Tim Howard

[ilikecheese]

Howard makes them more than most though, that's the problem.

Nah mate...he did last season for sure I won't deny that, but we tend to be overly judgemental because we watch the 90 with interest week in and week out.

If you watch other teams with the same scrutiny you'd see that most goals are the keepers fault one way or the other.

Should Barkley get beat to a header by the man he's marking and is 6 inches taller than?

But if Howard does his job like any other keeper in the world would do then does Barkley need to win that header? I am not saying Barkley doesn't take any blame but which should come first

 

[marsh]

We need a goalie who our defence has confidence in

 

[GrandOldTeam]

With Howard, it doesnt seem to be a case of how many points he will earn us over the season - more how many he will cost us.

so our over judgmental attitude leads us to not realising howard is as good as de gea? honestly you americans

 

[evertonarntwe]

Barkley is rewoned for loosing his man for corners so why does he continually get put on strikers/defenders ( the players who are always going to attack the ball ) just let him stand at the near post or pick up a midfielder/smaller lad. Howard comes to punch/catch we're not even talking about this

 

[The Esk]

Two games, almost identical goals conceded. Every premier league team will try the same tactic.

Very poor.

Is that what I said? Look at Naismith hat trick from Chelsea's perspective. Keeper could be blamed for all three.

it's pretty much what you said, comparing howards mistakes to de gea's supposed mistake, then saying its only because we watch howard much we slate him, pretty much saying they are as good as each other, the only thing blinkered here is american fans opinion of this terrible keeper

 

[Zatara]

If the Yarmolenko money was there he should have used it on Butland.

Clearly the Americans on here rate him a lot more highly than others so hopefully a club over there will drop some cash on him

 

[Joey66]

So it's Barkley mistake that leads to the chance, yes?

NO!

Nah mate. Not what I'm saying at all. I noticed you failed to address Naismith's hat trick.

I humbly accept your surrender.

Of course Barkley should try and win his header, if not what's the point of marking players?

 

[Joey66]

Howard can use his hands though doug

Thats two corners 2 goals conceded in two games Doug it has to be the Keeper sometime in TH case. most teams have sussed him out!
He could not catch a cross if he was given one in Church Doug - its his main weakness I have always stated it!

I would not put a single one of Naismith's goals in the same category as howard mistakes in the last two games, as he is the worse keeper in the league by some distance, the sooner he pisses off back home the better frankly, I won't be giving it any of this great servant crap either, for me he is somewhere between espen baardsen and paul gerrard
