Howard or Mucha?

Joao Moutinho · March 17, 2013

When Howard returns to fitness, not sure how long that will be though, would you put him straight back in or keep Mucha in goal?

Azzurri · March 17, 2013

Yesterday was the only time he really had anything to do and he did it well so leave him in I say.

Mucha has done nothing wrong to be dropped.

But I bet as soon as Howard is back he comes straight back in.

Howard

Even though he made two top saves yesterday he does make me feel nervous every time the ball goes near him

He was fantastic yesterday. Not seen enough yet to displace Howard. However after yesterday's performance I wouldnt mind him staying put.

But he should be kept in if he is peforming, it's basic management of skills in the team.

Maybe he will treat it like Heitinga and Jagielka last season. Johnny was playing well and kept his place.

Howard would have stayed on his line for those saves Mucha did yesterday.

his punching when he should of caught was poor, he got lucky there..but his shot stopping was good and he seemed to be good at encouraging those around him

To be fair, Howard deserves a chance to win his place back. All those years of loyal service, he deserves a fair shake when it comes to getting in the team. I honestly don't care which one gets it so long as it's the best one for the job

doubt it - he will treat it like he did with duffy and drop him even though he didn't deserve it

Interesting points from someone before Saturdays game on Mucha:

I think Saturday will prove how much we need Howard. Mucha is going to see a fair bit of the ball. I'm expecting a disaster.

I'm not being harsh. He's a dodgy keeper. He's done ok now but blunders are just around the corner IMO

Howard's a competent keeper miles better than Mucha.

I'm not being harsh. He's dodgy and that's not just based on his last two performances.

Watch him have a blinder on Saturday now. He's going to see enough of the ball anyway. I predict he wont do us any favours. I'll eat my words no doubt.

Know his stuff.
