Tim Howard

[Elong]

He was crap at Wigan, he was crap last season and he's been pretty much crap this season. There's a strong common theme running through his form.

Yeah, your opinion is off.

In my opinion.

If Robles was that bad as Doogie claims then why did RM bring him to GP. I think Doogie is also pointing out another instance of bad judgement of our manager.

Well Dougie likes to have his cake and eat it mate. Martinez knows best, both for picking Howard, and bringing Robles in as his replacement.

We needed a back up cheap and availble goalkeeper and Martinez went with who he was familiar with, same reason we got Alcaraz.

But the point is Doogie he signed them so he must have considered that they were okay more than just spare parts.

Dougie taking a bit of a beating here.

I've got your back lid (as long as you vote for me in the upcoming reputation moderator election)

Perhaps Martinez doesn't think we're any bigger than Wigan, and has deemed these "crap" players to be acceptable?

There both squad fillers because we had a small squad when he arrived and they cost £500,000 for two player with premiership experience and were familiar with how Martinez works. It was a no brainier really seeing as we were short in those areas and didn't have a massive budget.

Goalkeeper perhaps Doogie but we were not short at CB.

My vote is between me and the ballot box BB, but thanks for the offer.

Stay safe son.

It's a jungle out there x

We had a 36 year old Distin who looked like he'd struggle to cope with the new system Martinez would implement, as might the club captain. Besides that there was Heitinga who he'd had his Wigan team target everytime we'd played them recently. He brought in a player for free who he trusts but can't be relied heavily upon for fitness reasons mainly. It was a no brainer.

He did drop it, trying to take a high cross at waist height.

City goal he came rushing out when there was no need.

You can't do the rest of them beacuase there indefensible.

How on earth are you still on here defending the Yank clown? I thought you were lying low after that abomination against Leicester

I had my say at the weekend. This is about him being prefered over Robles.

 

[MikeH72]

The Sterling incident in the Derby?

The dropping a catch at Palace under no pressure and Jags clearing of the line?

The Jelavic goal?

Krasnodor goal?

The save with his face?

The city goal?

.....

2 of those "mistakes" cost us goals. I could reel off 7 mistakes Howard has made this season which have cost us goals but I can't be arsed. I could also reel off 5 a season for the past 3 years but I'm sure I've already done that and you ignored it. He's not in poor form, he's just tripe
