Tim Howard

[sageyefc]

As stated earlier in the thread, today should be his neville vs wigan moment. Judging by things theres no debate anymore, the fan base is mostly all in favor of him jogging on now, just hope Martinez picks up on that

 

[Elong]

He'll be playing in the next match though.

I don't blame Howard in the least.

Today's calamities were typical of the way he has played all season.

We all saw it....both matchgoers and TV watchers.

It us no coincidence that our season started to come alive again after he was injured and the previously maligned Joel started breathing confidence into both the fans and the defenders in front of him.

Now we are plunged right back into the doubts we had over the goalkeeping which totally undermined the first half of the season.

But it ain't Tim's fault.

Every bugger and his dog knew how badly he had been playing and how much better we looked when he was out injured. Not too many were surprised at that today.

Every bugger except one.

Roberto Martinez fetched him back straight in for no apparent good reason.....and as such I lay the blame for the two points dropped today at his feet.

Mate, I know where you're coming from and I agree with you to a degree, but my patience with Howard has run out. He did gift Leicester two goals today and very nearly a third, he does not command his area, his distribution is terrible - only an idiot plays a long ball out of his area in the air towards Lennon, the smallest player in the team.

I'll nail my colours to the mast, I do not want to see him play for Everton again. Robles was improving and didn't deserve to be usurped Howard, and yes that was a terrible decision by El Bob.

Howard though is a liability, way past his best and his best has never been good enough.

Thursday? Deffo.

I'm not convinced he'll be playing vs arsenal, though. Martinez is slow to change things but it does happen.

I'm only hoping he's getting played to keep his price up for the MLS as a prem starting keeper.

The Man U games a prime example, we lost 2-1 because of our goalie they won 2-1 because of theirs, a pen save and 2 world class saves came the 3 points of which Howard wouldn't have saved any of the 3

If he was that good why did Fergy sell him 8/9 years ago?

I truly hope so mate. What a downer!

Almost single handedly lost us the game.

To be fair, De Gea saved a pi55 poor penalty by Baines.i

 

[Anna]

Bobby has the perfect excuse to drop him and still save relative face by using the young boys game to stick Robles in, he can say he wanted to rest Howard and then just quietly not put Howard back in, he won't though

 

[ijjysmith]

I hate him.

Utterly loathe him.

My Nan is a better keeper than this clown.

They, your Nan and Tim Howard, interestingly have much in common.

• Both insist on shooting outside their box.
• Both are happy at being destroyed after offering gifts to strange men.
• Both are many years past their best.
