Am I being Krul on Given?

Not sure if it's necessarily down to Krul's organisation of the defence, but rather Pardew's.

 

Maybe, there has been a drastic improvement recently. I think the communication on the pitch has improved though, not just between goalkeeper and defence but also between Colo and Saylor. They seem to know each other's main strengths/weaknesses and adapt their game accordingly.

 

You have a point, Krul is a much bigger keeper than Given as well so comes to collect a lot more corners, whereas Given would allow the corner to come in and count on himself saving a point blank shot.

 

given was a world class shot stopper , however his command of the box was average and his distribution of the ball was poor. This is prob way, a big team never signed him

 

Atm Given is better, but in the future I have no doubt Krul will be better than Given currently is

 

You are all so mean!
