David28 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I always feel more confident with Krul in goal than Harper. Not always. Krul tends to have an error rather than Harper. On the other side, Krul tends to have the odd world class save in him that Harper won't have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I feel safer with Harper. Krul's erratic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Krul is a better shotstopper, but is young and will need to learn. Don't know if he's completely ready yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should take the risk, though. Give him the Nr. 1 for next season and we'll be better off long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Krul's biggest problem seems to be his decision making and I think a lot of that is down to the pressure he puts on himself to make a good impression when he gets his chance, it's something you would hope he will improve on when he gets more settled into the first team. I think it's great that he comes for most things though and will be a huge help for the back four, Shay Given was a great goalkeeper for us but it used to annoy me how he didn't come for hardly any balls that were floated over and instead left all of the responsibility to the defenders, when the opposition inevitably scored from some of these high balls into the box the blame was instantly put on the defenders while Given stayed rooted to his line. For that reason I can live with him making the odd fuck up on the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Taylor Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Krul's shot stopping > Harpers consistency for me. The experience of being No1 will only benefit Krul and aid his consistency... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a shot stopper as your second point proves and Harper is even worse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 krul's no great shot stopper, like. He's as good as most keepers than age, no better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could play safe like Given and Harper and just be a shot stopper but a keeper who is trying to do the difficult stuff deserves the benefit of the doubt.

thomas Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Krul all day every day. His game can be improved. Nothing will prevent another Sturridge-esque goal from squeaking past Harper at half the speed of smell while he struggles to get to ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Good stuff. Hope he does well, is it a slightly weakened squad? Not necessarily, but a lot of senior players have cancelled after a long season, especially in the goalkeeper department, where first to third choice have all not travelled. It is a strange time to organise a friendly tour to the other side of the world... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a strange time to organise a friendly tour to the other side of the world... England toured there at this time of year in 1984 as a prelude to the Mexico world cup 2 years later. The next world cup is in Brazil so it's a chance for them to tour over there and see the lay of the land well in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 The only way he's going to improve and become more confident, leading to more consistency in decision making, will be if he plays. Simple as that. He'd be my no.1 for next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Quite funny how our third choice keeper was number one for the second biggest team in Scotland and our number two is starting for one of the better national sides. And people say there are a shortage of good keepers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
