LOVE how you think we could afford 5 gallons of petrol when it took us six weeks to seal a deal for Gana Gueye.

Football was so much better before stats were a thing, the only stat you ever knew about was who’s top of the scoring chartsOh no, not the percentile rankings

It's what happens when the middle classes get involved in football. They have to quantify everything like the good little bourgeois they are.

I'm not the biggest stats man myself but it backs up the poor football we see on display. I also see the little dig you've had at me being 'bourgeois' and as a man who's had to fight homelessness myself I can't help but shake my head. Stats have nothing to do with economic upbringing I assure you.Oh no, not the percentile rankings
They do paint a terrible picture.Oh no, not the percentile rankings

There's a lot of BS in those stats. "Deep completions"....pfffft!
It's not rocket science: we're 4th bottom - are we really expecting these stats to show anything else?
Thats the only stat that matters.

I think 14 points is the stat that matters. It places us within a single game's reach of the bottom of the table or 13th.

Stats viewed in isolation are pointless, and indeed most anyone watching the games can give you a similar analysis to what these stats show. We are a poor team, we do not pass the ball well, we concede boatloads of chances, and we cannot score goals. The argument that it is simply down to the players having failed under previous managers doesn't hold water. The current boss has signed eight players and six of them started vs Bournemouth. I want him to stay but he will have to change the system and soon if he wants to remain Everton manager.
One thing Moyes always did in a poor run was go back to the basics of football. Keeping clean sheets, smart tackles, get a 0-0 and maybe nick a 1-0 on the counter. It's not pretty but Premier League survival rarely is until it's finished. A bit more of the dark arts and some guile and I think we will be fine. This open midfield buisness we have right now just isn't working.

We would have better stats if we could make the ball stick up front like say we had Richarlison in this team we would be easily mid table
