Martinez to save your job creative forward thinking midfielder needed with the knowledge to find a teammate with a pass that doesn't rocket of their legs. Shhhhhh!

They also have a massive squad and referees who let them off the hook a lot early in games when they should have been punished.
Back to blaming the refs again ha ha priceless.
I blame the idiot who crossed out joels name on the teamsheet today and put in howards

Who cares about what he did in the world cup or what a lame duck president called him? You really make some laughable statements, but I'm sure you're just having a bit of fun!

I'm not blaming any ref for our draw. You were comparing Liverpool's fate today with ours and Spurs. Well Liverpool got a massive amount of good fortune didn't they? Or maybe you think they didn't.

You may not have done, but I do think that some on here have already forgotten what an immense goalkeeper Howard has been over his career at Everton, very much in the Everton tradition of great goalkeepers. I can't argue that he hasn't had a very good season this time around, and I won't deny that this just wasn't a good game for him and he was partly to blame for two lost points. Objectively though, imo, the goals conceded were also due to unforced errors in midfield as well as defensive mistakes. It is true that Robles improved over the last few games, but wasn't Roberto thinking of selling him only two or three month ago? That suggests to me that he hasn't impressed much on the training field in addition to his matchday performances. To me, Robles grew sufficiently in stature, particularly in the replay against West Ham, to be given more time to prove himself. Perhaps this is now the time; however, overall he has not convinced me enough and i don't think a run of three clean sheets is anywhere near enough to start thinking he is superior to Howard.

Baines very slow and pedestrian

do you blame him
I don't care about liverpool.
The reason we escaped with a draw against the bottom side was because martinez bottled it 1st half and bottled it again by playing flapper in goal.

Many different issues to take from this game.
Howard - his best asset he had is his instinctive shot stopping, but since the world cup that's just disappeared and quite simply is finished. Most keepers get by with tactical positioning with age but he never had that.
Baines - again maybe it's post world cup but he has been going through the motions. Oviedo and garbutt have more intensity and should start.
Midfield - against young boys there was running into spaces and played with speed. In the league we're static, and for once we can't blame this on Barry. Off the ball we run like headless chickens, on the ball everyone waits for something spectacular and don't take risks.
Wingers - need an actual top 4 quality winger.
Lukaku and barkley - again, very young and very gifted, but need to be cleverer and focus more. Both are at their best when playing instinctively but should do much better when given time to think. That's why I think they play best on the counter, but poorly when playing against a wall.
For me, writing things down helps the pain

We have one, but he was sat on his arse until 85 minutes today while Naismith ran around and fell over
