This Premier League match-up between Fulham and Everton at Craven Cottage on the 30th of January was quite a statistical spectacle, despite the scoreline ending in a goalless draw.

Fulham appeared to be the significantly more proactive squad in terms of offense, making a total of 40 shots towards the Everton goal, with 6 specifically on target, from which they unfortunately couldn't capitalize. Their extensive 34 shots off target underline the aggressive approach the team had, yet also highlights elements of inaccuracy and squandered chances. Notably, the Fulham offensive pressure was also evidenced by a total of 15 corner kicks throughout the game.

On the defensive end, Fulham's discipline was commendable with only 6 fouls committed and a single yellow card awarded to Joao Palhinha during the first half of the match. It seems that maintaining possession and restricting Everton's play was a part of the Fulham strategy, evidenced by the team's offside count of 3.

Everton, on the other hand, adopted a more conservative approach compared to their counterparts. The Toffees only managed 3 shots on target out of an overall 31 shots toward the Fulham goal. Everton's set-play numbers were also low, with just 6 corners taken throughout the entirety of the game.

An area of concern for the Toffees was their discipline, which saw them commit double the amount of fouls than Fulham (12), leading to two yellow cards in the first half – one for Ben Godfrey and another for Jarrad Branthwaite - increasing the pressure on their defence.

In comparing the teams' performances, Fulham demonstrated more pressure in their offensive manoeuvres, attempting significantly more shots and winning more corners. However, their lack of precision and final finish led to many opportunities going astray. Everton, on the other hand, adopted a more defensive approach, which, although restrictive in offensive ground, protected them from conceding any goals. However, they will need to address the disciplinary issues highlighted by the number of fouls and cards received.

In conclusion, while both teams had their noteworthy moments during this encounter, their inability to convert chances into goals and Everton's leisurely approach to play made the significant difference in this stalemate game. An aggressive yet accurate play and better disciplinary control might have swung the game either way, but it's clear from the statistics; both teams have specific areas to work on moving forward.
