Tim Krul will be joining the Newcastle squad in Germany for the remainder of the first of their two mini-European tours in this pre-seaosn.
Tim Krul in action last season – we must have just scored!
The Newcastle Assistant Manager John Carver had this to say to the Newcastle Journal this morning:
“All of the lads who were at Euro 2012 or played in World Cup qualifiers had some extra rest.” “I thought Tim was unfortunate not to get some action with Holland.” “But he’ll come back to us raring to go for the new season.”
And even though the schedule of the pre-season games was only announced last Thursday, that hasn’t stopped some dedicated fans making the trip to Germany to see the lads in action.
Newcastle will play AS Monaco tonight at Landsberg am Lech in Germany, with a 7:00 pm local KO time, and the town is about 30 miles east of Munich, and Newcastle fans made the 300 mile train journey from Dresden and Chemnitz over the weekend.
And as we mentioned yesterday, some of the details of pre-season are still changing, with the match against Fenerbahce on Saturday now being played in Austria, at the Sonnenseestadion, which is the home of SC Ritzing, and not in Sopron in Hungary, as initially scheduled.
Kyocera Stadium, Den Haag, Holland
And as we had reported a week or so ago, Newcastle have confirmed they will play Tim Krul’s old club, Den Haag on August 4th, at the Kyocera Stadium, The Hague in Holland.
Here is the updated pre-season schedule:
| Date | Team | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Fri 13 July KO 6;30 pm | Chemnitzer FC - Lost 1-0 | Stadion an der Gellertstraße - Chermnitz, Germany |
| Mon 16 July KO 7:00 pm | AS Monaco - Won 1-0 | Landsberg am Lech, Germany |
| Sat 21 July KO 7:30 pm | Fernerbahce - Drew 1-1 | Sonnenseestadion, SC Ritzing, Austria |
| Fri 27 July KO 8:45 pm | Olympiacos - Drew 1-1 4-4 on penalties | Algarve Stadium, Faro, Portugal |
| Sat 28 July KO 8:45 pm | FC Braga - won 2-1 | Algarve Stadium, Faro, Portugal |
| Sat 4 August KO 5:00 pm | Den Haag - Drew 0-0 | Kyocera Stadium, Den Haag |
| Tues 7 Aug KO 7:30 pm | Hartlepool - Won 5-1 | Victoria Park, Hartlepool |
| Sat 11 Aug 3:00 pm | Cardiff - Lost 4-1 | Cardiff City Stadium |

Best EPL goalkeeper is back
2 Magpie from Lithuania // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:32 AM
Our defense play better then Krul is between the posts, they have confidense, they know they have their back safe,and it show in the play.
3 eaststandgeordie1982 // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:35 AM
Agreed hes a hell of a keeper will end up beign one of the best in the world
4 WWYCD // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:35 AM
Howay he’s not the best needs to be more vocal, bit flappy with crosses and poor distribution cracking shot stopper though
5 Tooooon // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:36 AM
Whos read the report from the irish independant saying that Debuchy has flown into Newcastle?
6 Beattie25 // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:38 AM
Does this now end the Carroll talk?
7 Tooooon // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:38 AM
Wait.. And are we not Porto this pre-season??
8 menzeuk // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:39 AM
sorry for double post from previous page but
not sure how reliable this is but found it this morning
http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/premier-league/liverpool-dismiss-magpies-move-for-unsettled-carroll-3168718.html?
2nd last paragraph states debuchy flew into newcastle last night? havent seen anyone else comment on this, any thoughts?
“Newcastle are close to completing one deal, with France full-back Mathieu Debuchy flying into England last night to seal a £7m move from Lille. Debuchy, a defender who impressed at Euro 2012, is expected to sign a four-year deal.” – for anyone that cant find it

More likely a brief pause in it lad
10 menzeuk // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:39 AM
oops Toooon beat me to it

replies from previous thread:
TorqToon – i agree mate. Personally i think that anyone that refuses to even consider the plus-side of having AC in the squad, or another tall/powerful striker for that matter, is just close-minded.
JDdubai – i don’t particularly like 4-4-2 but i would also rather we not play 4-3-3 (coincidentally also a part of the tiki-taka obsession). With the players we have available i would much rather play 4-2-3-1 but i suppose we have to adapt tactics depending on what opponent we are facing and so forth.
12 Hatem's better than Messi // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:40 AM
@Toooon
No we play FC Braga instead.
13 GeordieToon89 // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:40 AM
Joe Harts better but I love Krul
14 indian // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:41 AM

I’ll enjoy this moment before the thunder claps again.
So Tim Krul eh?
16 pieceofpapiss // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:43 AM
@Beattie25
Who?
17 Tooooon // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:44 AM
We’re playing shocking pre-season teams….
18 Beattie25 // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:45 AM
Tim Krul I think he is some Danish CB we’ve been linked with.
19 Brettoon // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:45 AM
I wish someone had some insight into the Debuchy deal…
20 ~Debuchery on a Dreamboat~ // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:45 AM
One habit of Krul that I hate is that he needlessly gives possession away by hoofing the ball back up the field.
9/10 times when he receives a back pass he cannons it forward. and the majority of the time the opposition regains possession.
Not sure if he is being told to do that or if he just does it out of habit. But he needs to sometimes pass it to the defence to build up play etc.

Haha enjoy the peace whilst u can
22 pieceofpapiss // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:46 AM
Toooon
Monaco, Fenerbache and Olympakos are all teams who normally qulify for the EUROPA league, Cardiff were close to promotion last season, Braga are a decent side and replaced Porto, who were Champions League qualifiers too.
23 pieceofpapiss // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:47 AM
@ Indian
KO = Kick Off
24 Beattie25 // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:47 AM
@ Debuchery
I suppose that won’t matter when Carroll signs. He can hoof all day long!
25 pieceofpapiss // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:47 AM
@beattie25 i meant the Guy your on about in your post at 6
26 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:48 AM
Good morning guys. Well I thought I’d had a stressful weekend….then i looked on here
Have me lost anyone is the hysteria? Have we done a head count?
Well, it is Monday morning, perhaps we should do a roster?
27 TorqToon // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:53 AM
We need some light shedding on everything to calm all our nerves!!
Where is Transfer Sage when we need him!?! He’s always ITK !!! Hahaha
28 estechco // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:55 AM
Does anyone else think the picture of the Kyocera Stadium looks like a train compartment?
29 ~Debuchery on a Dreamboat~ // Jul 16, 2012 at 9:56 AM
@Debuchery
Aye I suppose it won’t. Hoof it far enough so that its in the opposing box, and let carroll do the diving. We should get quite a few goals with those tactics
30 LEROI // Jul 16, 2012 at 11:36 AM
Debuchy arrived at a hotel on the quayside on saturday night sporting his kit bag & a bit of beard growth. He was spotted by a member of staff that shall remain nameless. (I would never post this unless i believed my sources. as it leaves me open to the usual ”name source” ”is he in the room next to barnetta” bla ha bla ha! =| )

We won 6 on the spin in a 433. Spain won 3 major tournaments. Like it or not, it’s a good system and it works.
Just maybe perhaps accept others know what they’re actually doing and aren’t wrong just because you don’t like it. necessarily. It’s not all about you is it.
