Tim Howard

LOL Exactly...last season...which can't be changed. Stupid is as stupid does.

So it doesn't matter what defence is in front of him, either way he's crap

The defence with four internationals in it when Jags is playing? The defence where most top clubs in Europe want John Stones - yes let's blame them not the super glue boots of Tim Howard!

Doug Tim on co commentary last night stated its the keepers job to organise his defence am I missing something as Tim cannot organise himself!

Don't think Mori, Stones and Galloway speak American very well Joe.

I'd not expect anything on the first 2 either. However If any of the 3 are against Howard the questions/comments would be as follows.

1. Any decent keeper claims anything in his 6. Another header from the 6?! How's he not off his line to claim that?
2. Why is he standing off his line? He should have been on his line. Joel would have had it!
3. Absolutely shocking! Near post again?! What is he doing there, the bearded clown?!

Search your feelings...you know it to be true.

That was basically the point I was trying to make

I've heard Coleman talk his American is terrible.

Tim then needs to fly over to the MLS , and save our club a fortune in wages , and we may win some games no defence in the Prem would look good with him between the sticks!

That goal we conceded to the RS this season still angers me.the smallest player on the pitch scoring a free header inside our 6 yard box. We'll never climb the table with such a poor keeper

don't you at least admit the RS player shouldn't have been unmarked in the 6 yard box? That's my main issue, Howards hasn't been great but neither has our marking. we're giving up the 2nd most shots in the league

Remember when Howard gave everyone tips on how to command their penalty area with maximum authority? End times

 

[USABlue]

Last season, coincidently when he was statistically in the worst 5 keepers in all of European big 5 leagues so that excuse don't wash you Texan

and now those same stats show him to be average in the prem, but he's still the worst keeper in the prem and only fifa playing beauts care about stats right?

Irish American who's ever heard of one of them..

Some/most of our six-yard box marking has indeed been woeful at times, but surely that small section of the penalty box has to be the primary domain and responsibility of the goalie to organise with at least one defender on one of the posts ?
The rest of the players can take the rest of the penalty area.

Sadly he did that versus Palace...still crap marking in the box ffs.

My stats tell me hes a starjumping biff who needs taking out back and putting down

In the six yard box it's the goalkeeper ball on a cross but if you are stuck on your line crapping yourself the it's to be expected if you are Tim Coward!

I would agree, and was always told, with a player on a post. And the others mark another footballer, not space or a zone. And the goalie should clear out anyone, friend or foe, in the 6 yard box.

Can I be paid £50000 a week please?
