unique 435 Posted November 1, 2021 We have the worst pair of keepers in the PL. We may have bigger issues, but this is a considerable contributing factor. The money sp*nked on Gunn was irresponsible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The money sp*nked on Gunn was irresponsible. 100%. I could not believe it when I saw we'd signed Gunn permanently and for how much money. Not only do we pull our own pants down on the pitch but we do it in the transfer room, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glory.win or die. 270 Posted November 1, 2021 I see lots of ppl moaning about spending £5m on a back up keeper but last season ppl moaned because we had to rely on mcgovern, we couldn't risk that again. £5M for a back up prem gk to push krul seems good value to me. Krul is good enough to play in the prem, pukki is good enough to score goals. The problem is the 9 players between them 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,273 Posted November 2, 2021 Krul is a great guy, and fantastic leader. But his shot stopping abilities are deteriorating at an alarming rate. I think we'd have seen more of this last season, but for our near total dominance reducing him to a by stander for many games. He's becoming more erratic and his decision making is also on the slide. One on one's, he's still good. Penalty's he's still good. Regulation shots from distance, rubbish. He's just not agile enough anymore, and his timing off. He's cost us a few goals recently - and IMO a lot of the saves he makes are over hyped, and should be saved. Tim is adored by many, including me, but we have to look at this objectively. He's at the latter reaches of his career, and it's starting to show. Caretaker manager? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Completely sucked the life out of the team performance. Our biggest problem is having players not good enough to play at this level. I fear Krul's recent performance are evidence he's is slipping into that category. And in such a key position, that's a big problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is the 9 players between them £5m for a backup keeper isn't good value- look at the backups for other teams around us and tell me which one spent £5m on them? The only time you end up with a keeper who costs that much on the bench is if you signed them for the first team and they flopped. Leeds backup keeper at the weekend cost a reported £1.5m, Burnley have free transfer Wayne Hennessey backing up Pope, Brentford have a 23 year old on loan and Watford have a random Austrian they picked up for free from Stoke as a few examples.

Keepers are notoriously difficult to analyse statistically so you'll have to take it with a huge grain of salt but Whoscored have him as the worst keeper in the Premier League this season.

Doomcaster 10 Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Krull accepts it was his mistake - but the shot should never have been gifted from our poor defense Gunn is a good quality keeper - just needs match time if Farke believes he needs a chance to shine like his Dad Edit - I would play Gunn in the Championship - so maybe a good time soon to get him as many minutes on the pitch & up to match fitness / sharpness ready for next season To be honest - if we do get relegated - our squad looks pretty poor to mount a promotion challenge Edited November 2, 2021 by Doomcaster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
