Howard

[Tubey]

Just seen it again on football first, not Howard's fault in the slightest.

 

[Neiler]

Thought he was gash for the goal, barely made an effort and was to far of his line, beaten at his near post - sorry lads from that distance in the PL you expect better.

Heitinga badly powder puff for it also.

Thought he was a little bit out of position for the goal. the shot was no where near the corner(of the goal) yet he failed to get anywhere near it.He was a bit to far left, apart from that he done every thing he needed to.

Seen the behind the goal replay on a stream and thought the goal looked huge and his body midget esc , didn't make much ground toward the actual ball either

 

[Bluenose1995]

would love begovic class keeper for stoke

 

[Royal Blue Jersey]

Dodgy again

 

[Slavan]

another howard botch for the goal.

 

[Del]

Defo had some blame for the goal

He just stood there and watched the ball instead of coming out and smothering it

Sooner we get a replacement the better

^What?

Three defenders surround a player and Howard is to blame? In previous weeks he was. Absolutely no doubt. But you guys are being ridiculous if you call the goals in the last two games on him.

Distin missed his header. Plain and simple.

Tim has now put together two solid games - two games in which I've seen him catch the ball a bunch more. Hope it's a sign of upward momentum. He's got a lot to make up this year.

EDIT: Just read micknick's comment on Howard coming out from goal in the game thread. Fair point, still think to blame him this week is a stretch. He hasn't made any bonehead errors in two games. That's a good trend - though not anything to be celebrated. It's his job. Hope he keeps it up.

Did well today, he was let down by his defenders for both of their goals. Everything he had to do he did fairly well. Hopefully he's getting back up to his old standard.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Solid today. Think he much prefers Sylvain and Jags in front of him. Heitinga doesn't do marking or jumping from crosses.

 

[Dell Boy]

very good show today from Howard. Hopefully that's him back to top form now.

 

[Blue Truth]

he was good but i think a top keeper would have done better for their second

 

[Zatara2]

If a top keeper was wearing the number 1 Jersey we would be at least 10 goals better off SO FAR this season.

 

[BlueAdair]

He had a good game I thought. No complaints here.
