    Everton have now gone six Premier League games without keeping a clean sheet. I'm sure that will irk Roberto Martinez. But barring a magical ending, they will take the points tonight.

  2. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:41 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2014

    That's more like it. Seamus Coleman has been unusually reserved tonight but a lungbuster of a run is found by Ross Barkley, the Irish full-back puts his head down and his foot through it, cracking hit but Rob Green pushes it away.

    "QPR are on top at the moment. They need to put the ball into the box, test Sylvain Distin and Phil Jagielka and be more ruthless when they get into those positions."

    Everton deserve to concede that goal, they've totally turned off since going 3-0 up.

    Hello! Out of nothing, QPR have one back and Bobby Zamora has his first of the season. Good feet from Jordon Mutch as he switches the ball and gets a shot off, Tim Howard can only parry it out and Zamora has an open goal. A fist pump and a quick gather of the ball. Zamora believes. Do you?

    Somebody told me recently that Samuel Eto'o has got a car worth £1.5m (MILLION!) parked in a garage in Manchester. Imagine backing into that by accident? We won't be doing knock-for-knock.

    Leroy Fer - who nearly joined Everton once upon a time but failed a medical - is rested for the last few minutes as Niko Kranjcar gets a run out. Change up front for Everton too as Romelu Lukaku is switched for Samuel Eto'o.

    I'm running out of ways to tell you the same thing here. QPR are having all of the ball, Everton are watching them, Tim Howard hasn't had a shot to save.

    Leave your name and number and I'll call you back if anything happens.

    "QPR's play has deserved a goal. Everton haven't been brilliant but they've done what they've had to do. The goal before half-time killed this game and it wasn't just that goal, it was the way it went in via that wicked deflection."

    Aiden McGeady made the third goal but now he is off, with Steven Pienaar on in his place.

    Into the last 20 minutes at Goodison Park. Phil Jagielka remains very vocal in the Everton back four, but the intensity in the game has totally gone. That third goal has put a sleeper hold on it. Tap out.

    "You sense in the last few minutes that Everton have taken their foot off the gas. A substitution might just inject a bit more life back into the game. It's a big moment for Everton in their season and they just need to relax a little bit."

    Everton are at Southampton on Saturday, while QPR face West Brom. Harry Redknapp's side will need another home win - and they will have Charlie 'prolific brickie' Austin back in the side.

    "QPR find themselves in really nice situations and play really nice football but when they get to the 18-yard box they lack that bit of devilment.

    "You need to pick up a couple of victories away from home if you want to survive. You can't rely entirely on your home form."

  15. CLOSE!published at 21:24 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2014

    Everton have mentally banked the three points and gone home. They're already thinking about the game at the weekend. QPR seeing all of the ball now, freeing Mauricio Isla down that right wing again, he cuts it back to Jordon Mutch - who leans back and fires high over the bar. Poor finish.

  16. Postpublished at 21:22 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2014

    Mauricio Isla has impressed me for QPR tonight. He has been up and down all night, has a fine first touch and looks to thread balls into feet. Now he has Bobby Zamora to aim at too, but the England man hasn't seen much of the ball yet.

  17. Postpublished at 21:20 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2014

    Joey Barton has a shot well blocked and chance for Everton to counter! Steven Naismith has three men up front but he punts the ball out of play out wide. Poor ball.

  18. Postpublished at 21:18 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2014

    Decent spell from QPR as they switch the ball out wide but Kevin MIrallas puts the tractor beam on and closes down Mauricio Isla, putting it out for a corner.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:16 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2014

    Play-off legend Bobby Zamora is on for QPR. He hasn't scored this season. Just the four needed in half an hour tonight Bob.

    Zamora replaces Matty Phillips. 4-4-2.

    QPR are the first team to concede 30 times in the Premier League in 2014-15 as an Everton fan strips down to just his blue pants. No need for that just yet.
