Statistics supporting Everton’s “National League performance” following Sean Dyche’s censure

Opinions on Everton’s performance against Crystal Palace varied, with former player Michael Ball criticizing the team’s tactics, likening them to a lower-league style of play.

The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with substitute Amadou Onana rescuing a late point for

Everton after Jordan Ayew had put Palace ahead.

Manager Sean Dyche defended his team’s performance, stating that being the favorites sometimes makes winning even harder.

He expressed satisfaction with their second-half display despite the overall disappointment among Evertonians.

An analysis of Everton’s performance reveals a reliance on long-ball tactics during the match, as evidenced by their high number of long passes attempted, the most in the Premier League for that matchday.

However, they also recorded the highest number of successful long passes,

suggesting some effectiveness in this strategy.

Additionally, Everton showed improvements in various passing metrics compared to their season averages.

They made more passes and successful passes against Palace than their usual numbers,

including passes to the final third and successful dribbles.

While these statistics may offer some insight into Everton’s approach and effectiveness,

the general consensus was that the match was not aesthetically pleasing, and Everton’s quest for a win continues.
