Howard personifies the whole Everton set up.

Bit of talent, bit of effort, never a chance of being top class. No matter who the effing manager is.
 

He had no chance for any of hem goals today except for maybe the third, to be honest I'd be expecting my player to score that 9 times out of 10. Not a lot to fault him for today at all,


Unless you have an agenda like.
Clearly you have the agenda...
But you are entitled to your opinion...no matter how ridiculous. For that, please continue to make a fool of yourself, I am certainly having a laugh.

like i said he didnt offer a hand to a single one of them.

his punch for the 2nd goal was laughable, he catches that and we have no problems.

Disagree that he could have done much about any of them apart from the third.

But even if he could have, what were you expecting? It was his first start in the league this season behind a CB partnership that itself hasn't played together much. Of all the positions on the pitch, keeper is probably the one where confidence in yourself and a good understanding with your nearest players is the most critical.

Personally not that confident Robles will make a great replacement for Howard but think he deserves the chance to settle into the role for a few games before everyone gets on his back.

Yes understanding is what affected his punch, if only he'd played a few more games then that punch would have sailed out of the box.

The lads played nearly 1000 mins for us now and not once in that whole time has he looked like he could go on to do well. Literally not once

From my limited knowledge of goalkeeping they seem to punch the ball rather than catch it more frequently when they are low on confidence which I also mentioned in my original post.

1000 minutes is a trivial amount for a goalkeeper, especially since none of it has been in consecutive games. Given Howard's performances this season, including punches out that have resulted in a goal like against Spurs, just not sure why you are so keen to complain about Robles.
 
Was shaky throughout today, no confidence and very rusty but understandable. Another game against Hull and hopefully he will find his feet.

Keepers can take whole seasons to find their feet, just look at De Gea. He's not suddenly going to look confident after 2 games. I said this ages ago, it wont be till RM sticks with him week in, week out we will see if he's actually good enough for Everton
