Goalscoring, do we have a problem on our hands?

We do have a problem....too many of our players can score. Clearly, we are cheating.

Got so many of them we sound like a snake.

Excepting penalties, Skrtel has scored 3 league goals more than £26 million striker Roberto Soldado.  Deadly.

Hasn't he also scored as many League goals this season as £50million Torres.

Young Raheem is doing well on the goal front of late and he'll only get better.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Yak yak, highest scorers currently.

[Guest LFD]

88 goals so far this season!

 

EIGHTY EIGHT!

[Iceman]

Is is quite an incredible stat. 

[Trumo]

We've scored more league goals in the first half of games than Spurs have managed in total all season.

[Pureblood]

Legendary thread.

[Razoray]

The 2 years Code started/restarted this thread we have challenged for the title scoring a serious amount of goals

[MLB]

Another classic Chode thread.

[Adebisi]

All we need is for Code to return in the summer and start a 'Are all our defenders a liability?' thread and we'll be gravy.

Except Agger, he loves Agger.

What's especially enticing is that Coutinho, Sterling and Henderson could all easily improve the consistency of their finishing a bit as well.  All of those could have got double figures in the league this year really with just a bit of improvement.   They're all fairly young and good technically so it wouldn't be a massive surprise if they did. 

Bodes well just in case Suarez and Sturridge aren't quite at the same genius levels next season.

Alternatively they can be and we'll just score 150 goals next season.

[Pureblood]

I reckon Sterling will get double figures next season.  He looks to be the best finisher out of those three. 

 

Hendo sometimes looks awkward when the ball arrives at him.  I think this is a technical issue, not a confidence thing as some other people have suggested.   In short I think he needs to sort his gait out when arriving at the ball.  Apart from that his gait is fine.

 

Coutinho needs shooting practice and might be better served not trying to get so much power in his shots, a little less backlift and more placement.  Test the keeper, Phil.   

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Well the stats suggest you will need to score more than 70 goals to win the league, only twice during the last 16 seasons have proved otherwise.

 

Goals scored from the Champions, second place and us since the PL started:

2007/08: 1- 80 goals, 2- 65 goals, Liverpool- 67 goals

2006/07: 1- 83 goals, 2- 64 goals, Liverpool- 57 goals.

1992/93: 1- 67 goals, 2- 57 goals, Liverpool- 62 goals.

 

 

For all the madness of Chode, this table actually puts our 88 goals (and counting) into some sort of perspective.

 

To update it...

2012/13:  1- 86;  2-66;  LFC-71

2011/12:  1- 93; 2-89;  LFC-47

2010/11:  1- 78;  2-69;  LFC-59

2009/10:  1- 103;  2-86;  LFC-61

2008/09:  1- 68;  2/LFC- 77

 

It's a great sign of the ineffable wrongness of Code that in the last 20 years, he chose to start this thread in our second-highest scoring season, then bump it in our highest scoring season.

I fuckin hate it when looking back at football its as if 1992 is the beginning of time

Code's current schtick is 'if you can't win the league with the two top goalscorers, then questions need to be asked of the management and coaching'.

Which is why it's a pleasure not to have to read his shite in here...

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Code's current schtick is 'if you can't win the league with the two top goalscorers, then questions need to be asked of the management and coaching'.

Just don't ask the players who is responsible for the improved form. The 'no credit to Rodgers' thing was quality, especially when the player came out and did it just after.

[scudger99]

He can shove his shtick right up his fucking hoop.  Nice guy, wrong planet.  His line of crap is definitely not missed.

Out of interest, where is that fucking whopper gone?
