• A point in the bank away at Spurs is a good point based on our absolutely abysmal North London record. Yeah it feels like we could have won but Moyes will always be loath to lose a tight game - that conservatism can be frustrating from the outside but it\'s why we pick up points with Moyes where we would have lost them in dreadful recent seasons. And if football was as simple as if George had stayed on and not Johnson we\'d have won it, then we\'d all be earning millions in the PL. We don\'t know the defensive roles and abilities and shape and the tactics to counter specific threats etc. It can be very, very boring at times (how many Everton games would genuinely be an interesting watch for the neutral?) but we do need this grinding out results stability more than we think before we ever have a chance of taking bigger strides forward. ...

• Yes Armstrong was given offside, but then a fella for Brighton wasnt a couple of weeks later.rnrnA bit like the Tarkowski hand ball, Barry penalty against Arsenal, and Keane hair pull.rnrnAll were found to be treated differently in different games. With excuses being given to suit the circumstances of the opposition and protect the referee.rnrnYesterday proved they just don't know what theyre doing. Ive long said it is bent. rnrnOn reflection I don't think it is, they arent that good....

• I wouldn\'t be that critical of the changes because they worked. We looked solid enough and created the chance we needed to get the win, we just didn\'t take it.rnrnWhat we\'ve lost is the ability to change things up top as games drag on. It was only ever like for like with Moyes anyway, but even that would be preferable to leaving Barry on for the full 90. Will be interesting to see what he does on Wednesday....

• Bobby, I don’t think Dibling is ready to start but to say he is rubbish is not correct.rnrnHe would have benefited from a loan to a European club, but squad numbers are so tight that proved impossible. Since he is in the squad, he has to play and he will against Wolves.rnrnThe player being selected ahead of him is Brennan Johnston, who has been completely devoid of form and confidence for a year. All about opinions I suppose....
  Steve Brown in Player Ratings: Mykolenko outstanding in defensive masterclass
• We moan from time to time about Pickford but let\'s put it this way, we won\'t appreciate how great a goalkeeper he\'s been until he\'s gone.rnrnBetween Nigel Martyn leaving us and Pickford signing I personally think we struggled a tad in goal.rnrnI know Tim Howard is deemed by many as a great, but for me he lacked the consistency we have in Pickford and Howard was prone to too many bee in a bottle moments, and I still take this day hold him culpable for that winning goal of Chelsea\'s in the 2009 Cup Final.rnrnPickford has at least 4 or 5 more good years in him so who replaces him after that won\'t be a worry for today thankfully....
  Jim Bennings in Everton's Rock: Pickford brings up 100 Premier League clean sheets
• Sean #67, Moyes isn\'t the one on the pitch missing those opportunities, but maybe to try something different up front he could put those two goalies from the bench up there?...
