Tooj 17 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 His distribution today was excellent I thought. Not just that unbelievable throw but some of his drilled kicks out to our team mates were class too. Obviously not in the same class as Krul but Krul could certainly pick up some things from his distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4082 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Not a bad 3rd choice keeper to have. That throw that went straight to Sissoko's(think it was) feet in the second half was just incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6964 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 His kicking first half was woeful like 2J. To the point the crowd was getting on his back. Second half it improved. His shot stopping and cross claiming was very good however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeris 0 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I loved how Taylor came to pamper him properly everytime he did his job right, good for his confidence throughout the match. We need Krul fit, but now I'm not afraid of seeing Elliot playing the odd league game anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 His distribution today was excellent I thought. Not just that unbelievable throw but some of his drilled kicks out to our team mates were class too. Obviously not in the same class as Krul but Krul could certainly pick up some things from his distribution. That throw was fucking immense. He made a few bad kicks but it was a lot better that Kruls generally but I don't imagine kicking it long is something they teach young Dutch keepers - but he's had plenty time to work on it. Sometimes it's brainless though - trying to pick a pass and losing the ball rather than putting it out of play. It conceded us goals in both the Swansea home & Southampton away games.

Caught, punched and distributed very well. Solid No 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Got to feel a little bit for Harper mind. Think he's injured at the moment, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4082 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Who's our 2nd choice then? Harper, when fit, isnt he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10667 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Harper, when fit, isnt he? Nah, not any more. Hasn't featured for ages and Elliot is definitely ahead of him in the pecking order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10667 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I expect Harps is finished at the club, isn't he? I'd like to see him do coaching badges and whatnot, but I can't see Ashley being sentimental enough to keep a guy like Harper around simply because of his loyalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Eliot was getting the nod for Europa games, so at least he's had a little match practice whereas Harper's barely even featured on the bench. Makes more sense to play the guy who's had more games as he'll be sharper. Harper won't be playing for us again I don't think, but it would be good to see him given a coaching role. We are criminally short in coaching staff it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 That throw was immense. Krul's never thrown a ball like that in all his years. I thought there were some dodgy clearances from him like, but very positive otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10667 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 He started doing his coaching last year. Point being that even if he gets them, unless he's cheap AND good, he'll not be kept around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4082 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I expect Harps is finished at the club, isn't he? Oh, I was under the impression he hasnt been playing because of the fitness problems mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I was hoping that throw would be on YouTube. That's the 'keeper distribution equivalent of Cisse's goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's injured and will be out of contract at the end of the season iirc. So not likely to get another game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4713 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Not such an old age for a keeper. It is for one who isn't playing week in week out and never has been He's lost any semblance of agility nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
