Magnificent Seven

So we've played 3 games so far and have had 7 different goal scorers so far. That's gotta be a good omen. If Jelavic can continue his form from last year and get up around 20 for the season, and the rest continue to chip in as they have thus far then it really does bode well.

Thats how we've rolled in the last few seasons. Spread the goals out amongst the squad. If we have a couple of guys who get into double figures (felli, Jelavis and SuperKev) then we should do well.

I expect most first teamers to score this season. Hibbo included.

How many different goalscorers did we have last year too? It's a good thing having it spread around, shows we have more than one option when it comes to scoring goals and keeps the opposition on their toes. Really nice to see us putting out a team of players who are eager to find the back of the net too.

How long did it take for us to have 7 different goal scorers last year?

Now that's a scary thought, we were badly Adam last year.

To be fair only 5 games, but we had a couple of penalties included in that for Arteta and Baines.

Was reading somewhere that they reckon you need to score around 70 goals to get near top four qualification. With the look of this team we can do that!!!

 

[Bruce Wayne]

For the record, last season we had 19 goal scorers, but only Jelavic got past double figures (11), with the next highest scorer Big Vic with 6.

I know it's amazing..
but don't underplay Jela..he can do atleast 30!!

An exciting stat that.Good to see our fringe players chipping in with a goal or two.Albeit against a league one side.In saying that,we have a knack of struggling against weaker teams so lets keep this goal scoring form rolling into Hawthorns of the weekend..

 

[ArtetaMagic]

Naismith yet to score, im sure he'll be good for ten goals this season

I'm hoping he's gonna get his fare share too.

Great point, one of the keys things these last couple of games it has occurred to me that we have a completely different look on the field. Like Newcastle last year, when they got in alot of new players, we have got in from what it seems a solid bunch of players that gel extremely well.

In comparison to last year were everyone knew what they should expect, and we had no aces in our sleeve, it's looking quite positive.

Posted an article last year stating that if we could score about 20 more and concede only what we did last year that woud almost certainly see us do something special(I don't want to say it).

There will be injuries and at some point there will be a poor run of form but we've got so many dangerous options I can't help think we'll score the goals needed.

we just need to carry on the way we're playing. We created so many chances in our first 2 league games and if we continue in that vain we know we have players who can put the chances away.

We all know Jelavic is a great finisher but Pienaar, Mirallas, Naismith, Fellaini and Osman all get into good goalscoring positions, Gibson has a good dig from range, Baines from set pieces and Distin and Jags can be a threat from corners. We're a strong all round team
