TIM HOWARD THOUGH

[Walken]

If Tim Howard was Belgian he'd still be rubbish.

He is American though. And rubbish.

he would have had a better footballing education though, and probably understand the game to a greater degree

Sorry mate. I don't read every single post on the entire forum.

Not a dig at all. I don't come close to doing that. Just pointing it out that it's not a new opinion I've formed (or many others that defend Tim, Osman, etc.) The bashing some of our players get is horribly misplaced, and some are just looking for a scapegoat to blame our horrible form on. The team has been horrible.

Do you think we'd be even close to top 4 with any other keeper? It's a laughable suggestion IMO.

Of course, because those are the only mistakes Super Timmy USMNMNMNMNMNT has made over the past 3 years. I really can't be bothered finding Youtube highights for all of them, there's simply too many

Have you got that one from Blackburn away, where Tim decided that the pre season optimism had got out of hand and brought us back to reality ?

The Kalinic one? Oh my god, I wish that one was on Youtube, that is an absolute gem

Pick this season which I think we can agree is his worst. Find 15 points.

Just off the top of my head:

Leicester at home, both goals
Gerrard free kick at Anfield
Spurs away, pushing it straight to Eriksen
Chelsea away in the last minute, woeful punch and then beaten by weak shot at near post
Stoke away, beaten by a weak Moses header from 400 yards out
Palace at home, beaten in the air by Fraizer Campbell as the ball went through his hands

I'll get some more, don't worry

United away. That AWFUL kick that he didnt need to do that led to Falcaos winner.

YES, THAT

Found it mate, it's a classic

 

[MartSlinger]

So with the United mistake thats 17 points (i think). And im sure theres more.

He kicks it to halfway and they get a free run at his goal? Ok, yeah that's all on Tim...

Hahahaa amazing. I was only able to find this one of him being beaten at his near post in another game at Ewood Park

 

[MartSlinger]

Half way? Hahaha nowhere near half way. His awful kick put pressure on the defence when it wasnt needed. If he let it run out of play we'd never concede.

Don't forget Chelsea at home, letting Ivanovic and Costa shots go straight through him.
Rushing out like a clown for no reason at United
Terrible positioning for the free kick at Sunderland
Giving Soldado the whole goal to aim at against Tottenham away
Beaten at his near post against Hull at home
Palming a weak shot straight to Bobby Zamora against QPR at home.

Probably more but I think I've proved my point.

There's a fair few reasons why I don't think we'd be anywhere near top 4 mate.

Sadly Howard is one of the major ones. For me.

I've actually forgotten what it's like to have a proper keeper at Everton.

But it's not the only reason of course.

Can I ask you a question, what was your opinion of Martinez bringing in Howard straight back in even though Robles hadnt done too badly at all? (I realise this isn't Howard's fault by the way. At least I hope it wasn't!)
