The irony of an American, watching on the tele, telling me I have a poor understanding of "football" has made me giggle like a school girl.

I know Mouts, pay my fare to America and we'll go over and get him, and make him understand football, I,ll
bring my own sandwiches.
 
I don't understand what the argument is.

He was good enough for years but prone to starfish. He wasn't close to good enough this season. People are worried he'll continue to be poor next season.

Anything beyond that is popcorn and you should recognize it or dangle as you deserve.

you missed one quote out.....the one where I said he didn't get any credit at all.

I was merely pointing out that people where actually giving him stick for game when he kept a clean sheet.

Again the fact your post has got so many likes just reaffirms the crazy logic in this thread. It's the gift that keeps giving

But people are giving him credit, lots of people. There's something not right with you.

Tim Howard says Everton should have more clean sheets this season

TIM HOWARD’S superb reflex save helped Everton to an eighth clean sheet of the league season - but the keeper said they should have more shutouts on their record.

The Blues had the third meanest defence in the Premier League last term as they conceded just 39 goals in their 38 league games.
Everton have already shipped 42 goals this season with seven games of the campaign left to play but kept out Southampton in Saturday’s 1-0 win.
Howard has been disappointed that the Blues have not been able to match last season’s defensive standards but insists it has not been for the want of trying.

“We obviously would want a clean sheet every week and we haven’t had enough,” Howard said.

“But that doesn’t stop us going out there and training hard and that is what a lot of people miss, can’t see and will never see, our work ethic on the training pitch.

Howard added: “It helps everyone when you can get a settled back four and gain consistency through wins, saves, blocks - whatever it is - you start to get momentum throughout the week and you start to feel good about yourself in training.”

Everton have now won three consecutive league games for the first time since last March when the Blues started out on a run that saw them win seven on the spin.

Howard is refusing to get carried away with their resurgence and says the trip to Swansea City on Saturday will provide a stern test.

“We’ll try and make it four wins in a row next weekend and take it from there,” the American said. “We’re playing well at the moment, the confidence is high so we’ll go to Swansea - which will be a particularly tough place to go given the way they play their football - and win.
“We played them well at home earlier in the season and will look to do the same down there on Saturday.”

what's wrong with what he said

Nothing really in so far as what hes said. It's more that he contributed significantly to our defense being so poor and our defensive fragility through his hamhandedness and brainfarts,so for him to come out and say we should have more clean sheets is a bit silly really.

Admonishing him for admitting the truth doesn't seem too out of bounds for me. Sure, he could have placed more blame on himself, but I highly doubt he ran to the press to write this story. Surely it was a reporter just asking questions for a 'news worthy' story.
