2013/14: 1,045 goals scored

TOTAL: 5,259 goals scored

CONCLUSION: La Liga is better defensively than the Premier League.

 

You cannot judge it from that stats. It could be EPL attack is better than la liga

 

i agree, that could be coz most clubs have rubbish strikers...

I think you take how many goals the top 5 teams scored against the rest...

anyway its well known Italian football still has the most defensive mindset/tactics whilst elsewhere the game is much more open...

 

anyway, the defending in La Liga has pretty much always been a joke, EPL is easily ahead. watch the games instead of looking at stats, people.

 

Have you watched some of the defending by EPL sides ? Easily ahead my ass. The fact that you pile 8 lumps in your 5 yard box during corner kicks and pretend its some tactical masterpiece doesnt make your defending better. Not saying that La Liga teams would be some sort of paragon of defensive play but the level of defending from shit teams from both of the leagues is on equally shit level.

Last season for example, the best defensive team in Europe was from Spain for example.

 

I would think the XT troll artists would be able to catch me out on my own trolling attempt but I guess not. p

 

Still with your attempt at trolling you still provided more valuable information than the other pretend serious posters are able to

 

The real question is if they can measure up to Brazilian league defending.

 

You joker

 

Brazilian league or Brazilian NT lolz??

 

With attacking fullbacks three
man midfields modern wingers
centre backs are left stranded in
every league. Increasingly so in
Serie A tho certainly
still a slower/tactical brand.

The fact that keepers are so good
right now and centre backs
still know how to win headers
is the only thing that keeps
the scores somewhat traditional.
Both leagues are not great
with very few stubborn
teams in either league.

I'd pick LaLigas top 4 as the better
defence of the two leagues.
The Spanish tiki takka pass back
to the goalie constant triangles is
a superior defensive system to the
top 4 English teams tactics of parking
the bus and or long ball clearance into
the channel notions.

Overall though EPL wins out as
LaLiga mid table and bottom
teams are virtually second division
quality these days.This is why Ronaldo scores
more in LaLiga than EPL.The minnows are
much weaker all around.


EPL has the better defence.

 

Bundeadliga, when you create polls, make sure they're public. So that I can laff at the ones who vote for the wrong options.

EPL teams conceded a record number of goals in 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons. Last season, it was a bit better. In comparison, La Liga defenses have improved and have been better than EPL's these past few years.

La Liga teams not being able to defend or La Liga mid-table and lower-table teams sucking in comparison mid-table and lower-table teams from other top leagues were true only in the past (esp when you compare to Serie A mid- and lower-table clubs of today). The majority of La Liga teams figured out that the closest they'll come to competing with Barca and Real is through youth programs, and that's what they focused on, and that's what made them better. And maybe the coaching is more tactically sophisticated too now.

A lot of people are slow to change as usual.



Seriously, what's with the stanzas?

 

Bad attempt at Haiku?

 

Your girlfriend likes my poetry.




...just kidding

.........it just happens that way sometimes

 

I only know the Eredivisie has the worst defense of all leagues.
