Excellent work again from our dopey looking Catalan custodian,viva Joel
Superb performance from Joel, some great saves. 2 points out of 6 could easily have been 0 points out of 6 without some crucial saves. Still a way to go with him but there's certainly a few positives I reckon.

Great again!!
did well needs to command his area a bit more but coming along nicely, better than i expected if i am honest.
RM is going to give TH one last farewell game pity it was not two seasons ago!
Robles is doing the basics correct, and making some very good saves with his hands too!
Proved his confidence is growing v Palace tonight only if he would have got his place sooner?
More points on the board that's for sure!

hmm.
I've been doing a bit of thinking on it really.
People keep saying to me, Yes Joel IS good, he's a good premier league goalie, but we need better.
But.. i'm looking at his abilities now, and what he does, which is impressive, and i compare it to his negatives (his positioning sometimes, and sometimes his command of area) and his negatives are things that only come with game time.
I do think it'd be great to go out there and get a ready made top quality keeper, but i actually fully believe and will stand by, with game time Joel robles could become a quality keeper.
He has already improved radically from his first season, where he only had shot stopping and kicking, now he makes much better decisions, his closing down of the forwards is much better, and his closing down of angles has improved, but still needs to improve further.
I think for a keeper, he is still young, he is still inexperienced and in some cases that does show, because he hasn't been able to go on and play a 100 odd games in lower leagues, if he plays a hundred odd games for us he will become a similar level to someone like Butland, because he has natural ability.
A few games this season, and definitely last season he has kept us in games, and with a better organised defence he would rack up a lot of clean sheets, that's something that a (hopefully new) manager will sort out, and it'll save us a lot of money to spend elsewhere.

We need a new goalkeeper in the summer no matter what. I don't like the idea that we purposefully go out looking for a backup. I could see going out and getting someone who's a bit more of a risk (high ceiling, low floor) because we think if he doesn't work out we're still comfortable with Joel, but going out and lowballing the market to sign someone like Shay Given or Mark Schwarzer because they'll be happy as a backup just seems like a waste.

I suspect as with Distin last year versus Spurs, Howard will come off the subs bench v Norwich in our final PL game of the season.
Probably in the FA Cup Final just to popcorn us one last time
What more do you want out of a keeper who has given us a draw in the last two games yet for him it would have been defeats ?????
TBH you would moan at Degea!

The only thing that unites the team and the fanbase at the moment is the desperate need of a hero.
It shouldn't have to be the keeper but Joel has history of this; he was immense against City in the final for Wigan.
He's been very good the last two games and I'm sure Joel realises that, between now and the end of the season, he can finally determine his own fate. He can be first choice for Everton if he brings us glory in the cup. He knows that competition for his place will be coming in the summer.
He's had to wait a while for this. Step up Joel, lad.
