JH Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Krul blatantly isn't ready. ... and very likely will never be. I remember some people saying something like that about Carroll when he was younger. And it took Sir Alex Ferguson time to deliver for Man United - should we give Pardew five years?

No. But we should have given Hughton five years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen927 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Certainly wouldn't feel comfortable going into next season with Forster as number 1 in the Premiership. We need to pick Krul or Forster, if we sign another keeper we risk losing both. Probably end up with Harper as first choice next season regardless, with the young keeper who doesn't go out on loan as back-up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rey Mysterio Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Depends on how good Forster actually is. Krul is still a good distance off from being able to replace Harper. In what way? I don't see how he could do any worse than Harper's been doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punk77 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Depends on how good Forster actually is. Krul is still a good distance off from being able to replace Harper. In what way? I don't see how he could do any worse than Harper's been doing. Agreed. Krul's weakness is first and foremost his ability to sweep behind the defense, which is Harper's strong side. But Krul has good reactions. I'm pretty sure that Krul would have saved Sturredge shot. Harper seems helpless on shots from distance. He doesn't have the agility. Using Harper will not benefit us at all, he's not a keeper for the future, while Krul is. Abilitywise they're probably even steven right now. The difference is that Harper never will be a better keeper than he's now. Playing Harper will only hinder Krul's development. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Kruls kicking is even worse than harpers and his decision making on crosses is not good, i think he is a far superior shot stopper and after yesterdays shenanigans I am losing patience with harper. I have only seen forster live a couple of years ago but watching him on the telly for celtic he seems the better option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 No, he's shite. I reckon he's one of the worst keepers in the premiership. Only Al Habsi and Kingson are worse in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Comparing first choice keepers in PL I think he is one of the worst. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 The fact his back is knackered doesn't help either his kicking or agility Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Definitely a position that could realistically be improved upon. Then keeping one of the youngsters on as backup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Harper looks like a bad joke when you compare him to someone like Reina. Harpers distribution is shocking and should be given a DVD of Reina and how he delivers it quickly with either a throw or a kick that is anything but just punted in the general direction of up field. The rebuild for me starts at the very back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Forster was superb today for Celtic,one save from a deflected free-kick was outstanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foster made a couple of cracking saves and for a big lad he can get down quite quickly. He really does seem like he is going to be a damn good keeper. We need to give this lad a chance.

Guest neesy111 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Tbf, I agree with Crumpy. The fact is distribution is a huge part of being a keeper, a keeper that gives away posession time and time again is a liability to the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Not only is his distribution shit, he takes so long to kick the fucking thing, allowing the other team to get back and organised easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
