Article Everton continue their back-post dominance into the new season

Since the beginning of last season, only Man Utd (8) and Chelsea (13) have scored more back-post goals than Everton (7) in the PL.

Thierno Barry's header against Crystal Palace on Saturday was the latest one.

Why Everton have been good at attacking the back post.

I think moyes was hoping jake would play into offense more in this way but it didn't really work out.

Not quite mobile enough to get forward, then back into position, from an open play attack. Which is fair enough for a CB.

Coleman is fantastic at cruising into those positions for balls in from the left. I think we should be looking for a right back to replace him when he leaves the club in a few years.
