Tim Howard

Azzurri · November 30, 2014

Would definitely have Cech. All day.

Can see him going to Arsenal, though, I think.

The biggest problem with Tim Howard is that he makes the strikers mind up for him, always falls to the near post for every one-on-one. Never stands big ie. Peter Schmiechel

....my immediate instinct was he should've done better with the first goal and I haven't changed my mind since.

Cech is a very interesting shout.

Don't think there's any chance of Cech, unfortunately.

Probably not.

Nice thought though.

I doubt we could get Cech tbh.

i think Howard would probably be disappointed with the first goal also

If he wasn't I was . How many mistakes is he allowed to make and points given away and still be the first choice
keeper , he is getting an easy run off the manager.

As the photo shows, Howard was far too concerned with covering his near post, and left an easy finish to his right. From those positions the striker should only be scoring if he fires just inside the far post, into the far netting. In this instance the shot crossed the goal line right in the centre of the goal!

Cant believe he parried the ball like that

questions again?

1 shot on target and no clean sheet. i'm not a keeper, but i seem to be continually wondering why he's always so far off his line. distin's obviously at fault for the goal.

but i'm just thinking to myself, after he's gone past distin, he's looking up and there's a big wide gap on the inside of the post to easily slot in. if howard is stood on his line, what has he got to aim at? his only option is to score in off the far post right? seeing as he's sone aluko, that's very unlikely.

thoughts? maybe i'm nit picking.

howard wasted more time today than their keeper and then after taking so long to think about his clearances a hell of a lot of them ended up on a hull centre mid's head with no everton player close.

@EFCStats: 1 - Hull managed 1 shot on target tonight, Howard had one shot to save in the entire game. He didn't.

I don't really get what you mean mate, surely you don't think he should have been actually stood on the goal line when Aluko came through.

His positioning didn't seem that bad if i remember right, you come out to narrow the angle and stay big. Yet somehow he's let in near his left foot. Eithr his footing was wrong or his reactions were too slow.

Need to see it again with a decent picture though.

And i had to laugh when he fannied around kicking the ball out and managed to find 1 hul player among about 4 of ours when he eventually did kick it.
