Joel Robles

How big does he make himself on one on ones? He's like an aggressive octopus - but one with oversized protruding teeth.

Did well.

Looked more comfortable with the ball than Howard does and made a couple of good saves.

There was one which he should have held but didn't which was no good, but he made a fantastic follow up save.

Good hour or so from him today, least we was on top once he came on, hope that will give him some confidence

So, on todays showing....how good is he now....and how good could he be with a run in the side ?

Future nº1.
Before he was injured he was ahead of De Gea.

Did alright today, wasn't far off scoring the equaliser as well.

Looked decent today. One for the future.

So glad that we have a good backup keeper

has 4 stars or something of 5 in potential ability.

Like Oviedo when he first came in one of the best compliments you can give him is that we didn't miss Howard. Looked composed and did well in a one on one to keep us in it, it's nice to see what must have been pushing Howard all season since it is clear his place is under threat now.

I feel a wee bit better about this guy now.

So, potentially future no1 ? Would be excellent if Oviedo and Robles actually usurped Howard and Baines....next generation.

Did nothing wrong. Wasn't far off getting to the penalty kick and made some decent saves.
Very one footed is the only thing I can find to criticise, which might be an issue when the balls played back to him on his left peg and he's under pressure from an attacker.

He parried a simple shot because his handling isn't the best, recovered with a good point blank save.

I don't think he's a long term Everton 'keeper though, but we've been spoiled with the likes of Southall, Martyn etc. so perhaps we just have impossibly high expectations.
