Tim Howard

[Minimeister]

Might as was well play him tonight. The clown has already cost us the chance of doing anything in the league. Roll on the cups when we don't start every game -1.

I want Robles to be given a run in the 1st team instead of Howard but I don't think Howard has been responsible for us dropping as many points as some people are making out. Most of it's been god awful individual defending and a lack of fight to compete in the air from set pieces.

Howard is rubbish at coming out for set pieces and isn't vocal enough in regards to organising the defence but either way that doesn't excuse some of the poor defending from our defenders. Although I think Robles deserves a run I don't think the witchunt against Howard is all that fair. He's not been great but he's not as bad as some people are making out.

I keep forgetting that Tim faces every team alone so it's a fact that every goal is his fault.

 

[Minimeister]

Remember that time he let the West Brom player head the goal from about 3 yards out. Then a week later he let the Liverpool player head it in from 2 yards out. I remember thinking at the time, that's the teams fault, not Tim's. His experience is invaluable to the group.

If the central defenders were any good they would notice that Tim won't/can't catch the ball and head everything clear.

Be nice if he saved us from a few defensive errors like other keepers seem to occasionally like.

 

[Elong]

LOL he's starting again.

Who has actually said that by the way?

 

[Joey66]

Two good save so far looks like he's playing for his place as it should be!

 

[sageyefc]

Yerrrrrrssss, he made a save

 

[MikeH72]

Tim Howard made a decent save there. End times indeed

 

[ArtetaMoney]

His save was decent to be fair to him, Robles would have caught it with both hands and launched a counter attack for us though.

 

[Chang Elephant]

Tim's first clean sheet in three years ?

 

[toffee matt]

Still got it...

 

[thirdmantackle]

In fairness, he played well.

About time.
