Tim Howard

[Stephenlloyd]

Are you telling me RM is not using a quality Goalkeeper no wonder we are letting goals in - Robles needs a run in the team Tims control of his box has gone!

Agree 100%
Never rated the guy from the 1st couple of seasons
How he's lasted this long is a disgrace
Sick of saying it buy would have been bombed out years ago from the likes of Liverpool & Spurs
And plenty of mid table teams too

A few fans were chatting with southall on Twitter after the game and he said, he told the club to go for Hennessy years ago

If we finish mid table Rom & stones will be gone
And we have to start again the only bonus is we should have over a 100mil to spend

90 mill of that will find somewhere else to go...

I have to say after getting a good look at it on MOTD just now that the concession of the second penalty was terrible goalkeeping.

Vardy was going nowhere......a fact reflected in the fact the ref produced only a yellow card.

IMO Tim should have had the wit to pull his arms back when he realised this instead of inviting Vardy to fall over them.

And if he didn't realise it then he should have.

Done with you...3 years on, not a damn thing's changed. I try to stay level but I can't handle your poison anymore.

ha ha
I can remember that game well
We just started to drop deeper and deeper
You just knew what was coming
The reverse fixture around March time at their place
We were 1-0 up with 5 mins to go and lost 2-1
They scored a virtually identical goal to the goodison one a header about 2yards out
Howard's fan club will have you believe he's only been poor for 18months though

The other thing about the goodison game Moyes had a sub think it may have vellios? Warming up for about 20mins and stripped for about 5mins
He threw him on after they scored with about 2mins left
And some people would like Moyes back

He's in goal because Robles probably isn't much better? And because Martinez is manager. We need a top class keeper well a good one lol lol lol

What is that [Poor language removed]

When was the last time he actually saved a penalty?

 

[Alex Hindmarsh]

Dunno if anyone Bournemouth v United last week? But Stanislas had exactly the same situation against De Gea, but he stood up tall, made the chance difficult and dived on the ball. Watching it back last night, from the moment the pass is made he's decided he's coming out, just pure naivety, and for a keeper who's played for his experience, it was baffling, another game passes by with another error. Even if Vardy had gone round him and scored, then the blame diminishes, but the way he conceded the pen takes the biscuit.

One probably the best goalkeeper in the world, the other isn't. There's the difference.

Did you see all the match? You know the bit were Stanislas took a corner and DeGea waved it into the top corner?

That's a separate incident, I'm talking about how two keepers dealt with the same situation, and it's not even down to De Gea being a top keeper, it's because the basic goalkeeping principle is not to go to ground when a strikers looking for contact.

Given it's a split second decision, there is a level of sympathy, but he's been in the situation enough times to know what to do.

I'm hoping that Tim will save a shot in the next game as a Christmas present to the fans

So you're unhappy because Howard isn't as good as De Gea?

Well your going to equally as unhappy with any goalkeeper we get in I'd imagine.
