Who will score the goals this season...

Todd said:
4th most goals in the league as it stands now, but after the teams below us in that stat complete their games in hand that could easily drop to 6th.

For a point of reference, scoring 16 goals in our final 14 league matches would bring us level with what we scored last season (57). Given our electric form this season we should definitely eclipse that, but even winding up on 65 goals or so in the league is a far cry from where we'll need to be to compete for the league. City had 99 last season, Liverpool 94. In a typical season the top teams are in the 80s.

Hate that we're overly-reliant on Rashford to score goals. If he goes down with an injury our entire season is sunk.

I wouldn't worry about that too much, we'll only improve from here on and hey we're not that far off from the top as is.

1-0 and 4-0 wins are still the same 3 points earned. As the old saying goes, defense wins titles. So while City and Liverpool may have been scoring for fun, they didn't win the title because of scoring close to 100 goals. They won the title because whether they scored 1 goal or 3, they got all 3 points more often than not...

Perhaps not. But other than you or saw it coming ? At the end of last season I would have let him go on a free to save his wages. Now he's absolutely on fire. I feel that Sancho is now enjoying playing and we may see something similar with him.

I got that one totally wrong.

So glad theCaf doesn't run the team. Imagine giving up on an academy graduate after one bad year. A year in which the entire team was awful...
