Howard

[TippEverton]

Only one questionable goal in the past two games, against Germany when he parried out to an oncoming attacker. He was a bit unsighted, but thought he could have done better. The rest of the goals were just grade school defending from the US.

For sure they weren't all his fault, but it only takes one of these a game to strike fear in me.

I didn't think he covered himself in glory with Kev's goal for Belgium, and that 3rd goal for Germany was shocking goalkeeping, I just can't see how that can be defended.

only 1 in 2 isn't a great thing to say to be honest, that's 19 mistakes a season.

i hope we do fine a new number 1 this summer, i honestly don't think he's good enough to be a top 6 keeper anymore. Fine as a wise head to call upon as second choice, but i would be dissapointed if we just look for another backup as opposed to a new number 1, there are plenty of good keepers (especially in england) that could make the step up for us

I'm not sure anyone in their right mind would extrapolate two matches of results over a full season.

Don't know if this has been posted, but here's some stats for all keepers in 2012-13 season:

Also, I still firmly believe we need a good quality keeper in this transfer window, because Howard needs competition and I believe he is on the decline.

Although based on that table he is nowhere near as bad as people say. Except in crosses caught, which many people have noted already.

Shrug. Glad I wasn't around for the squabbles in this thread.

Thankfully Lamps didn't have any shots outside the box last night and Barry saved Howard's ass. He didn't have much to do and was really lucky nor to cost us another game.

 

[ijjysmith]

I swore A LOT at him when he had his brain fart.

Or the one in the first minute of the second half when Baines left it for him and he didn't move, luckily they hit the side netting.

Needs replacing, not good enough and mistake ridden
