Tim Howard

Martinez keeping Howard in the team for so long isn't just affecting our position in the league, it's harsh on Howard too. If he's not good enough he's not good enough, and he's not picking himself every week. He should have been dropped a year ago and then his relationship with the Everton fans wouldn't have soured like it has now, after we've all seen him wheeled out once a week only to flap and star jump over balls as they roll into our net.
Howard doesn't help himself with the crap he comes out with. Hes got his head up his ass the arrogant sod
 
When he palms the ball away (poorly) there's 5 defenders in the box to 3 Stoke attackers, yet Galloway and Mori are no way near to closing the attacker down and getting a block in.

He's partly culpable for that goal but again others have switched off when the balls in our box and not done their jobs. That's before you look at how easy it was again to get a cross into out box.

If he doesnt dive at the ball a defender hooks the ball clear. The fact his feable attempt of a save parried it straight to a Stoke player is the sole reason they scored.
 
He's playing in the Spurs game and the semi final, he's the best keeper we've got and the stats show he's one of the best in the league.

People are looking at Howard and ignoring the chaotic defending going on because they're either ignorant, have a personal dislike or are just plain old stupid.

Luckily Martinez and a few others realise it's not a problem with the goalkeeper and we'd still be conceding goals even with Neville Southall in goal. It's a wider problem of inexperience in crucial areas, poor individual mistakes and bad luck. At some point the tide will turn and we'll be keeping clean sheets again but it won't be with Robles in goal.

No one is ignoring the chaotic defending Douglas, it's a problem that needs addressing as well. However the fact of the matter is, we were 3-2 up with 15 minutes to go against Stoke despite our chaotic defending, and who knows we might have even got a 4th as the momentum was with us. However, a horrific individual error from your best mate gifted them a goal out of absolutely nothing, at a time when they had rarely threatened for ages, wiping out our lead. How you can deny that Howard's error massively swung the game in their favour is baffling.

As for the last statement, how on earth can you say that? The tide will turn and Howard will suddenly stop being absolutely gash for the first time in 4 years and start keeping clean sheets? It's not happening Doug. We're leaking goals left right and centre with that clown, how can Robles do any worse?
 
Your right there Dougie about the other defenders except for Mori, watch it again and Howard nearly breaks the poor fellas legs in two as he flaps at the ball.

One thing I do know though mate, if I was Tim Howard I would hire you to do my pr because out of every shytstorm Howard causes, you always find the rainbow amidst the madness ;)

Yet again, Dougie misses the point and underlines how little knowledge of football he has.

The reason we have 5 in the 6 Yard box? Because not one of them reckons that Howard can command his 6 yard box.

The man is a liability; the reason so they are so deep and ergo in there own 6 yard box is because they have a goalie who doesn't command his area.

If he did, why would they be so deep? They wouldn't; exactly.

Embarrassing now.

Robles will play in the semi final definitely; he played in the FA Cup final and will almost certainly play. I think he will play v Spurs, City, Dagenham and then who knows.
 

Hey, he took it to the fans after another poor performance

There's no way back for him now as far as I'm concerned

Not going to wish death upon him, but I want him out of the club

Contrast his behaviour with Kevin Mirallas

Howard is a teacher's pet who gets picked every week no matter what. As soon as fans give him reasonable criticism, he lashes out

Kev is being frozen out over a petty grudge. He's getting his head down, playing as well as he can and is also treating the supporters with gratitude

Tim Howard can do one. Every day he plays for our club now is a disgrace unless he apologises for his comments

Simple. As

Well that's me told, You said Hey and simple. I'm on about the insults Mikey not arsed if je ever plays for us again myself. read the info minge.

I think Robles will deffo play the 2 cup games,not sure about Spurs. It's the same as last season though where if he did bring Robles in now the pressure is massive on him to perform.

I would like him in now and just let him find his feet. Biggest month of the season is coming up and something needs to change regarding personel at the back

Yeah you're right Macca of course it's Mori he collides with, for some reason I thought it was Stones but he's marking fresh air again. The point still stands that there's two players that get nowhere near stopping that ball and the overall defending is all over the show.

It's easy pointing the finger at Howard, seems a hobby for some on here at times regardless of the fact the defenders are making awful errors and it's like watching schoolboys at times yet no one mentions it.

Doug put your glasses back on and look again when he should stay on his line he comes out to a very dangerous outswinging cross, when mostly he is static on line - he banjaxes our centre half Mori who is ready to clear the ball - he flaps the ball to their player who scores it does not matter how many defenders you have when your clown of a keeper does that - maybe he needs glasses too Doug -
you are defending the indefensible - that was the turning point 10 minutes left and he does that!
Then we have our Captain defending him on that particular goal - why because he gave the ball away to start that attack RM is to blame by playing a Keeper who has shipped in SEVEN goals in our last two home games all ending up as defeats!
Robles will and can do better he has proved that in last season and in the league cup this season !
Doug persisting with Tim is going to lose us our star players as we will finish too low in the prem!

Joe you and others have been persistently saying he's stuck on his line and needs to come for more balls, whether he takes a defender or two out it's doesn't matter apparently. Now he's done it it's the wrong thing to do!!

As I said he's got to take part responsibility for that goal, but others like Kone, Coleman, Stones, Mori, Galloway, Naismith and Barry all contributed to us conceding that not just Howard.

The crucial fact here is that 3 of our back four are very young and very inexperienced at this level. Mistakes and lapses in concentration will happen with these players as they learn and grow together, it wouldn't matter what goalkeeper was behind them they always hand the opposition chances until they start learning and growing.

Yes Doug But a Good keeper has to use his Judgement He is the one with the gloves on Doug where was his strong punch?????- Tim if he has to think about doing anything critical in goal is useless instinctive saves he can do them occasionally not good enough for the last 18 months -
look at this article -
With Everton battling back brilliantly from 2-1 down to lead 3-2, the American parried a cross straight into the path of Joselu, who equalized. It was a critical point in the game and once again, a moment in which the ‘keeper was found wanting. Read more at: https://tr.im/jJRjH

Doug please go to specsavers along with our Manager as you two would get us relegated sticking with this Goalkeeping clown!

Why could he have not turned it round the post for a corner? that baffles me. I have seen this before he tends to palm the ball into play instead of out.
