WILL HE, WONT HE?

[alan ball]

As Roberto Martinez has always brought in his number two goalkeeper for cup games, what happens this weekend for the visit of Chelsea? Robles is now installed as we believe as the number one choice as the first team shot stopper.
Does Roberto stay with Robles for Saturday or does he make his normal choice and go for the back up which is Tim Howard? Only time will tell.

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

Robles played at Bournemouth and by then he was playing League games.

I expect him to start at present.

 

[sageyefc]

Kept it the same against Bournemouth so expect the same

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

hahaha, if he does, he's popcorning the entire fanbase.

The fume would be epic.

Joking aside I can't see it. If he brings him back in and he has a mare, then there'll be hell on. If Robles doesn't cover himself in glory it'll not be viewed as Martinez fault.

Hope he's not reading this ffs

Robanter Martinez.

 

[Rugby Toffee]

He wouldn't would he- really - God imagine the scenes

 

[KopitesAreGobshi+es22]

I hope he plays Howard, love an old fashioned Fumefest on here. Honestly though I don't think he does. Robles it is.

 

[flibbyflob]

Might depend what he has said to Robles already. May have promised him all cup games no matter what if fit. Certainly going to be a fumefest if Howard comes in though regardless of the result.

 

[lancs blue]

Tim Howard in robles shirt. A sheer masterstroke

 

[Verbal Kint]

Imagine if he did and Howadd threw in a couple, it would be the final nail.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Martinez is on thin ice with some of our fanbase, would be suicidal if he brought Howard back.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Maybe he'll pull the same stroke on Chelsea as he managed in 2013 when he convinced Moyes he was putting out a weakened Wigan side - then turned up with the full XI (except the keeper - Robles played) and tonked us 3-0 (just in case you forget that last bit!!).

The only consolation was seeing the end of Pointing Pip.

News conference suggesting his side will be something like:

Howard, Hibbo, Jags, Gallo, Bryan, Gibbo, Mo, Ossie, Pienaar, Kone, Leandro

 

[matty1878]

I hope Robles stays in goal. Why? If Howard plays and played well he would drop Robles again.

 

[Groucho]

Oh my God! He can't be considering Tim Howard can he? Will he?

He wouldn't.


Would he?
