Away Day Gadgie Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Just watched Rafa's press conference and he said that Krul signed for Brighton permanently in the first place but they only just decided to announce it this week. So he's saying the club lied about it being a loan? Or did i get that wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papavasiliou Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Anyone else listen to the Football Ramble's interview with Chris Kirkland? He talked a bit about when Raffa came in at Liverpool and changed up things. He said Raffa insisted on bringing in his own non-English speaking Keeping Coach who's training methods were a lot slower and less reliant on shot stopping and reactions and stuff. He went on about it a lot. Had a real issue with foreign coaches during his career by the sounds of it. Made me wonder if the same thing happened with Krul.

xLiaaamx Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Our Keeper Coach is English, isn't he? Anyway, Krul's not even English so he shouldn't need an English coach. He probably just wasn't deemed good enough anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably just wasn't deemed good enough anymore. Aye but it was mostly about the difference in coaching methods. Raffa prefered the more methodical way that I'm not sure Krul would be used to after spending the majotity of his footballing life up here with Woodman blasting volleys at him for a few hours a day. Kirkland did seem a little obsessed with it being "English vs Foreigners" but according to him Raffa literally said when he came in "I'm selling you so I can bring a foreign keeper in instead".

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 So has Krul played for Brighton in the Premiership yet? Is he 1st choice, 2nd choice on the bench or 3rd choice not in the match squad? I've not checked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pepe Reina is Rafa's type of keeper I can see why he fucked off Kirkland asap. Polar opposites. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't a keeper but I took one of those NUFC community footy keeper courses for the craic and he was the coach. Was surprised to see him at such a high level shortly after that.

Robster Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Didn't Kirkland have a lot of injury problems during his Liverpool career ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papavasiliou Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Did you get that through the acast subscription? I want to watch it but I just assumed that was the only way to get it. It was meant to be one of the Acast episodes but it just appeared in my feed and downloaded it's self automatically. Must have been some sort of mixup releasing it. Didn't Kirkland have a lot of injury problems during his Liverpool career ? Aye. Throughout his whole career by the sounds of it. Was first choice ahead of Dudek and playing the Champions League games till his back gave out. Went out on loan the next season and when he got back Rafa had bought Reina and told him to find a new club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Remember when some people were worried about NUFC letting Tim Krul go to Brighton? Strengthening a rival they said. Has he started a league game for Brighton yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 No. They have another keeper, he was never going to be the starter unless Ryan got hurt. Did it strengthen us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Did it weaken us? Ashley wouldn't have allowed the Dubravka loan if we'd had Krul, Elliot and Darlow on the books. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Did it weaken us? Ashley wouldn't have allowed the Dubravka loan if we'd had Krul, Elliot and Darlow on the books. I mean, I'm fairly certain Krul is better than Elliot - so in that sense it weakened us. Wouldn't want him as a starter though, but a better back-up than Elliot.

Amir_9 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Think him not fancying the championship a second time around meant Rafa not interested in keeping him around Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I don't remember reading that he didn't fancy the Championship. Thought he was just injured and we signed Sels so Krul was going to be low down the pecking order Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Eh, we're safe and Dubravka seems a more all round complete keeper. He's got communication, and both ball playing skills and the ability to command his box at a level Timmy could only dream of. Plus he'd listed on in our goal for so long he'd got stale and complacent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Dubravka has a lot more about him. Krul was great for a few years but I agree with the lack of competition point, plus Pardew / Woodman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Krul was crap before his injury, impossible to say if he’d have done any better than Elliot/Darlow imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
