Mucha frustrated by bench time

It was only because Ruddy left and got experience at a lower level that he became the good keeper he is. If Moyes had thrown him in as a raw young keeper he'd have been slagged up hill and down dale on this site after every mistake he made and his confidence would have been shot. It's easy to come on and sing his praises now he's the finished article but he'd never have become that without leaving .

By the way, I am sick and tired of these stuck-up ex-Manure players living like parasites off their past. We should get rid of them all.

Howards a good keeper and a good keeper is hard to find. He might make the odd mistake but show me a keeper who doesn't. I've already witnessed a couple by the amazing Ruddy this season.

Julian, parasites like Gibson? What the fuck has playing for Man Utd got to do with anything at all?

The first goal trickled past him. His dive looked like a dad playing with his kid in the park, falling just for show so his lad feels good thinking he's scored a good goal.

Unless you want to spend a lot of money we do not have on a top-class goalkeeper who will want to be paid a lot of weekly money and not sit on the bench, you make do with what you have. Mucha is an International goalkeeper. Does he deserve a chance?

Howard looks as if he could do with a couple of games off. Goalkeepers thrive on confidence and when they make a mistake or two then the confidence goes. Even the great Gordon West lost his place from time to time, to Andy Rankin with mixed results, and to Geoff Barnett on one forgettable occasion.

There is more to goalkeeping than saving shots. They need to command their area. They need to have the confidence of their defenders. Does Howard have this now? The central pairng looked extremely nervous in the second half on Monday.

Give Much a game in goal at Swansea and also at Leeds and let's see how we feel after that.

My grandfather played in goal professionally in the early 1900s. Of course he was deaf and could not hear the barracking that all goalkeepers get from the crowd behind them. Perhaps Howard and Mucha could beenfit from ear-plugs? Rarely praised for the good things they do but always noisily criticized for the bad.
