Who should be starting keeper vs. Sunderland

[Kiwi]

Should be Joel imo.
Howard's been so poor that surely you have to give your back up a go.
And he was fantastic tonight, made some class saves and kept us in it.

It'll be Howard.

Joel deffo

Howard with such a makeshift and unexperienced back four

 

[Fearthainn]

Should be Joel. Will be Howard.

 

[Khalekan]

It's a no brainer really.....it should be Joel.

However, Tim is a certainty to start and we all know it

For the first time, I would actually give Joel a shout. I just find myself thinking he can't be any worse than Tim.

As others have said, it 'should' unquestionably be Joel, however it 'will' most definitely be captain Tim.

 

[Bazlar]

Disagree it will be Howard. Got to be Joel. C'mon Bournemouth

 

[IRO1977]

Martinez will be playing a dangerous game if (or probably when) he brings Howard back into the team this weekend. If it goes all wrong it could really turn significant sections of the crowd against him in a vocal manner

All the more reason for leaving Tim out I would have thought, Doug.

He fills the regular back four with butterflies.....imagine the effect on the rookies.....

It will be Howard but I want Robles.

Well, this is it.

There is absolutely no downside to giving Joel a go.

Even if he messed up no one would be saying "well, Howard would have done much better".
