Out of the past five crosses he has come for he did not reach 4 of the balls and the last one he hesitated and pulled back into goal. Poor so far for Howard IMO.

Hibbert needs to be careful. The last thing we need is a suspension (not to mention injury) before the Manure game.

Anyone know much about Nash? I?m a huge Howard fan, but when you're having a day like this, maybe he should have a sit down.

Nash - Over the hill consistent but below-average keeper, in my opinion. Not to be risked, even if Howard is having a stinker.

2-1 at the break. Hibbo’s got watch himself in the second half.

Jo has to come out of his shell and shoot a bit more. Saha has to come on at some point so he is match sharp for next weekend!

Hibbert needs bringing off in case of a second yellow ? I can see him giving a penalty away to Young.

If you fall down enough eventually you will get the pen. Unless you?re Fellaini... then you get booked.

What a fantastic game of football ? two points dropped though.

Howard not up to his usual standard (BTW those calling for his head ? have a look how many clean sheets he?s kept this season). Ref was wrong re the penalty ? at worst is was an indirect free-kick.

Some of the the football Everton played was scintillating in the first half ? unfortunately Villa played just as well. I think we?ll still finish above them ? our goal difference and run-in is much better.

The only thing I fear is a collapse in moral if we get beat by Man Utd at Wembley.

Great game. I don't know how I feel really. 2 points dropped, yes and pretty gutted about that, but credit to Villa who were looking deadly too.

Hopefully Jags? knee will be ok and Howard can only play better next match. Goals, a good away point, no new injuries and week to rest up... Bring on Man U!

Thought Pienaar had a really good game; always works hard and tries to find a killer pass... that?s why it sometimes doesn?t come off. Good to see him shooting more. Also Jo is not good enough. A good point and no suspensions or injuries so I?m happy.

Did anyone else hear that prick of a Villa fan at half time, "Moyesy, what are you doing at Everton?" as he walked past?
