Tim Howard

[Hellerad]

This thread is almost as boring as our midfield.


Tim needs replaced.

Robles isn't the answer.

 

[Walken]

even the americans are turning on Howard, and fair play to them even if they still wont admit Robles deserves a chance, Douglas your allies are running thin, you need a clean sheet tomoz mate

 

[deipnosophist]

You're the only one laughing I guess. Mate.

This thread's about Tim Howard, not Richard Wright, although they're both equally awful.

Anyone who can write a song as brilliant as 'The Great Gig in the Sky', can never be classified as awful.

We all need a clean sheet tomorrow, don't we?

We all need a clean sheet tomorrow, don't we?

It would be nice.

A win would be the priority.

Starjump speaks on criticism
http://www.skysports.com/football/n...ard-everton-goalkeeper-not-shaken-by-critics?

Starjump Tim insists he has not been shaken by criticism of his recent performances in goal for Everton.
Manager Roberto Martinez was this week forced to defend the form of his American goalkeeper and insisted he will start the Super Sunday clash with Sunderland, despite the impressive display of Joel Robles in the Capital One Cup in midweek.
In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports' Patrick Davison, Starjump agreed he should have attacked the ball to prevent Olivier Giroud's goal in Arsenal's 2-1 win over the Toffees last weekend.

But he says his confidence has not been shaken because he can draw on plenty of experiences from a career which has seen him play for more than a decade for Everton, Manchester United and the USA

He told Super Sunday: "I think if you look back at how many games? 400 games? I'd like to know how many goals because in all of those games I probably could do better on every goal.
"In hindsight you know where it's going and the result. I don't have that luxury in a game.
"If you don't have experience you have nothing to draw from. When you have experience you use that to stay positive and to move forward.
"As I've said all along, I don't mind the criticism because I think my body of work speaks for itself. I don't have to say a word.
"Thirteen years in the Premier League, probably over 700 games in my career, over 100 games for my country and two of the best clubs in the land… the next person who does that, I'll be impressed."

Everton conceded 13 goals in their opening 10 Premier League matches, but have already played the likes of Man City, Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea.
And Starjump expects their form to improve after a tough start.
He added: "I think you get to my age, at 36, and you've pretty much seen it all. That's the fun part about it.
"Now it's just staying on top of training and topping up. I know what it's like to have success and failure and so you do all the right things to put yourself in a position to succeed.

"One of the things you deal with in the media is a blame culture. If you look at the games this season we've had a really good, I think, stretch of games. We always knew our first 10 games were going to be hellacious. We played all the top teams, teams around us and teams we feel like we were better than on certain days.

"You don't always get the results you want. Form ebbs and flows. My confidence is always there; it's tough to shake my confidence.

"Good games are only around the corner and bad games are only around the corner. No goalkeeper has a God-given right to perform brilliantly."

This thread's about Tim Howard, not Richard Wright, although they're both equally awful.

This post makes even less sense than your original one about exclusive opinion.

Anyway, whilst we all have differing opinions on the keeper situation, all that matters is the points today.

Agreed about Wright, he wasn't the best. Howard has been far better though imo.

Enjoy the game mate.

I didn't think I'd say this, but Roberto does have a point. I hadn't realised how young /inexperienced our first team is. The front three all 21. The back four, all 21 or younger, save for Funes who's just got here and is 24. Do we really want to clamour to put another youngster in there while Jags is out?

What a big headed Git - only his head will keep the ball out of the net not his mindset the size of it!
Hope he can remember its his current form that we do not want to see not in, but in his opinion or his eyes if he keeps them open today his glory days!

 

[KevMirallas]

He genuinely thinks he's a great of the game. Some of those quotes, my word.

 

[Moomin]

I see on Toffeeweb they reckon he is getting a one year extension to his contract. Apparently a poster on NSNO called " Shorty " has called it and Howard will be captain in the absence of Jags.

Is Howard cowering and doing a starfish the sort of old head experience we want our youngsters to witness?

 

[james2805]

His interview with sky sports looks ridiculous!

"In hindsight you know where it's going and the result. I don't have that luxury in a game.

What a joker. It was obvious to all of us where those crosses were going! And it's his job to bloody command his 6 yard area and "draw from experience".

Fuming here.

What do you expect him to say lads? If he's doing an interview he's going to say positive things, that's the nature of professional sport.

Personally I wish we had another keeper in goal, not necessarily Robles. However if the manager picks Howard then he's our keeper and we have to back him until another keeper is brought in.
