    It seems to me that whenever Tim Krul has a game where the vast majority of his distrubution is via kicking (which isnt exactly his strong point), we struggle. Almost inviting pressure onto us, as the ball is hoofed and tends to be instantly hoofed back. Wolves/QPR most recently, but this theory started developing last season.

    When he throws the ball out we play fluid, controlled passing on the deck and look so much better. Personally i think its becasue its a slower build up, runs are made by forwards/wide men and the ball tends to go through Colo and (recently) particulalrly through Cabaye who almost acts as a quarterback pinging passes about.

    Solution is to only allow Krul 4 or 5 hoofs a game ..for variety.

    See that kick in the second half that he unnecessarily hit on first touch out to the stands? The only blemish in an otherwise brilliant game for him.

    Agreed. Kicking is the weakest part of Krul's game IMO.

    Surely what OP was saying was less about Kruls ability and more about using our midfield to our advantage rather than just letting the opposition take the ball and run with it?
