FC Everton v VFL Wolfsburg

[AaronTheBlue]

Howard will play Europa and prem. Robles will play the two other cups IMO.

its the likes of you that are making him nervous!

He needs to pull himself together

He gets paid more in a week than I do in a year

This makes sense to me

can we try more carrot and less stick.. PLEASE

Robles is a joke, he looks like his limbs are held on with bits of frayed elastic.
Strongest team please, cannot understand anything less. This is our most important competition!

Which of course will add to the pressure.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Robles will end up as a decent keeper once he gets three things:

Confidence in himself

Proper backing of the fans and not the shambles of 'support' he gets by the majority of supporters.

Game time under his belt.

He's still young for a goalkeeper and has all the attributes to be a really good goalkeeper for us, and eventually he will be.

He's rated highly by our staff for a reason.

I do think it''s unfair to call Robles gash and say he's not good enough. I do think he's good enough, but it's hard for a goalkeeper to come in and play a competitive game every 3-4 months, even outfield players struggle to do that.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Also, not saying he will be the same but Big Nev started out badly crap, and got loaned out because of it.

Goalkeepers take time.

exactly, the poor chap...really should play for the u21's i dont get why he doesnt..

 

[Blandyboi]

I just cant forget how scared and timid he looked in the net last year against arsenal.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Also, not sure if you've clicked on to this yet like, but there can be a middle ground between great and gash.

We're not discussing that

We're discussing whether him or Tim Howard should start

I seem to recall Shane Duffy never doing anything wrong either, but that didn't seem as good an argument to you

Strange how that argument is fine when it's a player you like but not when it's one you don't. Very strange indeed

He was scared ? Christ I wet myself.

Spot on. We will get a lot more out of young players if we allow them time to develop instead of writing them off at the first sign of mistakes.

If he doesn't come good then sound, he will be moved on. But we are being very harsh indeed on Robles for the time being.

It's too bad in this day and age you couldn't get a surprise, like Ross starting...
