Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard says manager Roberto Martinez hasn't lost his rag over their current situation.

The Merseysiders go to Newcastle on Sunday in 12th place, having won just one of their last seven games.

Yet Howard, who injured his calf against Stoke on Boxing Day, says the manager remains calm.

"I'd be banging my head against the wall throwing things, and he just has this calm demeanour about him," said Howard.
