Oddly enough a few people on here tried to make out a few weeks back Mignolet was better than Howard, out of interest which goal do people think was the worse to concede at the weekend? Him carrying to ball over the line or Sunderland scoring with a very well taken free kick?

Eh?

I must say I missed any posts where people said Mignolet was better than Timmy.

TH's "clever" move is one of the stupidest moment in his Everton career (and mind, he has a few).
He totally misjudged the speed of the ball and somehow ended up outside the box with the Sunderland player charging in.

duh

His positioning for that free-kick was terrible, not for the first time this season. He needs to be called on it.

Where would you expect him to be positioned?

On the bench

I don't like the way he leaves the near post free because he's relying totally on the wall blocking it then. And judging by the organisation of his wall the other day, that's not a good thing for us.

I think he would be better off standing more in the centre, or even nearer to the near post in those situations. Then if the freekick taker takes a great freekick and curls it in to the top corner at the far corner, you just have to accept it. But at the moment, he leaves the near side of the goal exposed and is unable to stop it.

You could tell from the moment they got that free kick that it was going to be a goal, that's how much faith I have in him.

Our Tim Howard has received a vote for the best keeper in the league! -> http://www.thesecretfootballer.com/...is-the-best-goalkeeper-in-the-premier-league/.

Haha well done Timmy, not so sure myself though!

Yes I found it absurd that the TV commentators on my live stream were lauding his "cleverness".

Tbf has anyone seen the wall for the sunderland free kick? Its hilarious. They are blocking the space to the left of the post.

He's standing on his line in the centre of the goal in line with the penalty spot (look at the vine), the wall should be covering that side of it does its job properly and he's ready for a shot coming in on his left hand side. Any further over to his left and then the side of the goal with the wall covering it is wide open.

You'd prefer Robles?

No not at all it was a joke.
I would prefer a new number 1 keeper though

Baine's reaction is how I currently feel about Everton.

You can see disappointment miles away.

Yeah because the plum gave away the freekick so cheaply

I think tim's positioning was fine, you don't set up a wall then stand behind it. The replay gif's might not be at a great angle but to me we had mc Geady, Lukaku and Distin all outside the line of his inside post. I am sure it must be the angle. plus our 2 tallest players are on the outside of the wall, god knows what Mc geadys doing kung fu practice I think.
