I know we only got 2 against Shakhtar but we missed so many chances. The penalty, Sterling sitter, KDB one on one, Sane could have squared it to a teammate for a tap in on multiple occasions, Sergio's volley that he could have also squared to Sane for a tap in. We've scored 16 goals in our last 3 in the league and could have legitimately had more in those games. If we are ruthless in that run of games against Stoke, Burnley and West Brom we could rack up some serious numbers. I think I'm right in saying the most goals we've scored in one Premier League match is 7 vs Norwich at home. We're more than capable of breaking that record against a team at the bottom of the table who play open football e.g. Bournemouth providing we take all of our clear cut chances. 8 goals in one match would make this target a lot easier to reach. We probably still wouldn't be 1st on MOTD even if we won 8-0 though.
Except that we are often first on, sometimes even to my surprise. With regard to 100 goals it has not been achieved very often but I put my £20 on at 33-1. A much better bet I went for was 80 goals which I got at 5-4. I wish I had put a large amount of money on. I wouldn't even call it a bet, more an investment with a guaranteed return!
Aguero won't miss that many games really, and 22 in 7 is a great return. Stoke and Burnley next up are a good test without Aguero to see if we are still free scoring.Going to be a lot harder without Aguero's goals for the next few weeks and Mendy's crossing for the rest of the season. The good news is that it looks like KDB is stepping up in Kun's absence and hopefully Merlin will start to chip in with a few too. Sane and Sterling's goals are invaluable when your top striker is out for 1-2 months and of course I'm sure Gabby will do us proud while Sergio is out.
