Stoke at home when we lost 1-0 Norwich away 4-0 we kicked thin air and started swinging from the crossbar Villa last year in the league Everton when he let that shot from a think it was Mirallas squirm under his body do you want me to go on.

So he's averaging one a season then really? Not too bad.

No not really these are absolute howlers that a real top keeper would make once maybe twice in a career.

Petr cech made two as bad if not worse than any of these in one game in the first game of the season.

Understatement. Won us that point no doubt. Superb. We lose that with Myhill in goal.

Wouldn't go as far as that as its a bit unfair on myhill as he hasn't really done much wrong but foster number one all day for me

Gives Roy a reminder of his experienced "possible".

With the injury to Forster I would say probable rather than possible.
It is a mistake to theorize before one has the facts. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

Not seen much of Heaton but Foster should be in the squad based on that performance. Most teams would have missed him having him out so long so shout out to Myhill this season too.

Has the Myhill performance against Man Utd last season been stuck from your memory then.

No mate, a consistent sequence of decent saves, certainly nothing extraordinary, but nevertheless helped us to an unlikely win; two of Foster's today were world class, we get it, you don't like him.

Applies to most sides...if your 1st choice plays at his best he's a bit better than the 2nd choice but no need to have a swipe at Myhill today.

Jacko,there is no need for the cheap shot at myhill..
Many on here myself included, rate myhill higher, but we are all wise enough to see foster had a really good game yesterday, you can praise one without belittling the other...
Anyway, isn't mingolet your keeper?
If youre going to get told off, get told off for doing something not for doing nothing..

Tonight proved why Foster is never an England keeper in a million years Dawson saved him from another absolute howler.

If Myhill had put in a first half like that he'd have got crucified. What Foster was doing for the free kick I don't know.

He's a very good keeper when fully awake but really think he has concentration and focus issues sometimes.

In fairness I think Foster has been much improved since he came back form injury. Hopefully last night was a blip, it was a very poor performance but hopefully he's saving his best for Tottenham... :o
No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no shots on target.......

Apart from the howler that went through his legs I didn't think he did much wrong. Free kick was cowardice from Chester and he was clearly unsighted for the first. 2 great saves second half.

Spot on Jacko
if only Chester had stood his ground & took one for the team like Ben did,yes it hurts but its part of a defender's job. No pain no gain.

I disagree about the free kick, his positioning was very poor.

Both Chester and Foster should have stopped the second goal and if either had done their jobs as they should have done, either the ball never reaches Foster or he makes a comfortable save

Don't understand why he's guaranteed a place ahead of Myhill.

because he the better keeper, 4 managers have come to the same decision now, depending on what happens we may go to 5.

I just don't think it's good for competition (and raising standards) when both goalkeepers know that Foster will always play when he's fit; in fact I think that's evidenced itself by Foster's decline in form over the last couple of seasons. Myhill was more consistent during his last run in the team than Foster has been, and I don't recall him making a misstake... shouldn't we at least have waited for some kind of drop in form before dropping Myhill?
