Howard or Robles in Goal against Arsenal in FA Cup

[Roztitute]

Sadly this.

Its without question our biggest game of the season, I know we have had 1 of them every week, but considering our utter dire current league form/position, we need this, BIG TIME.

I concur entirely.

Robles is trying his best but this is our most important game of the season, especially seeing as 4th is too far away now. Play Howard please Roberto.

Robles - let 1 goal in so far commands his penalty area - we look better defending set pieces when he is in goal!

Do you think Robles is a better keeper than Howard?

I personally dont, but hes still young and hes defo not terrible, I just think we should play without question our best team and for me that as it stands, means Howard.

I'd go with Robles...
Life on the edge

Robles can't pass the ball, like.

We might as well just have given the ball to swansea every time it went to our goalie, like.

He let one in against Stevenage in the league cup, two against Fulham in the league cup and one against Swansea in the FA cup. I think the game Howard was suspended for was the game against Southampton where he got beaten from way out because he was off his line too.

I think he will be a very good keeper though one day, just not quite yet. Maybe he will prove himself against Arsenal.

Absolutely needs to be our first choice eleven, which means Howard.

It will be Robles.

 

[ultimateblue]

Robles has great potential, but we need to start with our best eleven for me it has to be Tim.

 

[BluenosePaul]

Shouldn't even be a debate. Madness if its Robles

 

[toffee matt]

Biggest game of the season requires the best players.

Howard is our best keeper so must start

not sure it's particularly set-pieces we need to worry about with arsenal.

however, he is a sweeper keeper imo and his coming off his line quickly could prove to be an advantage to us over howard's stagnation in such circumstances.

 

[parkendkev]

Got to play our strongest line up, barring injuries or suspensions, it's our last chance of getting silverware. So it's Tim Howard for me.

 

[Bungle]

Howard for me, I think Robles is decent but I'd rather the latter stages of the cup were reserved for our strongest 11.

 

[Dymak]

It will be an absolute disgrace if he doesn't pick his strongest 11.

I'm not entirely sure what more can be said.

Robles will play I think. He was Martinez's cup keeper last season. And ours this.

But I'd be shocked if anyone of us wouldn't rather Howard play.
