No-one is criticising Howard for his record at everton. Last year he had a fine season (aided by a solid defence) but this year he has made a number of errors. I guess that what separates the top keepers from the rest, those keepers that make the fewest errors, unfortunately in that regard Howard has been poor this season. Robles was just beginning to find his feet (3 clean sheets in a row) and was dropped for Howard. I don't think that is sending out the correct message to the team.

Today reminded me of Howard's performance against Crystal Palace when we were beaten 3-2 in September.

Lukaku missed some sitters today, expected better from him. Should spend all week kicking a ball into a net

As a team we weren't good enough today, you can't just talk about Lukaku. There were lots of other factors.

The first half v QPR at home this season was as close to the worst peformance i've ever seen, pedestrian - no movement, absoloutely devoid of any ideas going forward. Howard pinging long balls to the smallest man on the pitch Lennon and hoping he could win headers. Pititful.

We should have gone in 2 nil up, Barkley and Lukaku should have scored, so thats a positive in that respect, Coleman & Lennon did well.

Other than that, completely laughable, we robbed Leicester of 2 points there.

HAHA grapevine, seems to me more like Jack and the Beanstalk, fairy story. Not going to happen you know that, I know that all on here I think know that.

Of course i know that. I was taking the p*ss. But you also know that this will be the official line as soon as Kenwright starts getting flak again. I think he wants his lasting legacy to be a place in the Guinnes Book Of Records for the longest time to sell a Club (must be about 10 years now i would guess.....).

I was actually relieved to go in at HT level. They should've been 2 up with the chances they had.

Lets face it,even allowing for howards "performance",we could have been four down at half time.

Yeah, that one Howard, instead of pushing the ball around the post like all other keepers, he parried it perfectly I to Schlupps path, who missed a sitter. People used to cringe when Robles got a start, know how we feel with Taliban Tim in goal

McGeady will get player of the season. High resolution images of pie charts will be used at the award ceremony.

Reputation still out re McGeady imo. Lots of promise but he makes a lot of errors and has had a few howlers in front of goal after that stunning strike at the beginning of the season.

Everton boss Roberto Martinez eyes Premier League lift
Everton manager Roberto Martinez is hoping his team can transfer their excellent European form to the Premier League against visitors Leicester on Sunday.
The Spaniard said: "I think it shows in Europe this season we've been perfect. And when I say perfect, we've been enjoying our football.
I think we've showed an incredible character & we have been able to get a real momentum, phenomenal

RM: "Rom did look tired today after being so fresh on Thursday. He got in good positions but he's learning how to play 3 games in a week."
ffs he's 21, he should be able to play 3 games every week
RM: "We should have been able to be more composed and more ruthless, but we were too pedestrian at times
ffs as in most league games this season
“Overall, we wanted the three points – but I’m delighted we managed to rescue a point because Leicester are fighting for their lives and it is very, very difficult to come back from going behind that late in the game.”
ffs delighted we managed to rescue a point off the bottom team in the prem

We were an own goal away from getting beat at home by ****ing Leicester
6 league wins all season
& the RS*** have just gone 2 up
