    Krul is clearly Holland's best keeper, been the best in the league this season.

    Krul No 1
    Vorm No 2

    I'd say he tops Vorm like, but they've both been impressive (bar Vorm's shocker with Arshavin haha).

    still no newspaper has used 'krul intentions' when referring to his ambition to get the holland no.1 jersey <steam>


    p.s. Krul's the best keeper (wish he'd play as more of a 'sweeper keeper' though, we always lose it when he kicks it long, although i suspect that he's not good enough with his feet to do so)

    Krul is absolutely outstanding, I dont think they can keep him from the number 1 shirt for much longer.

    EDIT: not putting Vorm down though, he's been class for Swansea this season.

    Vorm has been used to playing out from the back and looks fairly comfortable doing it, he can be a bit way ward when he kicks it long .His reactions are suberb though and as written else where has been the instrumental in us getting results.(all keepers make mistakes and I'm sure Krul won't be the exception)

    Holland are rather well set for GKs if these two cant get a game, I think we'll all agree.

    Krul is better than Vorm, for the simple reason that Vorm make a lot of good saves, but Krul saves shots that he really has no right to save (eg vs Manure deflection off Stevie). If he hadn't've moved for that, the comms would have said "Krul had no chance there", but he still saved it.

    I find it funny that 2 of the best keepers in the PL are dutch. What are they putting in the dutch water that enables these keepers to be top class?

    I think Stekelenburg is overrated. These 2 are better than him. He plays in a crap italian league, full of OAP's, these 2 play in the toughest league in europe.

    Speaking of GKs not getting a game, did you know Valdes only got his first cap for Spain last year? <yikes> Casillas and Valdes as your GK options... I can imagine worse <laugh>

    Personally I'm quite fine with Timmy on the bench for Holland... <whistle>

    8 clean sheets by Swansea? Christ. May be more difficult to score than I thought.

    <yikes>, oh dear just as well they are inconsistent then, look at these results.

    Man City 4-0 Swansea
    Chelsea 4-1 Swansea Torres sent off in 1st half.
    Norwich 3-1 Swansea (Yes we conceded 4 there but we had a right back and James Perch at centre back).
    Blackburn 4-2 Swansea

    So they can easily concede goals on the road. Also Krul is the better keeper of the two. Remember the error he mad against Arsenal.
