joeyt Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 He was kicking everything with his right foot in the first half despite being left footed, his foot injury must still be causing some pain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Keep this up and he shouldn't be dropped frankly. Nice to hear he's vocal in the dressing room too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Pinkman Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 This lad is growing on me. Apparently was very vocal in the dressing room at half time. All the players I seen interviewed were first to thank Elliot for his saves as well, so they obviously respect him. No chance Krul should walk back into this team.

Kanj Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Think how much better he'd be if he wasn't a fat, injury prone mess. thought the same thing as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 He's looking like a very good keeper, a lot of humble pie needs to be devoured in this thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Have to say he's done brilliantly, compared to expectations at least. It's made no difference to our season that Krul is out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Could it be that our new GK coach (I wanna say Simon Smith but not sure?) has had a good influence on salad dodge? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Humble pie my ass. He's been historically s*** and he's been a mouthpiece for Alan f***ing Pardew. If he starts performing like that consistently and doing his job back there then he'll rightfully get the credit he deserves NOW for actually doing the job like a professional premier league footballer should.

Astroblack Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 great performances in recent weeks. I like that he's vocal and gives a shit. Don't care about that other stuff, it's in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Is it harsh to think he should have saved Dier's header? Got a pretty strong hand on it and would have been a hell of a save if he pulled it off. But I think he'll be pissed off at himself for not keeping it out. Was good apart from that though. Made some great saves and was fine with some routine ones as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Proving himself to be a perfectly acceptable backup keeper tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe has to do with injuries or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 He had a decent game but unsure why he got the man of the match award. He's proving to me that he is actually a decent enough back up but wouldn't go anywhere near to say he should be keeping Krul out the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Still in the boat that I'd like for us to sign a top keeper in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Krul has been dogshit for ages and wouldn't get back in ahead of Elliot if he was fit right now for me like, his distribution alone makes him a distinct liability. Not saying Elliot is world class but the bloke clearly has talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, although Krul has been shite I'm baffled as to why Elliott is being praised to the hilt by some for making saves than any keeper in the top flight make. Krul rightly gets slaughtered for not getting a strong hand to the Tottenham goal. I thought he would be worse than he's showing though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krul rightly gets slaughtered for not getting a strong hand to their goal. I thought he would be worse than he's showing though. Expectations are low, and he's defying them. All you can ask of your keeper is to make as few mistakes as possible, and pull off something spectacular once in a while. Elliot has done exactly that.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 If Krul had pulled off those saves yesterday he would be getting any amounts of praise, it wasn't just yesterday hes pulled off some very fine saves since hes came in to the side and his distribution is eerily accurate too. The goals we've conceded have been more down to our comedy of a defence than him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I think his overall game is better than Krul's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I haven't seen him pull off anything spectacular personally. I've missed a few games this season mind, but people were gushing over the Bournemouth performance when everything was hit straight at him. Same yesterday, other than the Lamela misshit and Kane's strike from 30 yards I don't think he had to move. It was just basic goalkeeping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe has to do with injuries or something? Poor? Dier bullet headers it across goal from six yards out through a crowd of players. He did exceptionally to react in that time frame and even get a hand to it. It was Colo's bad marking, not the keepers fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
