Nigel Martyn: Everton kept cool against Wigan when it mattered

INTERNATIONAL breaks are the bane of a club manager’s life and that will certainly ring true for David Moyes in the next 10 days.
Just when Everton looked set to build up a head of steam, along comes an unwanted interruption which denies us the opportunity to build on a victory over Wigan Athletic that spoke volumes for this squad’s character.
When Paul Scharner scored midway through the second half, it could have signalled the beginning of the end for a squad that had lost its opening two league games but you never once got that impression that would be the case from the Blues.
True, it helped that Louis Saha got an equaliser not long after Scharner had got the wrong side of Leon Osman but even when the minutes were ticking by, Everton kept trying to pass the ball from side to side.
