Tim Howard

could have done better for both but wasn't fully to blame, especially for the first one.

He's just totally inept at his job.

I disagree there's nothing he could have done for either.

Sometimes like the first goal yove got to hold your hands up and say great goal, lovely finish, and then sometimes like the second goal you've just got to say that unluckily.

You might disagree mate, but you'd be wrong.

I know you like to try be sort of positive and stuff but sometimes, especially with players are finished there is no positives. He's the worst starting goalie in the league.

He had lead in his boots for that first goal

good to know he's still wearing the same boots he had on his debut then.

Maybe I'm not giving enough credit to Moses but seeing that on MOTD again and wondering why Howard has just threw a token dive in to the air.

the goal was garbutt's fault for switching off, but robles would have saved it. he made plenty of saves in the ties vs west ham from similar headers. great header like, but was half way up and sort of in the side netting, a taller and more reactive keeper would have saved it and robles has both these attributes over hooward

I must admit I did really like when we conceded the second how he jumped straight up IIRC it was Stones be picked up and pushed all the lads back out into position and made sure heads didn't drop.

Whilst we do have to take responsibility for our performances it is important we don't drop out heads, we do have to jump back in the horse and turn it around.

You can't ever fault Howard's leadership and that's one thing he does have over Joel, he's a leader and barks orders at the defence.

My "god" why do you say that? And whys his beard got anything to do with football?

Because he could not catch a cold never mind a football - TH you have defended him - Now you claim Robles had some luck
Ffs this keeper is 35 years old playing like a 45 year old- R M no 1 my backside !!

You mean he bawls, and shouts at them , and most of the time it's his fault!

Swear to god he should have caught that first goal. Didn't even bother shifting his feet, it was like the Young Boys away goal all over again. Few quick steps and it's a basic save. Took half a century to hit the net, that's bread and butter for any average keeper.

Or our keeper is totally crap!

The reason being that once again he was conscious of the possibility of crashing into the goal post. Look at him glance towards the post just as he takes off.

He is no longer good enough sadly. And tonight he continued his remarkable ratio this season of every other shot on target going into the back of his net.

That first goal gets worse every time you watch it, hes literally a yard or 2 from the post, most keepers take a step to the side and have a comfortable catch. Its harder to let it go in than it is to save
