It is time that this clown was shown the exit door. I am sick to fucking death of watching this version of "Careless Hands" (remember Gary Sprake @Goodison) move ever closer to Richard Wright territory with each passing week- ergo: sliding towards being the worst keeper in modern EFC history.

Don't make me start listing this guy's calamities here: because I DO have a list.

9 bloody years... It's all summed up by giving Hibbert and Osman new contracts. No side with realistic ambition would have done that. Stiil I can celebrate one FA Cup Final since 1995 ? fuckin hell.

As far as I'm concerned it was a very credible point against a very good Spurs side, especially in fact of our depleted team.

The same problem as usual with a lot of sideways passing with nobody capable of unlocking opposition defences. How many times did we get in behind them? The answer: zero. Stoke will be a different game completely but all-in-all I believe it was a good result.

We beat Birmingham, who by last season were the 9th best team (and this was away) so (completely hypothetically!) if we were continuing this 'disappointing' kind of result over a season we would beat the bottom 10 teams away, draw with the teams 4th to 8th away and lose to the top 3, beating everyone at home because we have beat the top 2 at home this year, that would give us 93 points. Is that form good enough for you?

Negatives, not enough attacking wide play; reason: Spurs have two great wingers so we had to defend more often in those areas. Heitinga, still a concern; Neville seems better there when Hibbert comes on. Howard's mistake came from being too aware of Crouch and not concentrating on catching the bloody ball. Two good saves in the game and quite solid afterwards.

Overall good team performance, Arteta would have loved this game, with the space in the centre. A point earned and gained against a very good side. No complaints from me, more progress and the spirit was for there in spades today.

NB: Thought the ref was very good, ignoring an outrageous biased crowd everytime a Spurs player hit the deck. Fair to both sides. Well done, Everton.

Yak worked hard but had no support (heard that before about Bent, Johnson, Saha etc). Jags and Howard seemed to have communication problems all day. Nev, Hibb, Dist were solid.

Bily? Just imagine how slow he will be when he is 30. I saw a few times when Pienaar passed it for Bily to run onto and he just trotted along and it was picked up by Spurs.

I read today in The Sun that Moyes said Heitinga is unhappy about not playing enough but Moyes told him he has been playing badly. Could not agree more. Sadly for him it seems that Bayern Munich are more likely to bid for Baines, Pienaar or me than him.

Also I thought it was funny today when Ian Darke announced that Russell Osman (sic) would not be playing. Didn't he retire 20 years ago after being in "Escape to Victory."

As for Howard's clanger! ? fuck it, we all make misrakes.

First, that definitely wasn't two points lost - their fatigue (if any) after midweek is, arguably, offset by the fact that half of our first team is injured. That, I think, was a good point to get, considering that Spurs are having their best season for years and we don't have a good record at White Hart Lane.

Second, Howard did cock up for their goal but, as was correctly pointed out by someone responding to Michael, keepers do make the odd cock up and, in the nature of their jobs, they often lead to goals. But for the rest of the game he did well, including with crosses. But for me the real villian of the piece for their goal was whoever was supposed to be looking after Hutton, who could have had a cup of tea before crossing the ball in, he had so much time. Compare that with how Spurs were closing us down on the flanks ? Lennon in the first half particularly. Was this Bily's job and, if so, where the hell was he? (Not only for that goal, but time and again).

As for Bily, I thought that he did next to nothing. Anything he did in this game could have been done by a youth team player. People give Osman a hard time and I certainly don't think Ossie is brilliant but he is a decent, honest fringe player and I think he would have done a lot more today (including closing down Hutton) than Bily did.

Heitinga looking disinterested. I thnk Heitinga is in a bit of a difficult position at the moment, because he patently isn't a midfielder. So part of the problem is that he's out of position. If he is disinterested, then spare a thought for what he must be thinking. You've just come out of playing centre-back for the World Cup finalists and you can't get into a club team before a journeyman (Distin), who was relatively solid today but nearly got caught out with a nightmare non-header today. What must you be thinking?

And, finally, that brings me (the observations about Bily and Heitinga are both relevant here) to some observations about Moyes's signings. Cahill will always be used as an example of an excellent signing by Moyes and that can't be countered. But many of his other signings, in my opinion, are not evidence of much thought and some (Fellaini and Bily spring to mind) are panic buys. Jags is great (man of the match today, I think) but he was bought as a utility player who could play midfield and at the back ? not a specialist centre-back. Fellaini ? not sure that Moyes knows yet how to play him most effectively. Bily ? who knows?

Anyway, we have the squad that we have and I think that we are on the way up. Today was solid and professional, on the whole, and a good point. Who wouldn't have taken four points from the last two games if offered them three weeks ago?

Could we get better? considering we have no money the answer is no. From what I have seen at the WC and in his couple of appearances, Mucha does not fill me with confidence. So on balance I'd rather praise Howard for his mostly good performances for us rather than ocasional clanger.

Can anybody in their right mind offer a convincing case for this man being worthy of a first team place at Everton? No pace; no physical presence; little sign of energetic commitment or involvement ? he is a complete liability. An occasional insightful pass; an occasional shot out of the blue is hardly a return on an investment of some £9 million pounds. The money paid for him is hardly his fault... but what is his fault are the number of insipid performances; the inability to impose a presence on the field with the intention of affecting any sort of outcome.

I am incredulous at how poor he is ? perhaps a genius on the 5-a-side pitch but a complete and utter liability on the bigger stage ? hurry back, Leon!!!

The worrying thought for me is that, depending in Howard's personality, it's possible the pressure is affecting him in a negative sense, making him more nervous and less confident. I don't necessarily believe that, I just raise it as a possibility ? as an outcome from this game, backed up by a previous howler already this season. If Howard had not made the error in this game, I think it's unlikely we would discussing the issue.

It's weird that we've played better than the last two games and got nothing. This reflects a return to basics of getting stuck in and be hard to beat. Result, 4 points.

Got to say, I try and respect all comments, but Fellaini a panic buy, god we miss him, enough said. You feel the team of the last half of the season is back and to lose means, as Moyes said before last season's win over Utd, "they'll have to step over our bodies to get 3 points off us today".
COYB.

Apparently he played with a calf complaint today as well; he could've put Captain Marvel in the middle and Hibbo at RB. Instead of having 6 defenders on the pitch from the start.

Gotta get shot of Bily in January (maybe some mug will give us £6M), maybe even loan out Beckford to a Championship club although selling for £1-2M would do. I wish Moyes would give the young lad Gueye a run out for a change.

And #44, don't spout on about being positive then say Bily is the worst signing in Everton history. Makes no sense.

If you are one of the coach's favourites ? Arteta, Osman, Howard, Neville ? you can fuck up as often as you like. If you are not then without an injury crisis you will get bit parts that will make you look shite or in the case of James Vaughan run yourself into injury. This was two points dropped, no doubt.

Let's be honest here, 1 - 1 against a Spurs side that looked excellent to me. Everton fans have to always look for a problem no matter the result. Hopefully we can get a win against Stoke on Saturday.

I know we all have different views on players but guys please listen not only to those who witness Neville's strengths but also to those that work and play alongside him every day. Bloody good point
