The Joel Robles Fanboy Thread.

[RyanGordon]

Was well pleased with him tonight.

Commanding his area, speaking to his defence (YES!!!!!) and looked like a man growing in confidence.

I've said it before but he kept de gea out of all the Spanish teams and played 1st team football at Atletico as a teenager. De Gea looked awful when he first came to the country (by no means am I saying Joel will turnout the same way) but it's only fair we give him time to settle and hopefully he can cement a place and stop the 'immediate' need for a new GK.

He's young, get behind him and let him fulfil his potential here. It's about time we replaced Howard anyway.

Forza Joel Robles.

He's the best young keeper I've seen and is the second coming of Southall. Just you watch now.

Pffft...better.

Shades of Straq's much slighter cousin.

Robles, you the captain now.

 

[ilikecheese]

You can't teach giant...

comedy moments when he was time wasting at 1-1 - punching the ball into the stands when it'd gone out for a corner and then when he took the ball just lying on it, until 15,000 (by then) angry evertonians started screaming at him to get on with it.

Last time he played often was at wigan so that makes sense!

Ah this total and utter myth once again,

Joel played 7 games (at least 2 as a sub) for Spains age group sides in his whole life

De Gea played 63 games

De Gea was also playing for the Athletico 1st before Joel (who was never 1st choice there) depsite being an age group younger

He started one game as a teenager and that was the last game of the season in a dead rubber in which they got beat 3-0 (De Gea was being rested for the Europa League final)

No confidence, nervous, unsure.
If he gets more confident and self-sure he could be alright. Needs a good coach.

 

[L4Everton]

Making that first reply look a bit silly. Been brilliant tonight, goon on him.

Well in Mirallas.

 

[IRO1977]

I've been one of his biggest critics but he looked decent saturday and very good today fair play

 

[ijjysmith]

STOP JINXING HIM

 

[daz4matty]

Played really well tonight hope there is no call from obama

 

[tiny_jacky]

2 saves, 7 crosses claimed and a clean sheet.

He's doing fine. Scrutinizing him is probably a waste of time at the moment, he could go either way. Hopefully the way where he replaces Howard.
