The Dutch goalkeeper suggests the squad is "too small" and suffers when the big names are missing.
Tim Krul: “No (we’re not over relying on him), but he’s a big player.
“He’s a world class striker and it’s the same for every team.
"If you’re missing a world class striker like Loic it’s going to hurt you and today missing Debuchy also did.
"I’m not saying we don’t have the quality to replace them but you do miss that extra bit of quality.
“We’ve had key players out at different times and it shows how much of an impact missing those players has. (Chiek) Tiote, (Fabricio) Coloccini, Debuchy, (Yoan) Gouffran. They’re massive players for us and unfortunately we haven’t coped well without them.
“At home it will be different.
“It didn’t go for us at Fulham, but hopefully it will at St James’ Park.”
