The defence is better with Joel behind them. Surely he has now cemented his place as number 1. It is unthinkable that Howard would be brought back in. Senior players would surely not stand for that.
Imagine the absolute fume if/when Howard is brought back in.
Bobby has a huge test here now, the fans want Robles in goal for us and he has to show that players can earn their place (and lose their place).
It is, but it really shouldn't be.
He praised the defence after the game, he can't bring Howard in over Robles. Anyone can see the improvement in the team with Robles playing. Even Howard would kick up if Robles was dropped.
He's probably doing that silly dance but in the nude...If he does bring him back in, Howard definitely has compromising photos of Roberto.
I think there'd be a full scale revolt from the fans if he brought Howard back now, especially at Goodison.
