Stats nerds have been obsessed with Everton this season.
Even managed to convert some Everton fans into stats nerds.
Not the guardian jinxing us, 12 point deduction when I wake up tomorrow morning.
I have no problem with the premise of the headline, but how tired do you think the headline writer was when he wrote “and the stats suggest…they will go higher”. If raw cauliflower was a sentence.
How is this counterattacks stat being measured?
Only Wolves (14) have attempted more counterattacks than Everton (13) in the Premier League this season and, while they are yet to score a goal from these efforts, it’s only a matter of time before they reap the rewards.
Screw the meaning of life, I need the philosophers to figure out when a counter attack turns into a regular attack.
Can they get much higher?
