In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
not a flake of dandruff on that man
True, until Januari Cillessen didnt even play in the Eredivisie but a in lower league. I wish we had a keeper like Tim Howard, he was excellent!
you already have krul who's one of the top goalkeepers in the premier league, and top class period imo. Krul is better then howard as well imo.
True, i think Krul is a better GK too but most Dutch people and LVG especially like goalkeepers who are good with their feet. Cillessen is excellent with his feet and has decent distrubution. Krul and also Howard lack some quality in that department but i think both are better shot stoppers as Cillessen.
I thought Cillessen was great for Ajax this season but I agree on the whole. Having sb like Neuer who would sweep any leakage caused by the slow CBs as well as the overall quality would make them clear favourites as things stands.
He was damn near perfect tonight. I really like Tim Howard, think is a great keeper who has kept Everton above where they belonged for the past years.
But I cant say best performance ever after letting in two goals.

I like Howard. Showed his worth tonight and has generally been excellent throughout the tournament.
poor finishing != great goalkeeping
Poor finishing or not, even the balls hit straight at him needed to be saved, Tim Howard had a very good match. He has been putting in a shift for Everton for long time as well. Very decent keeper. I think his distribution was good today as well.
Compared to some howlers by the GKs in this WC (Akinfeev, Emenike), Tim Howard did not let himself or his team down at any point.

Most saves by any keeper in a WC match since 1962. Even if many of them were close to his body, that just signals how good his positioning is. I think it has to be considered among the top goalkeeping performances in WC's in recent years, along with Guillermo Ochoa's against Brazil.
Still think he is the best American player in history.
That's debatable.. I'd probably say Krul is a marginally better shot-stopper, but his all round keeping game (organisation/command/distribution/handling) isn't as good as Howard.
Out of the two, I'd take Howard every day.
I don't know why people are saying we shouldn't have sold him. When have we ever needed him?
I wanted to make this thread ffs.
Anyway, most saves ever=best performance ever, clear as a day.
Best keeper of all times?

Wrong, this was the best ever.
IMO Timmy now holds the record for 2 of the best 3 ever goalkeeping performances. I'm just happy to say that he once played for my club and I got to see him in perform in the flesh. Great honour.
To be fair, a lot of those shots came straight at him. Only 1 or 2 very good safes.
Not very tasteful in my opinion.
Not tasteful at all - removed.
agreed, he's looked a bit ropey. Cillessen isn't even first choice at Ajax, is he?
I'd have thought Vorm or Krul would be better options. What happened to Stekelenburg?
The one save from Miralles with his feet was exceptional I thought
Cillessen is now first choice, after Vermeer made some crucial mistakes in crucial matches ( 4-0 vs PSV for example ).
I think LvG picked Cillessen for his footballing ability. He's awful ( 50% pass accuracy ) but I guess we have no one better.
I have not followed Stekelenburg, He'd normally be my first choice based on the WC 2010 (granted, this was 4 years ago) and other performances.
Tim Howard could've saved my parents' marriage.
These days everything is the 'bestest in the world ever'

He's better than Messi

Not even the best of the World Cup, second to Ochoa vs Brazil.
For me nothing close to Toldo's performance for Italy vs The Dutch at the 2000 Euros. All game through to the penalty shootout he was unbeatable, absolute monster.

They lost didn't they? He's got no chance of being president either with that beard.
An excellent performance.
Best thread ever.
Martinez signing some competition in Joel really made Howard up his game the past year, the season just gone was the best since he joined Everton.
Washington has officially been changed to Tim Howard City.
