How is it even possible for a keeper to be as injury prone as he is?

This is one of the best saves I've ever seen:

Sign her up Moyes, she's better than Howard.

Tim is out of form no doubt and needs competition but is Gordan better?? Not sure...

If you put together Howard's best 10 he'd look world class!!

ha well the least i could hope for is a keeper that doesn't need crutches to play like

This is probably worth doing solely to give Howard a kick up the arse, since he obviously doesnt go to sleep at night worrying that Mucha is going to take his place off him.

Harsh. The whole Sunderland team was rubbish that day, you can hardly blame Gordon. I don't think he even made a mistake in that game, did he?

You're probably right that was abit harsh, but this doesn't exactly excite me, I don't think he's proved that he's even better than Howard.

 

[Ring master]

Am i going mad as i thought he was at Goodison not to long ago viewing it,having as trail or whatever.

Howard knows that it would take something catastrophic for Mucha to start ahead of him. On his day Gordon is a top 'keeper. I imagine that we'd take him on an extended trial like we did with Hitzlsperger to prove his fitness and then offer him a contract until the end of the season. Mucha will be leaving in the summer anyway, so we could have ourselves a ready-made replacement.

 

[mightymoyes]

we missed the boat and shouldve snapped up mcgregor on a free like naismith when he was available.

 

[daz4matty]

Why didn't we do this in august even moyes knows mucha is awful.

One problem I've noticed with Howard is that he always seems so tiny in his goal. Top keepers like Hart and Buffon always seem to look massive in their goals. It's probably to do with their angles more than their actual size, as Howard's 6'3. He always seems rooted and takes up poor positions.

The psychological effect of seeing a keeper dwarf his goal is surely substantial. I just think other teams aren't at all scared of Howard, and strikers probably fancy themselves when they're bearing down on his goal.

Gordon always struck me as someone who's agile and he can make saves over every inch of his goal. I think that's definitely something Howard doesn't have.
