Goals Thread - 2021/22 | League (99) All Comps (150)

Ten goals from nine different scorers.

Not a bad start:

Torres - 2
OG - 1
Grealish - 1
Laporte - 1
Sterling - 1
Mahrez - 1
Gündoğan - 1
Jesus - 1
Rodri - 1.
It’s why the rags use to win so much when the modern game started in 1992. Said this before on this forum when was the last time a center forward actually won the league single handed?
 
This is kind of why the false 9 Guardiola setup is so jarring at times.

We have this accepted notion of the classic 20 goal striker, yet we absolutely teabagged the entire league last season after giving them a 2 month headstart using a system that IIRC produced the most individual goalscorers on a team in the Prem.

I agree although today Torres has played as a 9 not a false 9. Could be 20 goal striker, he has all the instincts.

This is why it was very wise of City not to go anywhere near that £160m for Harry Hotspur. Every season our goals are spread out around the squad. Sometimes with five players in double figures and we’re always the top scorers in the league.

That would have been a lot of money for a 28 year old to give us four years of doing what we’ve always done and will always do anyway.

Lukaku was bought for £103m to make that difference in big games for Chelsea yet he was bobbins yesterday at Anfield, tripping over the ball, over hitting passes.

To be fair, we haven’t played with a False 9 yet this season. Torres has played as a striker in all three games.
