Joel Robles

Couldn't watch the game, but Griffiths mentioned a ball that came in that Robles punched where Stones yelled at him that he should have held it. Anyone know the incident he was talking about or if it was as bad as he made it sound? Anyways, sounds like possibly apart from that blip he had a solid performance, nice to have some pressure on Howard.

He had a solid very good game made a fantastic punch, only TIm could dream off take no notice of Dithering Doug!

Remember when Howard's cotton wool wrists punched it in his own net against Chelsea?

Do you mean his first game back heading for a draw and he palmed the ball away straight to him for him to score costing us a point, by gifting the ball to William on the edge of the box - Doug thought that was ok?

Oh yeah there was that one as well. I was referring to the one in
February (?) 2014 though

He was so assured last night and had his best game for us.
The defence looked less nervous and he should start against palace

...I thought he was fine. There was one cross he took in his midrif late on that could have been embarrassing had a forward nipped in ahead of him but generally he was sound.

His distribution is generally excellent, in particular made one throw that seemed to make it almost to the halfway line straight to anEverton players feet (Barkley?) that instantly had Boro on the back foot.

C'mon mate, he should have done better but he managed to snuff it out and you'd expect Oviedo to clear it. http://gfycat.com/SmoggyHandyCarpenterant

It's like no one even tries to be objective about players here, everyone just sees what they want to see.

Just watched it pathetic from Tim - look where Robles punched it last night out of the danger area out for a throwing well away sidewards terrific punch from the danger area " are you watching Tim" - that goalkeeping by Tim sums him up as being rubbish , and costing us points probably had his eyes shut again!

That throw out to barkley was boss, about 60 yards inch perfect

He must be gutted he'll be out of the team yet again Monday,loved his celebrations in front of us for the goals too!

Thing is the lad needs to play and get games under his belt. Criminal that clown is ahead of him.

If it is the one I am think of it was very close to the goalposts and he felt it was a safer bet to clear the ball , and clear the ball he did as I think it went straight out for a throw. I didn't think he did much wrong.

 

[Zatara]

If we make the league cup final will he start?

He could add to his FA Cup medal...as a wigan loanee and our reserve keeper.

Not bad going!!

Also think hes earned a start in the league...

Okay that makes sense, couldn't see the incident for myself so was just going off what Griffiths/Jags said.

There is no evidence at the moment that Robles is not good enough for us. He is young and could develop into one of the best goalkeepers around - but we will never know unless he is given a decent run in the team
