Howard or Mucha?

samcdavies94 · March 17, 2013

Did anybody notice how the fans cheered almost as if we had scored when he made the double save? I'd stick with him I think, might be harsh on Mucha to drop him without doing anything wrong

Keep him in net. His positioning and shot stopping is better than Howards, as is his ability to rush out and make himself big. Sure he punches a bit alarmingly, but at least you're confident he's going to get to the ball first.

If he doesn't get a run now, he never will.

One thing Mucha is better at than Howard is kicking the ball. His kicks are far more accurate

Think they're both awful at it, to be honest.

Honestly, it doesn't matter who is the better keeper.

Howard will go straight back in as soon as he's fully fit.

I thought Mucha did well the few times he had to kick it long yesterday

Mucha's pressure kicks are a little Howard but his set pieces are a lot more accurate, they actually go near Everton players.

Overall I don't see why you should drop a keeper in form. If Mucha plays well until Howard's ready then he should keep his place. Clean sheet ffs, it's been nearly two months.

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

Completely true.

To be honest, both of them aren't the long term answer.

Thought he played better yesterday than Howard has all season.

I'd give him another game even if Howard was fit.

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

This.

Not sure I've seen enough of him to say for sure. I suppose leave him in for a game or 2 when Howard's completely fit (barring a disaster by Mucha) just as added insurance on Timmy's recovery.

I will say, I thought he punched the ball out a little too often, though.

The smarmy patronising of Mucha by Hart in the tunnel yesterday, little sideways glancing and smiling to himself.

He who laughs last....

Have a feeling Howard is going to struggle to get fully fit when he comes back, I wouldn't throw a keeper right back in with a dodgy back therefore keep Mucha in, he's been on sizzling form. He's trying to prove us all wrong.
