We're not even winning the passing. What a rubbish season.

 

[Donald Twain]

Howard getting laced again! Dougie?

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

So Howard's terrible. Who would have known?

 

[hetion]

The worst save percentage in the league, behind the second worst by 4.38%. No other goalkeeper is behind any other by more than 2.37%.

Statistics, especially goalkeeper ones, are awful. But to be that much of an outlier...

I hope you can all produce a video to back up your hurtful criticism of dear Tim.

A good representation of Tim's reaction time this season...

I don't need statistics to tell me he's crap.

 

[Dymak]

Is everyone OK with us starting with the worst goalkeeper in the league next season?

He lets in 1 out of 16 in the USA WC game but is now letting in 7 out of 16!

He's always had issues with his positioning and late movement when facing shots from distance but now he also seems to have lost a split second in his reflexes. Not good.

 

[Huyton Layne]

So this is saying the Naismith is far better at finishing than Lukaku?

Howard's had a poor season but so has the team yet he has done well in some of the Europa games, but you could count on one hand the decent games he's had in the prem

That is startling. He only has 4/24 clean sheets this year as well. Robles has 3 from 7 games. If you look in more detail, Howard has conceded n average of 1.5 goals per game whereas Robles only conceded 0.85 goals per game.
I always rated Howard but this year he has been calamitous.

 

[Toby the Rhymedog]

Which way did he go, Timmy Howard?
After the World Cup, in which he towered,
Now he just sits there,
Into the distance he stares,
Like a virgin that's being deflowered
