Tim Howard

I wonder what people would have to say if that Kike chip went in? I bet it wouldn't have been Robles' fault.

Of course Robles wasn't to blame mate, you could blatantly see Howard was in Robles eye line waving with a big pink foam hand trying to put him off.

Who is it who always moans about Howard not being in his line, he would have had a heart attack watching that.

Dont you start

I started about 2 months ago. Dougie's on to something here like.

It would have been described as an "unstoppable mortar" or something

It was a lucky one two deflection that led to the chip shot - Robles was on his six yard box like most Prem keepers unfortunately Tim is stuck on that line most times!

Excuse me if it misses the target how can any keeper get the recognition for saving it?

How can he get blame for not?

Ok smart backside

Robles showing yet again that he is streets ahead of Dim Coward......... shocking how he's not starting every week.

 

[Bungle]

Please do us a favour and retire Tim.

 

[Elong]

Howard's worst performance by far today.

Man's a disgrace to his friends, family, and the 'murican way o life.... he may as well have wiped his bum with the stars and stripes

Think Robles has just cemented Howard's number one status for the rest of the season to be honest.

Even in such a one sided game he managed to put fear into the two centre backs and provide encouragement to the championship forwards.

Go to Specsavers Doug , and don't stop at Go or pick £200 up - Robles had a fine game with a weaker team in front of him v a side with a great home record notice when his gloves get the ball Doug it stays in them - also what a commanding punch into touch out of danger- his ball to Barkley was magnificent were you watching the City game or something?
I suppose in the last round all his saves were lucky ones too Doug - the only reason Tim plays in the prem that is it may be written in his contract, and RM hands are tied or something more sinister?

Great playing with 11 men.

So how do we measure what's relevant then. It's all arbitrary. Two years ago the same statistics that sucked last year were great including saving 3 of 5 penalties. His numbers this year are back up again, but the same people that use last years against him refuse to recognize the uptick. Stats only tell part of the story, but they're used so much for framing one's argument when it's convenient and ignored when they're not.

This isn't about stats. I understand football reasonably well and it's patently obvious that Howard is now a very poor keeper. That's all there is to it. The fact in person he also comes across very poorly just adds to it - but down the years there have been a number of Everton players I've not liked as people but have supported them as players.

For Howard it's neither. He's the weak link in an otherwise inspiring line-up. The sooner he is shipped back the better!
