Tim Howard is the Everton Weak Link

Our forwards were having troble scoring at the beginning of the season, and now our defence cannot stop leaking goals. And the weak link is the Everton goalkeeper, Tim Howard. Just on his basic errors, he has cost Everton at least 10 points. Remember the first game of the season away to Blackburn? Where he practically placed the ball at the Blackburn forward's feet, and said "Have a shot on me buddy." There was the poor catch away to Tottenham, two errors away to Liverpool, etc. I can go on, and on. These mistakes aside, his overall game is poor. He has no commanding presence in his area. He panics if a an opposition forward stands next to him at corners - remember Kuyt's goal at Anfield last season? A weak goal-keeper, makes the back four nervous. They know if he comes to collect a high ball, or to punch away a cross, he'll more times than not, make a complete hash of it. Of course he makes some good saves, but that's his job - we expect him to. Moyes has to make a sensible decision for once and select Jan Mucha. You cannot leave quality international players sitting on the bench all season. Remember Arsenal were also after Mucha when Everton were chasing him? Come on Moyes get your finger out and drop Howard and SELECT MUCHA! And while you're at it, get rid of Neville and Hibbert!
