Wallsendmag Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 He wasn't crap in last season, he made a few mistakes but overall he wasn't bad, he's not Sels. He started well but got progressively worse and was turning into a liability. Thats why he got dropped and replaced by Elliot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Both average keepers which is why Rafa wanted a new keeper in the summer. Obviously that never happened thanks to our glorious owner. Couldn't afford a free agent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 In the N-O rulebook of judging goalkeepers, I’m surprised to see Darlow not getting any pelters for dropping a cross (which could easily have resulted in a goal) and not coming/preventing either goal. Two crosses that were hit/headed in within 6 yards. I thought every keeper should prevent them types. ALL HAIL ROB ELLIOT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I like him better than Blobby, he tries to command his area, even if he gets it wrong sometimes. Elliott just stays rooted to the line when the crosses come in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 He has this habit of throwing himself at the ball/man in a weird star shape style that worries me as it can lead to penalties or dropping the ball. He seems more commanding of his box though, or at least tries to command it as you say Tron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a common technique used be goalkeepers, but not by all. Peter Schmeichel™ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I like him. Think he dallies over his kicking too much at times but you have to have shite kicking to play in goal for Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a common technique used be goalkeepers, but not by all. Peter Schmeichel™ Could have easily given a penalty away doing the same. I wasn't referring to his shot stopping per se, more when he flings himself at a player/breaking ball. Nothing criticism anyway. I thought he played well today all things considered and dealt with being badly exposed on crosses and balls over the top all game by his defence’s inability to deal with them.

samptime29 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Thought he was decent, made a strong save from Hazard. He does command the box better that Elliot but we seem vulnerable from crosses atm, so not easy for a keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliott would have been blamed for the first 2 goals on here and even for the penalty for not standing still by the select few. None of our keepers are good enough.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 If Elliot had been playing we would've let in at least another two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 If Elliot had been playing we would've let in at least another two. Considering Elliott is massive, he never makes himself big. Darlow is straight in with the flying star fish, ready to take one in the knackers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Should have saved the first goal, but offset this would two or three cracking saves he made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hypocrisy levels of this place is unreal What the f*** are you on about If he did bad then everyone here would've pointed it out, there is no agenda for the guy or against Elliot, the later was praised when he had good games too What I'm on about is that Elliott was blamed on here for Watfords third goal last week because the ball came across this 6 yard box before it was put in the goal, yet Darlow has conceded 3 goals in 2 games from crosses into his 6 yard box yet doesn't get any criticism. Shay Given said in the studio at half time he could have done better with the 1st goal yesterday if he'd stood up instead of going down on his knees although personally I think that shots hit into the ground are always tricky to save.
