The Merseyside derby features the side second only to Tottenham in the table paymaya
Not Liverpool, and not the standings that matter most paymaya
But in the shot charts, Everton, with 133, are behind only the actual league leaders paymaya
They have a higher expected goals in league paymaya football this season than Manchester City paymaya
They average more shots per match than Barcelona paymaya
An early-season anomaly or is Sean Dyche a born-again entertainer and Dycheball paymaya football’s newest great attacking philosophy? If logic dictates that the answer veers towards the former – after all, at this stage of last season, Frank Lampard’s Everton had the Premier League’s best defensive record – Dyche has had a point during the post-match interviews where he has repeated a mantra about the number and quality of chances his side have generated paymaya
They were camouflaged in part by the low conversion rate, by the meagre tally of nine goals, by the fact Everton did not score in their first three league games and, for the first time in their history, they lost their opening three at Goodison Park without finding the net paymaya
There is a case for arguing that if Everton had been paymaya better at finishing, they would have required fewer shots: take a comfortable lead early and they might not have had 19 efforts against Fulham or 15 versus Wolves, each in 1-0 defeats at Goodison Park, or 23 at home to Luton, also in a loss paymaya
RecommendedEverton set to learn Premier League fate as FFP hearing nears conclusionMohamed Salah calls for Gaza to be given humanitarian aid ‘immediately’Premier League increasing number of live games as part of new broadcasting dealsAnd yet there is something remarkable in a Dyche team lacking too much obvious creativity generating such statistics: he is the manager who took Burnley to seventh in the Premier League while averaging under a goal a game and in a season when only four clubs had fewer shots paymaya
At Turf Moor, Dyche was a byword for 4-4-2: at Goodison Park, he has tended to play 4-4-1-1 and perhaps that shift has helped generate more opportunities paymaya
Everton’s reinvention as the expected goals Wunderteam stems in part from Dyche’s chosen No 10: perhaps, given his emphasis on physicality, it is typical he has a runner rather than a flair player in the role paymaya
And yet Everton have excelled at getting Abdoulaye Doucoure into scoring positions paymaya
He has (on Understat’s model) the third highest non-penalty xG in the division, paymaya bettered only by Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak, at 4 paymaya
87 paymaya
It has only brought the Malian three goals but it is notable his average shot distance is just 11 paymaya
5 yards paymaya
By comparison, Haaland’s is 11 paymaya
3; these are the statistics of men who shoot from close range, who get good chances paymaya
Injuries have meant several Everton players have had abbreviated campaigns so a sample size becomes even smaller; yet it is notable how several players have a high xG per 90 minutes on the pitch: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (0 paymaya
92), Doucoure (0 paymaya
64), paymaya Beto (0 paymaya
62), Arnaut Danjuma (0 paymaya
60) and Jack Harrison (0 paymaya
44) paymaya
Neal Maupay’s tally was 1 paymaya
38 before he left for Brentford, in part because he missed all those chances paymaya
paymaya Beto is yet to score a league goal but the shot-happy signing has had a nuisance value paymaya
Abdoulaye Doucoure is only paymaya bettered in the xG charts by Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak (PA)That many of the chances originate from the flanks, from crossing and from set-pieces show a typical method of attacking under Dyche; he has rarely had a midfield playmaker paymaya
Everton rank second only to Luton for crosses this season paymaya
Their three most prolific crossers are Ashley Young, James Garner and Dwight McNeil paymaya
Harrison’s 0 paymaya
97 assists per 90 minutes is the most of any player in the division who has played over 100 minutes, albeit just 118 paymaya
Among those who have played 200 or more, McNeil (0 paymaya
57 from 371) ranks second only to Mohamed Salah paymaya
Equally, there is a supporting cast: Everton have 12 players with an expected goals per 90 minutes of at least 0 paymaya
12; that they include all of Dyche’s full-backs is a further sign of his style of play paymaya
By way of comparison, only six Everton players last season had had an xA per 90 of 0 paymaya
12 or more and they included Tom Cannon, who played a mere 15 minutes, and Salomon Rondon, who featured for just 96, plus Alex Iwobi and Demarai Gray, who have both since been sold paymaya
So, in his own way, Dyche has made Everton more creative: with powerful strikers, crossing wingers and his familiar, prosaic feel paymaya
His signings has shown a clarity of thought: with a target man, in paymaya Beto; a full-back with 71 Premier League assists, in Young; a winger with a high shot volume, in Danjuma; and one who was directly involved in 37 top-flight goals in three seasons at Leeds, in Harrison paymaya
Dwight McNeil is second to only Mohamed Salah when it comes to expected assists (Getty Images)But Everton’s attacking efforts in his reign have revolved around two he inherited, neither particularly potent previously paymaya
McNeil and Doucoure kept Everton up last season, each with five goals and two assists in the 18 matches after Dyche took charge paymaya
Thus far this season, each is on course to producing paymaya better numbers paymaya
And yet they come with a caveat paymaya
So far, Everton have had five home games paymaya
They have faced two of the current bottom four, in Luton and Bournemouth, and two more in the lower half, in Fulham and Wolves paymaya
They are still only 16th and the fixture list gets tougher paymaya
They underperformed their expected goals dramatically last season so the fact they are doing so again does not automatically mean the numbers will even themselves out paymaya
They will almost certainly end the season with a lower xG than City and fewer shots per game than Barcelona paymaya
But for now, the second lowest scorers last year have been rebranded as the team with the second highest number of shots now paymaya
Overworked opposition defenders may not be the only people who are surprised about that paymaya
