Holy shit we're gonna do it !
See, we're going to win the league!
Last season we missed out on 4th by just two points. We lost 12 games, and scored 74 goals but conceded 61.
If we conceded just ONE goal less (or scored one more) in the home game v Villa we'd have drawn. But the knock on means we'd have had 67 points, Villa would have had 66. And we'd have been 4th.
It's not as dramatic a gap as you think. The gap to 3rd was huge of course, but not to 4th. Small margins.
Werner 4? Can't see that tbh
What a ridiculous post, how can you assume these figures?
Will it be in 4 separate games or will it be 1 goal in one game and a hat trick in another? Any headers?
Maybe a couple off of his arse in one game maybe
If we'd played any of those late season losses like we performed v Citeh we'd have finished comfortably clear of Villa. Best I don't think about it too much otherwise I'd be Ange out
I'm not sure they are ridiculous.
Solanke - If he is our main striker; no reason why he shouldn't be hitting 15+ goals.
Son - Always scores a shed load of goals.
Richy - Got 11 goals last season in just 1400 minutes.
Madds - If he stays fit all season, 10 goals would be a decent target for him
Kulu / Johnson - Both have a very keen eye for goal; and scoring 8 in a season would be on the low end for a attacking player.
Werner - Again, a backup attacker who will likely get minutes against tired legs towards the end of games. 4 goals doesn't seem unrealistic.
Odobert - With our attacking set up, our wingers should be expected to pitch in with goals.
Really....that's very surprising
That's because you clearly don't watch the games. Otherwise it wouldn't be surprising.
You can’t predict how many goals a player will score …silly….let alone every player. It’s not fantasy football for Gods sake.
Pay attention instead of gobbing off about how shit everything/everyone is then.
He was just making a point that it's totally do-able to spread goals around a team so you don't need a golden boot winner to win a title.
Arse had the same GD as City and scored a whopping 5 less.
Saka was their top scorer. If he got 5 more, he'd still have been 5 behind Haaland and only on 21
IMO, spreading your goals is a more stable plan than relying on a finisher. But we all want the glammer of a golden boot race.
That one would have given Woolwich the title, though.Or beaten Man City at home like we normally do
A better example would have been beating Woolwich at home like we regularly have done in recent years.
I think the biggest obstacle to us winning the league is our defence (which Ange has no intention of addressing).
I was being very deliberately provocative - the grenade throw into the room was the indicator...That one would have given Woolwich the title, though.
