Tim Howard

[RaleighBlue]

The fact that it even would have been close to Ayew getting there makes it a no no pass. What value was possibly going to be gained. It was all risk and no reward. I think it's now reached consensus that Howard needs to be dropped. He's lost a lot in the way of athleticism, doesn't trust himself, and his technique was not refined enough to let him continue on after losing his athletic ability. However, using a poor keeper to cover up for the golden boy's mistakes is wrong. Stones overall defending this term has been crap, and he takes too many risks in dangerous situations. That pass should have never been made. Simple as.

You say this after watching the penalty again and again?

The pass was undercooked. It wasn't that bad of a pass though. Any non-totally incompetent keeper collects that pass and sends it out at worst. Howard moved backward allowing Ayew onto the ball. AND THEN mistimed the tackle when the ball was nowhere near his nets.

Stones deserves the blame insomuch as he thinks passing it to Howard is not the equivalent of taking a potshot at your own goal.

That's not defending Stones' overall play, or even suggesting the pass was the right decision. It's just pointing out that the pass shouldn't have led to a penalty, because Howard shouldn't have committed a war crime of positional play.

Absolute truth

Its because he turned around and gave a clap to those home fans who were booing him and cheering ironically when he made a save (or some other simple game action, i honestly forget)

He should have ignored those jerks behind goal but he didnt so EVERYONE gets to have an opinion on whether his attitude is right.

Jerks behind the goal?

You mean the Everton fans?

LOL

Unreal.

Golden boy?

I bet if he was American you would love him.

So much racism in 1 post its unreal.

You're an odd human.

 

[carolinablue232]

I only want Tim dropped , none of this USA quotes in the thread - it just not make any bias about a players nationality, if he deserves to be dropped on his current form now lasting 12 months being calamitous to say the least!

Of course he should be dropped. Who is saying he shouldn't be at this point besides the manager?

bog standard slightly underhit backpass

nothing to see here. no big deal

oh wait! whats going on??? between all of the options available the keeper has gone with move away from the ball and then streetfighter sweepkick the striker.

bobby, please just sit him down and agree to fake an injury story so Robles can stay in nets after his two cup clean sheets

I'm fairly certain it's because he is a tit mate. And people don't like tits putting in horror performances week on week, while picking up a cool quarter of a million a month, whilst obviously continuing to act as a tit at the same time.

See, this bloke gets it

You seem bored today Joe. That why you're trying to keep this thread going despite everyone agreeing Howard is past it and shouldn't play anymore?

Also, "non-anti racist" equates to racist. Stop posting racist things.
