oldtype Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Good show today after 2 poor games. Obviously still inconsistent but there's a good keeper in there somewhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 What do people think - should we leave him in goal or should Harper come back as Nr. 1 once he's fit again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
9 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 What do people think - should we leave him in goal or should Harper come back as Nr. 1 once he's fit again? have to say i was all for Krul being number 1 but seeing Krul in a run of premiership games he is not ready for it yet IMO , his kicking with his right foot needs a lot of work. Hes not done a lot wrong and made no howlers but id like to see him get a loan run somewere but cant see that happening this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I don't think results would have been much different with Harper, Krul is the only one of the two who will improve with games long term, I think he should keep his place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I thought that was his best game so far. Seemed to have lost a bit of decisiveness when coming off his line previously but he looked more like the Krul we first saw yesterday. Came out and took some good high crosses and threw the ball instead of just booting it upfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came out and took some good high crosses and threw the ball instead of just booting it upfield. Yep. Thought he dealt with crosses very well and made the game fast as we were a goal behind. Harper would have waited.... and waited and then kicked the ball instead of rolling it to a defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came out and took some good high crosses and threw the ball instead of just booting it upfield. Some of his throws were excellent, from a few it meant we had the ball past halfway which is obviously good. Also, that save he made from Cole(?) when the flag went up early doors was excellent and will do wonders for his confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Begbie Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 As long as he playes good he should keep his place.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Came out to collect crosses better than before yesterday. Seems more in control of his area now. Produced a great save from that Piquionne shot that was ruled offside as well. Needs to play and we can't send both him and Fraser Forster on loan, so I'd rather he keeps his place ahead of Harper.

Liam Liam Liam O Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Krul's been made to wait for his chance and has taken it now it's eventually cone along. No way Harper should automatically get straight back in once he's fit, whether he's part of the players committee or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I was one in the 'Krul isn't ready' boat, but as long as he keeps performing he should keep his place. It's only fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Harper will come straight back in. Not sure, they'll not want to run the risk of re-injuring him when there's no pressing need for him to return - we saw what happened to Given after a serious injury and he was rushed back.

relámpago blanco Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I think the defence are alot more settled with Krul on set pieces, purely because of his height and he can come for pretty much everything and you know he'll probably get it, unlike Harper who you never know whether he'll come or not.

James Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 He was good for most the game. BUT For the goal, before Cole had the ball it was obvious where it was going to go. A world class keeper would have thrown himself across the goal before the ball even reached Cole's feet, taken the gamble that Cole would have hit it first time right in front of him which he did. There would have been no guarantee of saving it, but the probability would have been a lot higher. However Harper wouldn't have done that either.
