Tim Howard

Howard is past it. Keepers tend to decline faster than outfielders and the manager needs to be aware of that and make changes when needed.

The result today was as much Martinez's fault as it was Howard's.

But today's result isn't Howard's fault.

Yes he should have done better too. But he is just coming back from injury.

We've had shabite like that from Howard all season long.

The simple fact is that first goal killed us. Its his fault. Simple as.

Martinez is stubborn for playing him but he cant expect his goalie to be like that for a long ball over the top.

I have never not liked a player at Everton, obviously not rated some but I detest Howard with a passion.

thinking howard is the main reason for us looking so fragile is a fantasy

i hope im completely wrong, we get rid and start keeping cleansheets every game but dont think so. its systematic poor defending.

I've given up with him tbh.....like the last days of Moyes, we'll just have to put up with him until he's gone.......

Jags fault for me. A classic Jags mistake.

Still want a new keeper though

For a start we look 10X better by just bringing Joel in

It was a mistake by jags but when you make a mistake like that you should still have your keeper as the last line of defence not some mentalist who slide past them all and left an open net.

I thought jags was great today apart from that mistake.
