It's Darlow's to lose in my book. The good thing for us is that if he doesn't perform at the top of his game then there are others able to come in who will.
Krul is probably still our best option, judged on past form, but Darlow is not far behind him at all. Darlow is making the jersey his own at the moment to be fair.
Krul is our best natural goal keeper but his distribution had really become poor I think. It brought to much pressure onto the team. So im going to say Elliot although Darlow is doing a good job.
I'd have to go Darlow. Certainly with how Rafa likes to play. Krul is the worst equipped for that as he has not improved his kicking or ability to play out.
Thought Elliott was an inspiration last season and we picked up numerous points almost solely due to him (Bournemouth and Tottenham away both spring to mind). I've not seen Krul perform like that for us for years. Darlow and Sels back-up. They're all decent but none are clearly great.
Goalkeeper? Why do we need a goalkeeper? We have Rafa's attacking style of football. OK, well if we really MUST have one I'd bring Beardsley out of retirement so he can play a kind of rush goalie / sweeper / midfield general / winger / striker sort of free role.
