Tim Krul (now playing for Luton Town)

No fault for the goals and that save was excellent, although I still feel queasy every time a cross/corner comes in. His faults probably cancel out Harper's, so lets stick with the younger option. Still look forward to Forster coming back though.

Said this a while back, needs to learn when and when not to come for corners/crosses. When he gets it right, it's great, when he doesn't, he often misses the ball entirely and lands us into trouble

He had a decent game, but I was disappointed to see him tearing into Perch after the first goal. That looked wrong. Krul is a young lad who needs to concentrate on his own game. Perch isn't high on confidence and that wouldn't have done him any good.

 

Besides, although Perch could have got a bit closer, he didn't do a lot wrong.

I've just read on wiki that Forster is now 6'7"  :kasper:

 

Nowt to do with Krul, but can't be arsed to look for relevent thread.

 

Forster has a lot going for him, could be a top goalkeeper

Head and shoulders above Krul, we maybe just 5 inches or so.

Krul needs to dominate his six yard box

For a keeper his size that should be a given. I think it's probably just a confidence issue. He's been thrown in the spotlight and been under intense pressure for the first time. He's done well for the most part and even if he's rested for a while he'll come back stronger.

With Steve Harper’s wife due to give birth, Holland Under-21 captain Tim Krul was given an opportunity in goal.

 

Pardew blamed him for setting an unfortunate tone. He added: “We did not pass the ball well. The goalkeeper had a problem kicking the ball, he seemed to be shanking a lot of kicks.

 

“That was putting us under a lot of pressure.

 

“That was not the sort of standard we expect from Newcastle and what I expect as a manager.”

 

Not sure what to make of this. Krul had a poor game, of that there is no doubt, but isn't part of the manager's job to instil confidence in his players going forward? I can't see him referring to Harper as 'the goalkeeper' and effectively saying he's not good enough for the club. :undecided:
