Everton manager David Moyes has the
utmost confidence in keeper Tim Howard.
The American made a bright start to his loan spell at Everton, but
he has come in for criticism in recent weeks due to a number of
blunders.
Moyes, though, has not lost confidence in the keeper and has backed
him to regain top form.
"There is nothing wrong with Tim Howard's confidence," said Moyes.
"He's had some criticism recently but the shots from distance that
have gone in have been nothing to do with him, he couldn't have
saved any of them.
"His form has not been brought into question by me. He maybe could
have done better with a couple of things, but he's played really
well this season and if these couple of mistakes of late are the
only ones he makes this season then we will be more than happy with
him.
"He has performed brilliantly for us, so the odd game when he does
not perform at his very best will not change our views on
him.
"Some of the goals that have gone in are candidates for goal of the
season, so where do you draw the line between supposed mistakes and
being beaten by brilliant strikes?"
