Tim Howard

[Smodger]

Disagree on Barry there. If either of the dm's should be dropped its McCarthy. Barry's been good so far

Nobody should have the right to go straight back in the team.

Nobody's said there's a right it's about choosing the best player.

It would not matter if Barry had been crap he would still go straight back in exactly like howard.
Barry could be garbage for the next couple of games and he would still get 90mins.
Howard has been garbage for years and still gets 90 mis.

Martinez honestly said Howard is back in on Sunday? That's abysmal from our manager. Disgusting. Robles, who obviously isn't that much better but still marginally better than Howard, should be out of the door asap. He must know he'll never get a proper chance under Martinez. I wonder why Martinez wanted to sign him in the first place?

It's not even about that. I mean, obviously you should choose the 'best' player, but it's also about sending a message. If Howard is dropped, the manager will have the support of the majority of the fans in the decision to drop him. It would also send a message to all other underperforming players, for example McCarthy who seems to just jog around the pitch and not bother tracking any opposition players, that if they continue in such a poor vein of form, they'll also be dropped too.

Martinez is just spineless.

if its true and he makes a mistake it's going to be ugly at Goodison.
Why Carnt we drop players like an other team we let let players carry on playing till they make a show of themselves or booed off the park.

Barry =/= Howard. Barry comes straight back in because he's actually played fairly well so far this season, and is an experienced head in a young team.

Howard has been tosh however. Different story there.

Erm, surely by not dropping Howard and sticking by his best goalkeeper even though you claim the majority of fans want him dropped Martinez is showing the exact opposite of "spineless".

He's showing strong leadership I'd say in fact.

Howard going straight back in leaves a very bad taste.

It puts massive pressure on an already under pressure player.

As mentioned before, if he makes a mistake things will go very ugly.

Thing is most of us no that the mistake is there Sunday.

There's a chance he won't mate, and he'll have a good game.

But the fact we are all worried about it is a clear concern.

Fat sam aint stupid, he'll be telling them to get the ball into the box and get at starjumps
