Tim Howard

[Craig]

Off his barnet. Row Z, he could have even let it go out for a throw to us. Knobhead decision.

 

[Joey66]

Never had a save to make today yet his howler of a clearance, gifted unt the game - another school boy error - Row z was the clearence and also at the end he passed it out straight to a unt forward!

 

[sageyefc]

Joel deserves a crack at it now, give him a run of games to settle into it and hopefully pick his confidence up

 

[Carlito]

All Howard seems interested in these days is scrapping.

Gone off the boil a bit since converting to radical Islam.

Good keepers win you matches even when you're not playing well...

 

[canuckblue]

In a sense, he's becoming a lot like Leon Osman in that he plays the occasional blinder but in general is a liability.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Poor keeper needs to be dropped. Almost an error a game at the moment. Joel cannot be worse.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

He takes his anger for being absolutely crap out on opposition players to try get on the fans side, unfortunately for him we aren't buying it.

Manchester United got rid of Tim Howard because he can't be trusted his unreliability rubs off on the defense

all he had to do was piont at peinaar who was injured, and roll the ball out, at worse its a throw, in at best unt give us the ball back to clear.
Never his biggest fan so cant be botherd going on about him as Robles looks even worse, should have got Marshall fron cardiff when they went down.

 

[quasi modo]

The man is a idiot, simply as that.

His errors are really hurting us now.

 

[Smudge1985]

isn't it ironic though?

he's the keeper with the worst distribution in the league, constantly slicing it out for throw ins, did it again in the first half in this game. if he does his customary c*ck up then they don't score - but no, he actually hits a ball cleanly into their right back

Spot on, I said the same thing. He belted a backpass straight out of play under no pressure in the first half.

Thing is, even ignoring the Pienaar injury, he should have put it in row Z. He was way out of his goal, our defence was pulled out of position, its one of those times you just knock it out and take a bit of pressure off, even more so when we're a man down and the sub is stood on the sidelines waiting to come on. Ridiculous decision to try and keep that in, and the confusion we were already in the middle of before he failed to take that pressure off, is what ultimately led to the winning goal. I rate De Gea very highly, the only bit of world class in United's defence, but he was the difference today. A penalty save and 3 crucial late matchwinning saves. The clown in our goal has very little to deal with and still manages to cost us the game.

Give Joel a go, he just cant be any worse, and keepers can only ever settle in with a run of games anyway. He's only played the odd game, usually behind a mixed up defence in cup games, so give him a run. If any other player had made the number of cock ups Howard has made this season, he would be out of the side. Just because he's a keeper doesnt mean he deserves special treatment. Get him out, he's getting worse, and give Joel a run.
