Everyone callin for tims head does everyone remember not so long ago our young spanish keeper could not catch a cold never mind a ball he would try an punch when he should catch an try an catch when he should punch an dropped everythin he went up for an everyone was sayin hurry up bk tim. Ppl need to give him a break. I think players in the best vain of form an if that is joel then so be it these players should start games but to say tim should leave is bonkers
Joels record when Dracula was injured proved that he should not have been dropped he kept 3 clean sheets continuous, whilst in the 3 games Dracula has been back he has conceded 4 goals. Make of that what you must.
No matter how bad he plays he will always be selected who`s fault is that.
I'm hoping he plays Joel on Thursday. I think pressure will be on Joel when he returns to prove it he hasn't gone back to the errors. Thursday should give him the chance to impress and show he has come on. We will need a top shape keeper against Arsenal and I expect Tim to be selected which may not be the best choice imo.

yes, mate but joel wasnt directly at fault for any goals bar krasnodar at home and needed confidence, howard just doesn't have the ability, its as simple as that, he does need to go and when he does i'm throwing a party.
Howard has the ability, his form isn't great at the moment. Joel certainly took his chance when Howard was injured and his form got better and better the more he played. IMO RM made a mistake bringing Howard back straight away. He should have made him prove himself again by playing in the reserves and Europa it would have introduced competition between them both and standards then should have improved.
Were you not blaming Joel ALOT! when he was in a bad run of form at the start?
No not me. I try to look for the positives in all our players. Why be negative it does not do any good.
IMHO both goalkeepers have shown they can play.Howard in the recent past and Joel more recently. I would pick a player based on form. age should not come into it. If both are 100% fit, it should be down purely to form. Based on that premise, Joel should have kept his place.but perhaps Howard just looked wonderful in training?
