NIGEL MARTYN: Draws for concern at Everton as points go begging
YOU don't ever take any game for granted in the modern Premier League. But there's no doubt that Everton have just dropped four points against two teams they will have expected to have beaten.
And the consequences of those home draws will only become apparent as the season progresses.
We have now played a large percentage of what you would call our 'winnable' home games this season.
And by failing to beat Stoke and Wolves we have placed extra pressure on ourselves to either pick up points away from home, or beat one of the leading teams at Goodison.
The frustration of only drawing on Saturday was manifested in Tim Howard's last minute outburst.
I don't think for a second that it was tiredness making Tim grumpy when Stefan Maierhofer cut across him.
I'm sure it was frustration at the way the game had been going.
I was watching Sky Sports on Saturday and when they reported from Goodison Chris Kamara told us he fully expected Tim to be shown a red card. Fortunately it was only a yellow, which, given the run of fixtures Everton have looming, was a major relief.
