couldn't beat a keeper from 35-40 yards without the wall partially blocking his view. I'm arguing with myself here really as I guess the sheer volume of bodies in the box means a likely deflection would probably increase the possibility of ball movement/deflections and/or increase the number of second balls being knicked by poachers closer to the goal as opposed to boucning off the wall closer to the edge of the box. Hmmm. Conclusion. Fuck knaas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 There will always be people in the way even if they aren't in a wall. But does he have better sight of the 'in-ball' and more chance to react/use his reflexes than if the ball is launched in blind? As I say, I'm arguing with myself a bit here but it's an interesting thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 He approaches his goal kicks like he's right footed so when he hits them they just swing to the left side of the pitch instead of down the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

localshop Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Abbiati is due in June, Amelia could make a case to play with continuity, which is why the Milan looking for a goalkeeper for the future and beyond the hypothesis Perin of Pescara via Genoa is considering the foreign track. Has learned exclusively by calciomercato.com, during contacts with the Newcastle market for Davide Santon men Rossoneri have requested information for Tim Krul, number one class in 1988 under contract with the Magpies until June 2017. The English club evaluates the player at least € 12 million, but at the end of the season is willing to sit around a table. The goalkeeper was born in The Hague is in the national team led by Dutch Van Gaal and at home is considered the heir of Stekelenburg. Its excellent performance with the shirt of Newcastle have attracted the attention of clubs in the first band and according to the Spanish press Krul is a target of Barcelona , seeking a replacement for Victor Valdes.
