Is it time for us to replace Howard?

[deipnosophist]

those stats do not make good reading...particularly Chelsea's 8 shots, 6 goals!

I'm starting to agree with replacing him. Cost us both goals yesterday -- needlessly palmed the first effort right back into a scoring position and then thought Soldado would go near post and started going that way before the ball was even kicked. He's made some great saves, yes, but his mistakes have outweighed them.

Begovic or a cheeky bid for Cech , it's on

He could save your life on Saturday, yet lose to Spurs on Sunday and you're AIDS Howard.

I can't remember when winning at Spurs was so easy for us because the way some grown men are carrying on.

Toys/Pram.

No mate. Its the constant errors that are annoying people. Spurs just being the latest.

Well the stats show Howard is so terrible.
Below are the recorded Shots vs Goals converted for each game. 50 shots on goal with 21 goals. about 58% save percentage. 42% of the time Howard gives up the goal. Fire him.

Have to say Begovic hadn't been great last 16 months.

I'd still get him if the price was right though.

how strange is that logic when you want rid of howard after 4 months

Think he needs a move mate.

We should just throw 7-9mill at it and be done with it for ten years.

I've wanted rid of Howard for like 3 seasons mate. Thought he'd turned it round but apparently not.

I don't really know why you can't see it.

It might just be he needs the competition. He's not a bad keeper. But the errors are too much.

so last season when Howard had a really good year you still wanted rid

Yes.

Sorry no. By 'thought he'd turned it around' I meant last season and the World Cup. But I didn't make it clear. Sorry.

I think the competition thing is very valid though. Robles was competition last season, Howard did well. Robles is no competition now, Howard isn't doing well.
