Everton fans are growing increasingly frustrated with goalkeeper Tim Howard, after another lacklustre performance saw him criticised as the Toffees lost 2-1 to Spurs at White Hart Lane, despite holding an early lead.
Howard fumbled Harry Kane’s shot which led to Christian Eriksen’s equaliser, before he was caught in no-man’s land for Roberto Soldado’s winner. This comes after concerns were raised by his earlier performances in the season, with some fans now calling for back-up keeper Joel Robles to be given his chance to get the Toffees out of this sticky situation.
The American goalkeeper was a force to be reckoned with at the recent World Cup in Brazil but like many players that competed at that tournament, he has struggled to continue his performances into the new domestic campaign.
Tim Howard: Only Vito Mannone (5) has made more errors that have led directly to a goal in the Premier League in 2014 than Howard (4) #efc

Watching #spurs winner, why is Tim Howard guessing, just stay up. The very best keepers don’t guess, De Gea, Neuer would have stood tall

Tim Howard has cost us to many times this season so far, think it’s time to give Joel some game time and him abit of competition

Everton got Robbed of 3 points… Tim Howard is really not that good considering the person that scored the game winner was Soldado

Tim Howard’s ability to make reflex saves is one of the best in football. It’s the falling over before a shot comes in that I can’t handle.

Just going to have my one moan for the evening and it’s a common one: Tim Howard is not good enough for Everton. And that’s it.

Tim Howard had another chilled-out day at the office today knowing that the only alternative if he has a shocker is Joel Robles.
