Cleen sheets the key - defender
Everton, 08:48, November 4, 2008 ,
Everton defender Joseph Yobo is targeting more clean sheets for the side after finally shaking off their sloppiness at the back.
Despite a normally steady backline, Everton recently went 17 games without keeping a clean sheet, but appear to have turned things around by now going four hours without letting the opposition through.
Yobo now believes they have finally turned the corner, he told the Daily Post: "We've kept two clean sheets and that is very good. We know that the Premier League is very, very difficult and we've been conceding goals recently, so now we are keeping it tight at the back.
"As a team we are working very hard and trying to keep it very tight because we know that if we can do that, then we will score goals - even if it is right at the end.
"But we know that if we keep a clean sheet, then we are likely to win the game."
