Tim Howard

[Bigmaclad]

He's tosh though lads

 

[quasi modo]

Crap.

Didnt want poor timmy to get hurt...hes fragile. Good sort that Mori.

On a serious note, when is the MLS able to sign players, same as us?

It's amazing how even when people here can't actually figure out what Howard might have specifically done wrong for a goal, they still figure out a way to blame him.

So you're saying Funes Mori dragged Okazaki down in the penalty area because he was worried about his goalkeeper? How does that make any sense at all?

 

[Zatara]

Im eager to see who he signs...

Couldn't agree more, here's Brian Clough making the same point: “Shilton was the deciding factor. I’d have paid almost any price. A team with an OK goalkeeper is always looking over its shoulder. At the back of its mind, it’s thinking ‘it doesn’t matter what we do – the fella between the posts might make a mistake’. With Shilton in goal, it gave everyone else more confidence. It spread throughout the side. We were full of ourselves.”

Martinez's biggest failing is not addressing this issue.

Everton designating a penalty kick taker is akin to a hunger strike organiser appointing a head chef.

You know we conceded 46 league goals that season mate. To put it into some sort of context last season we conceded 42, with an awful Alcaraz, Distin and a young and inexperienced John Stones.

When you think in 2004/05 we set up very defensively as a team it kind of makes you wonder what's happening in front of Howard.

We conceded 50 last season, and had 10 clean sheets. We conceded 46 in 04/05 and had 13 clean sheets. For 13/14, we conceded 39 and had 15 clean sheets.

Somewhere along the way we've had a huge drop off in performance or talent, whichever you prefer.

Robles also gets us moving and on the attack much better IMHO,his distribution is excellent mostly,he probably isn't the answer for us but he deserves more game time than the odd cup game.

If I remember rightly, Arsenal put 11 past us in 2 games in the 04/05 season. 7 of them in an end of season game that was meaningless to us (can't remember if they had anything to play for.)

Jesus I'm talking league games ffs.

 

[Chang Elephant]

So we're all agreed that Tim is crap and should have his arms removed as a tribute to real goalkeepers ?

 

[SweetJesus849]

Jesus I'm talking league games ffs.

So am I mate. We genuinely conceded 50 last season in the league.

 

[The Reverand]

We have been here before - Howard needs replacing but it's a pointless discussion as Martinez won't drop him for Robles. (Certainly not this season anyway)
