He went over on his ankle quite badly but, nevertheless, we were quite happy to put the young goalkeeper in and I thought he acquitted himself well tonight.

I did not think we played terribly badly when we had the ball but we look very fragile at the moment and liable to concede goals.

He went up for a ball and came down awkwardly on his ankle, badly straining ligaments,

It was our fault that we didn't finish well but also their goalkeeper. That said, we're happy because we dominated the game and we got the three points we needed.

With maybe the exception of the game at Charlton, I think Wayne has been a little bit below the standards he has set -- and he is very aware of that,

We have been in contact with Michael and his advisors - and unfortunately he doesn't see Everton as a team he would choose at this present time.
