TIM HOWARD THOUGH

[USABlue]

1st Goal - Cross from 35yd to just outside the 6yd box and a free header

Why doesn't he come from his line? He wasn't even set, he doesn't move. Just 5 mins before he did the same thing but Jags headed over.

2nd Goal - Corner flick on to the back post unmarked.

Ball watching again. Howard is appealing for offside but he has no idea a player is behind.

3rd Goal - Poor kick upfield to no one. Team split open, comes off his line but doesn't tighten the angle or comes out quick enough.

He is too slow and his concentration costs upto 15 goals a season. He needs to go.

1st is fair enough as he couldve come out but like you said jags headed over the same scenario 5 mins before so might have been known between them he wasn't coming out. Although it is a fair criticism. Not sure how you can blame the 2nd on him, naismith ducks out of the way and stones marks barry but it's howards fault Benteke is unmarked in acres of space? His kick on the 3rd was very close to Rom and Rom didn't even jump for it

Only player not to have a below par game on Saturday therefore by default he was MOTM against Villa.

No louie he just didn't make any mistakes or go missing like the other 10 players.

Just a bad day at the office for everyone besides Howard really like I said.

You are aware there's never ever been a goalkeeper who's saved everything in every single match aren't you ?

Yep...are you aware part of a keepers job is to command his area and not just stand on his line ?

Hello.

Not especially at fault on the weekend.

 

[blulouie]

Hello.

Not especially at fault on the weekend.

If he was on the pitch he's at fault.

 

[Elong]

If he was on the pitch he's at fault.

Not the ten players in front of him?

 

[blulouie]

Not the ten players in front of him?

Oh yeah...them too.

 

[Elong]

Oh yeah...them too.

So "not especially" would be fair enough?

He's not good enough for us, we all acknowledge that even his biggest fans, but he's what we've got right now.
