Add our lack of goals facts here.

Last season 5 teams in the league scored less goals than us. This year only 3 have scored less than us.(although a number have the same as us)

Perversely in both seasons we have been top half for shots..7th last year and 6th so far this year.

 

This season..same as the last..

Having scored 27 goals in 26 league games this Calendar year, we need to score 21 goals in the remaining 12 games just to equal our worst goal scoring annual performance since returning to the premier league......... I think.

 

Nice fact.

So we need to score 1.75 goals a game?

That’s never going to happen unless we play average teams like Huddersfield, Watford and Swansea?

oops!!!

One for the statisticians: if we haven't already, how many goals do we need to beat our lowest ever goal tally in a calendar year? I cannot remember us ever being so goal shy!

Can't find calendar year stats, just season.

 

Fewest goals scored at home in a season: 10, Manchester City (2006–07)

Fewest goals scored in a season: 20, Derby County (2007/08)

 

We scored 7 in our 10 home PL games Jan-May. 17 goals in the 19 home PL games last season.

3 in our 4 home PL games this season.

 

As shocking as our goal scoring is, it's not quite breaking records, and it's what you'd expect when you replace the likes of Lallana/Lambert or Mane/Pelle with Redmond/Long who average 0.115 and 0.233 goals a game over their careers.

So less than 3 years after scoring 8 goals in one home PL game we have only scored in one of the last 9 home PL games.

Which is a bizarre stat at any level of football

Even more strange the only one we have scored in was scheduled as an away game and the fixture reversed.

 

Didn't we have a white witch remove a curse at SMS not long after we moved in? Is it time we got her back?

I think we can see what the problem is. Old Les has lumbered us with a squad full of 'attacking' players who don't score goals and managers and coaches who can't get them to, and changing managers and buying more players is unlikley to change that if Old Les is choosing them.

 

"Southampton executive director of football Les Reed has claimed that the club boasts the best array of midfield options in the Premier League."

How many of those were scored by the outgoing Pelle and Mane ? Therein lies the problem Puel and MP have failed to resolve .

Let's stop buying defenders like Bednarski or midfield players like Boufal and blow the entire transfer budget on one or two overpaid prima donna goalscorers next summer, if it's not too late.

Jesus Christ, that's absolutely shocking.

 

How can you or anyone be possibly shocked by that?

Les Reed bought 2 CB's and a goalie in the summer to completely cure LAST SEASON'S goal drought problem.

HE is/was the problem and needs getting rid of. How long is it going to take for you all to wake up?
