Tim Howard shell-shocked by Everton FC's poor start to the season
Tim Howard 300[LNB]SHELL-shocked Tim Howard today admitted he is mystified at Everton's repeatedly poor starts to the season.[LNB]The USA goalkeeper was dismayed after the Blues' defeat by Aston Villa yesterday left them still in search of their first win and near the bottom of the Premier League table.[LNB]But Howard insisted there is no time for excuses if Everton are to stop their poor start before it leaves them with too much ground to catch up on their top four rivals.[LNB]He said: 'I was saying to someone in the dressing room, you look at our team, and the squad we've assembled and this is a really, really strong team and yet there are just times when we don't look it.[LNB] 'Last year when we finally hit our stride in January and February we were knocking out the top teams and we should be because of the team we have.[LNB]'But for some reason, I don't know, it's just not happening. I don't know why, it's so hard to put your finger on. We've started slow once again, and it's not going to get any easier.[LNB]'Nobody is feeling the frustration worse than us in the dressing room. We've got to go in there and hang our heads, then pick ourselves up. We deserve better but you do get what you work for so we need to carry on.'
