KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Benitez - 550 goals in all competitions

Not sure how this compares to our competitors but 100 goals on average per season sounds quite healthy for a supposedly defensive team.

Boring, boring Rafa

Where is Emp, he normally brings the positivity to these kind of threads

kuyt has his critics, and rightly so, there are aspects to his game tht are attrocious, but that said, i really enjoyed his goal celebrations the other night. especially the second one which was reall angry and he was running away saying "f*ck off, f*ck off!". class.

the last 2 season we have finished with the most goals in all competitions the season before last and last season we where top scorers in the premier league, as i have said forever we are not a defence team

The reason we're not an attaking side this season is due to injuries to our best eleven. Our squad lacks depth so the Rafa plays a defensive formation in the hope of not losing but when we do get our best eleven on the pitch there will be more attack. Just like we have for the past two season in particular!!
that said, our football is not as pleasing on the eye as Arsenal but I think we're more consistent too.

even when we have our best players on the pitch we never played attacking footie this season - if we had gone for it then i could put up with the position being poor as a result of injuries etc ..... it is the cowardice of defensive footie allied to the decision to always place the champions league first in priorities that tells me that rafa won't win us the league ..... he learnt nothing from last season when we did play attacking footie

Scoring lots of goals doesn't mean you are an attacking side. It can mean that you get alot of goals on the counter after stcking the box or that we have attacked sporadically during games and got lucky a lot.

When looking at the goal return you should also look at the goals against, fouls commited, time spent in our own half, etc. Goals scored is not the only indicator.
