Tim Howard[LNB]TIM HOWARD today called for Everton to show greater composure in two-leg European ties after they conceded a deflating late goal against Sporting at Goodison.[LNB]The keeper believes the Blues must learn to tighten up in the Europa League, as he also lamented the news of Marouane Fellaini's six-month injury lay-off.[LNB]A scan on the Belgian's injured ankle confirmed Everton's worst fears that the injury will require surgery and likely rule him out for the rest of the season.[LNB]Howard said: 'I feel like Marouane has been amazing over the last three months.[LNB]'He has really been making us go. He's been all over the pitch, heading balls, getting it down and playing.[LNB]'He's been unplayable to a certain extent, which you actually saw growing and then this happens.[LNB]'It doesn't surprise me the way our injuries have been this season. It feels like we're under a black cloud but it's unfortunate for him as well because individually he's been amazing.'
