This is the problem for me, no matter who starts, we're likely to concede today. Joel concedes, it's an easy excuse to drop him for Howard against Leicester, and assess in the offseason, or to maybe give Joel one more chance against Leicester.

If Howard concedes several goals, well we can't just go back to Joel because this is hardly a fair chance for Howard to reclaim his spot after he's been injured for so long. It's just baffling any way you look at it.

His ball distribution is also far superior to Howard, would be a mistake to bring back Howard

Yes.....he turns defence into attack very quickly.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I think he is very unlucky there

Disgusted quite frankly. Howard better have the game of his life now or a sh*t-storm is going to rain down on Martinez.

Hand in that transfer request Joel.

People used to say that half the reason Howard was playing so crap was cause he had no competition.

Well now after seeing how well Joel has been playing he'll know he has some competition and will up his game accordingly.

Well, that or he'll know he'll play even after Joel proving himself decent competition so Howard will probably attempt a few keepie uppies from back passes tonight cause he knows even if he gets tackled and they score he still won't get dropped.

Excellent message to everyone on the fringes, that.

Have a solid run of games, get dropped at the first opportunity.

it's annoying that Joel has been dropped; he's clearly playing well and growing in confidence. Martinez appearing to be scared of dropping one or two players it seems!
