Jagielka targets clean sheets

12 October 2011 13:51
Everton defender Phil Jagielka is disappointed the club have not secured more clean sheets this season ahead of their trip to Chelsea.[LNB] The Toffees are renowned for keeping things tight at the back under David Moyes, although they have kept Premier League opposition scoreless just once this season.[LNB]Everton shut out Blackburn at Ewood Park at the end of August, however, Moyes' troops still required Rovers to miss two penalty kicks in the game.[LNB]Jagielka is not happy with his personal form and is determined to help Everton keep more clean sheets over the next month, starting with their weekend trip to Stamford Bridge.[LNB]"Am I happy with my form? No, not really," he told the Liverpool Echo.[LNB]"I've given away a couple of penalties which is very frustrating, but I suppose that's what happens if you're a defender.[LNB]"I'd love to be standing here and saying 'yes, I'm really, really happy' but I analyse my own game and set pretty high standards and hopefully in a month's time we'll have kept a few clean sheets and if you ask me the same question I'll be a lot happier."[LNB]Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas will be without record signing Fernando Torres through suspension, although Jagielka knows there will be plenty more attacking weapons to silence.[LNB]"Fernando Torres won't be available because of a suspension but they have plenty of strength in depth," he concluded.
