the top scorer in Rafa's first La Liga title was Baraja with 12 goals but they had several players with 9-10 goals

 

 

Baraja as the leading scorer in Valencia's first title win scored 6 Goals.

 

I believe Mista scored 19 Goals, in all competitions, in their second la liga success under Rafa.

It's not bitching as far as I'm concerned, it's looking for areas where we can improve. Rafa himself has said a few times recently that we have a problem with finishing teams off when we're dominating them, and let's facet, if you have 27 shots on goal and only score once, and your strikers have about 12 goals between them for the season, it's pretty easy to see the one area where you can improve. You can't just say "everything is great because we're winning". I doubt that's what Shankly would have done, and I doubt that Rafa is going to do that either.

As a manager who studies the statistics Rafa should know that we do need a goalscorer. We are currently 17th in the Premiership when it comes to goals scored/shots ratio. That proves we don't convert enough chances.

Of course it doesn't prove that. The object of football is to win by scoring more goals than the other team. Therefore, enough is how ever many it takes to achieve that aim. We could miss 99 chances and still score the one that counts in a 1-0 victory. I'm surprised at you Hermes: you've finally started treating your own statistical manipulations as fact.
