Everton: Fans concerned as stat reveals worrying conclusion

Everton fans have illustrated their worries after a stat has revealed they are one of a number of teams across Europe that have conceded the least amount of shots, despite finding themselves 15th in the Premier League.

The Toffees have not had the best start to the season, with six defeats in the first 12 games and have conceded 18 goals.

As a result of the club’s slow start, manager Marco Silva has come under intense pressure from pundits and the Gwladys Street faithful, with some already wanting a managerial switch.

Everton’s have won three times in their last five games in all competitions, but have only picked up four league victories all season and scored just 13 goals.

Despite the disappointing start, David Alexander Hughes (via @DAHughes_) revealed on Twitter some worrying reading for Toffees’ fans.

Supporters were concerned with the number of goals they are conceding and made their feelings clear on social media.

Here you will find some of the worried comments from Everton fans:

So nearly a quarter of the shots faced go in according to our goals against ratio …🤔🤔

Not great really

We just make mistakes in the final third alot, we give our opponents chances rather then them making them. Then we are missing a keeper that can save us when the mistakes are made.

How do we concede so many 😩

Empasises our earlier weakness at setball siuations – zonal marking being the main culprit and that is on the manager for not addressing it sooner.

They just keep going in.

Read a Statsbomb article saying the quality of strikes we’ve faced has been unfortunately high.
