Joel Robles

[Bubba]

Some of the blame should also go to Martinez mate for being so stubborn/loyal and for earlier bringing him back in when Robles was in such good form.

But I supposed he paid the ultimate price (eventually!!). Martinez would possibly still have been our manager if he'd stuck with Robles.

All of the blame mate

Players don't pick themselves

I was a child when I was last optimistic about our keeper.

Its made a massive difference having a competent keeper. Not rocket science really but something our previous manager couldn't grasp

I would like to think that, but having lived through the starjump era I can't say I agree with it

Im not sure whether its more the replacement of Jags with Funes Mori, or Robles, but we have had 4 clean sheets in our last 5 league games.

Robles when's the last time you have seen a keeper of ours run out in a packed box and catch a ball like yesterday his confidence is getting better he'd have punched that before - he's rightly claiming his right to be our no 1 keeper?

looks like he's knocked stek into the number 2 slot rightly so

still not sure about either of them though however and we definitely need a top number one in the summer without doubt

Cast your mind back to 2014

Howard was injured and Robles came in for 7 league games, The first being the Derby, He kept 4 clean sheets in that period and was dropped for the clown once he was fit

Spot on I said at that time it may cost RM his job the points Timmy cost us with his star jumps , his eyes closed, stuck to his line like glue cost us many many points!
It was the sign of an aging keeper , but RM refused to drop Timmy?
RK yesterday officially dropped the Stek - good on him!

Robles or Stek? What a horrible choice. In fact not a choice at all. Both are pretty poor.

If Joel keeps clean sheets we don,t need a keeper other than a back up as Steks age is against him next season!

Why would you say Robles is poor in your opinion?

Poor post totally out of step with most posters on Joel!

Have you seen Everton at all this season?

What is a "top number one".

Bravo was supposed to be one of that ilk but he is impressing no one.

Hart is not a great goalkeeper in my eyes.

Lloris was comical yesterday when City scored their two goals.

De Gea and Courtoise are not leaving their current clubs any time soon (unless De Gea goes to Real)

I think as things stand now the goalkeeping position is no longer a major problem for us and if Joel keeps it going the rest of this season then he becomes our number one and IMO will himself soon join the ranks of "top number ones".

I have been one of Joel's critics in the past but I am delighted to see a marked improvement , especially in commanding his area and coming for crosses....as previous posters have said, he is still young and hopefully will have his best years ahead of him...well done son.....

 

[MikeH72]

Remember his basically gifting goals nearly every game

So glad the likes of him, Hibbert, Osman and Martinez are a distant memory

What's this myth he was good until his last season? He was atrocious, I couldn't stand him either the arrogant little hole.
