Goals!

[Bluebonic]

in light of the current squad and signings (such as they are) where do you see the goals coming from? Baines and Seamus have stopped scoring and our midfield (even with Clev and Del) does not look prolific? So other than Rom and (hopefully) Kevin, I can't see where the goals will come from?

Osman mate.

Naismith, and some people will still hate him.

Let the season start and wait and see

Arouna Koné

At the risk of incurring @mythbuster 's wrath, I'm plumping for Naismith and Kone

Naismith

If our midfielders are played in their correct positions they will chip in

 

[tim cahill]

Rom, Kev, Del and our sexy new number 10 whoever he is!!!

Coleman done o.k goals wise last season didn't he? Got about 6-7 I thought. Baines got about 3-4 didn't he and a whole bucket load of assists even though I thought both were under par for the whole season.

I think Ross will show a huge improvement on his goals return this season, I think Lukaku will bang a lot more goals in the league and Del will slot a few I reckon.

No point panicking, wont do anything.

You never know until the season gets going, i wasnt expecting coleman to get all them goals 2 seasons ago but he did so wait and see.

If ross gets decent again hes good for a few, mccarthy was looking more of a goal threat towards the end of last season, del will bag a few, if we sign a decent playmaker they'll probably chip in, the full backs are always good for a few goals each, Jags scored quite a few, Kone mightve visited a witch doctor in the summer for some good vibes, he might get a few, Rom and Kev are good for at least 35-40 between them

This. Making a remark that Seamus and Baines have stopped scoring before the season starts just baffles me.

Many of our players underperformed last season; this season will hopefully be different, but we will not know until the season starts.

My only genuine concern is that Kone isn't a suitable reserve option for Rom...

Osman mate.

Close thread.

Coleman and Baines still provided and scored more than most full back partnerships and that's even with them performing below the previous seasons standards and Baines 'sharing' penalty and free kick duties last season.

A fit Mirallas and the Deulofeu we all hope to see could easily get 15-20 between them as well.
