78

thomo1878 · January 26, 2012

Opta Sports have just tweeted this:

"78 - Everton have allowed the opposition fewer shots on target than any other Premier League side this season."

Although this is quite a remarkable stat for us, we have only kept 4 clean sheets in 22 Premier League games.

...but this stat doesn't mean anything because we can't score goals, and we probably have the last shots on target in the Premier League.

....if only we could score.

Opta Joe deserves gay monkey bum AIDS

Or had an ace keeper.

To be fair to the other Tim he has more goals then Andy Carrol and Toress this year.

I think the shots thing is fair, but most of the goals we concede are the soft goals that get conceded by relegation type fodders really. If anyone scores, it's usually a gift.

Does that mean the defence is ace or Howards gash? See, now I'm thinking: maybe it means you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here... he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. And I'd like that. But that **** ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.

Err where was i?

The problems arent with the defence or the keeper, the problems lie at the other end.

At the other end of the scale, Blackburn can score for fun, but concede like mad, maybe we should have a sniff at their veteran striker Yakubu.

sign him up moylez ffs

Several teams have scored with their first or only shot on target against us this year. Stoke, Norwich, QPR and there are a few more that I can't remember. We've been unlucky at the back and piss poor up front is my belief.

I think we have been badly gash everywhere to be honest mate and your right it was awfull buisness then and now on the Yak - to be fair though the majority of our fans where calling him a fat lazy forty year old.

Was thinking today who would you give player of the season to? Baines, Distin maybe? Prob out of badness i would vote for the Rossmeister.

Right with you boss. You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France?

We have a v. Good defense and holding midfield 2. It's once you get to our front 4 that are problems start.

Our defense is solid but they are always playing under pressure because we don't score or get a couple of goals up in a game. They have to play every game knowing that one little mistake and were fooked!!

Utd city ect concede goals but can score at the other end.
