He is making a rod for his own back here.

This is not a game for a goalkeeoer who had been playing badly before an injury to come straight back in again after a lay off......particularly as the understudy really stepped up.

If Tim has a 'mare this evening Bobby will be righteously lambasted.

If he really feels rhe need to fetch him back then Leicester at home next up woukd be the obvious choice......he wouldn't be so busy in that match as he will be this evening.

Exactly. As if coming back against Chelsea down there wasn't bad enough, the pressure will be on Howard to justify his being selected over Robles by not cocking it up let alone being beaten. Shouldnt really have to be a consideration that in an international class and Premier League regular keeper, but thats the score with Howard. Bloody shame all round for poor Robles though.
 
I just hope Talk Sport are stiring it with the "Martinez explains why Howard will start tonight" intro and the interview is misleading but it didnt sound like it.
 
Imagine if Moyes had thrown "his number 1" Richard Wright straight back in after he returned from injury in 2003 and dropped Martyn back to the bench. LOL, scenes

I don't know if the players feel more confident with Joel playing behind them but here us one fan who feels relaxed now when the crosses are coming in.

He is commanding the area in a way Howard never did even in his prime.

His ball distribution is also far superior to Howard, would be a mistake to bring back Howard
 
Will wait for the official team news before being arsed about Howard but just imagine he does start and makes a mistake for a goal. Fume everywhere.

Martinez will praise his unbelievable character for bouncing back from the mistake and not breaking down in tears on the pitch
 
I never thought i would say this but if Howard walks back in over Joel Robles and Howard messes up, then it could be the screw turning ever so slightly in the martinez coffin, especially to those who want him out. It could also hint to other players that no matter how hard you try you will be dropped for the older guys (barry, howard, jagielka over Joel, Galloway & besic for example)
