MikeO Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Found some interesting stats from last season according to OPTA... Everton conceded 70% of their goals in the second half – the worst proportion. 22% of Everton’s goals came from defenders, the highest proportion of any back line. Crosses and corners attempted and crosses and corners accuracy Bentley 416 25.72% Downing 383 25.07% Young 340 26.76% Arteta 299 26.42% (maybe his delivery not as poor as we thought?)

The Regulator Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 that shooting accuracy is very impressive, wonder how it'll look now we've got no strikers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oztoffee Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Those stats only serve to underline what I've said on here a number of times. As we're well up on shots to goals and accuracy, our poor goalscoring record can only mean we're not getting enough shots in. The forwards (when we had some) didn't shoot enough, always trying to set up a better angle for the shot that ultimately hardly ever happend. A real sign of no confidence and fear of missing in case another chance doesn't come - a self-fulfilling prophecy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
