Sylvain Distin 300
SYLVAIN DISTIN believes that clean sheets – not greater firepower – will be the key to an Everton revival this autumn.
The Goodison outfit have scored just four goals in their six Premier League games to date, with focus falling on the club’s goal-shy strikers.
But Saturday’s goalless draw at Fulham was Everton’s first clean sheet of the campaign and Distin believes that is an equally significant statistic.
“The clean sheet is not only for the defenders it’s the whole team,” he said. “If we don’t have any help from the strikers or the midfielders you can’t do anything.
“It’s a team, sometimes you can make individual mistakes but you always have someone behind you to clean up.
“It’s not only about me and Jags, we obviously get on well and we don’t need to talk too much because we have a good understanding, but it’s all about team work.
