Tim Howard

He made a few decent stops, but there's no two ways about it: he lost us that game. First goal especially was terrible decision making. Second one he fails to get out to the danger and then just stands waiting for it to sail over his head.

People saying he can't be criticised because he made some saves..... it's his job!!!! It's what he should be doing all the time, it's a sad indictment that we're actually shocked that he occasionally gets in the way of a goal bound effort.

Utter abomination of a goalkeeper.

Is that a racial slur?

Please lads. Stop.

Clearly he's saying that Tim Howard should concentrate on his piano playing and singing.

Less of these racial accusation thanks.

Had enough, have a good evening.

His best save was when he shut his eyes and the ball hit him in the face

Thank god Howard is likely going to retire in a season or two... He can be only so bad, but Martinez is likely never going to drop him...

He went down to early for the 1st goal.

That's pretty much all there is to it.

Every match should be ending 0-0 by your logic. Every keeper makes mistakes and gets punished for it. Every keeper makes great saves to keep out what should really have been goals. Bad keepers do more of the former; great keepers do more of the latter. Howard does more of both than most keepers, I think, which unfortunately makes him a lot easier to criticize than someone like Tim Krul, even though Krul picks the ball out of the back of his net far more often than Howard does.
