We put three past Everton at Goodison, so it's not unimaginable.5 goals.
We ll not be able to score them. The other team would need to put 2 into their nets to make it happen
What're the chances we'll score 5 goals in one game from open play this season?
- Thread starter MZX7
- Start date
no chance
People who reply just looking at the title of the thread without reading the OP makes everyone else tear their hair out.
This is an attempt at a reverse jinx thread isn't it?!
On a serious note I think we take our foot off the gas completely and seem to sit back and invite the opposition onto us after we go ahead. It means we rarely dominate a game for the full 90mins. I'd love for us to go for the jugular but I don't know if this team has got that in them (desire rather than ability).

Yes, in one game in particular.
We scored 89 goals that season, the argument is contrived gibberish. Our attacking threat wasn't the issue, it's that in 2 games (Everton and City) that season we stupidly went for more goals instead of taking what we had and shutting up shop. We won by 3+ goals 9 times and scored 5 5 times.
Could easily happen.
Anyone who thinks this is impossible under Van Gaal clearly hasn't been watching. Just because the chances on goal are low doesn't mean there hasn't been dangerous play.

Today.
Every chance if we play some absolute pony in the FA cup.
Failing that, Bournemouth at home last day of season

It is what it is, from a mathematical it isn't wrong. You can never score too many goals.
Less than 0% chance.
Even under Fergie we used to sit back after going 1/2-0 up and allow the opposition back into it. Frustrates the hell out of me that we don't batter teams when in the position to.

It's rare there's a need to "batter" anyone.
In fact is there not an unwritten rule in Italy that teams should stop trying to score once they've got 3/4 goals ahead? Out of respect for their opponent.
I certainly don't look fondly on the 8-2 dishing we gave Arsenal in 2011 in comparison to the more competitive games over the years. It just reminds me how shite Arsenal were at the time.
You can concede too many while going for them though.
Indeed (something I never denied btw
).So football focus said we've only had more shots on goal than sunderland this season. No one else. Wow.
Id be happy if we scored 1 ffs.
Not really working so far
What are the chances we will have 5 shots on goal in the game?
That alone is becoming worryingly difficult for us
5? Let's try 1 for starters.
I'd be surprised today if anyone thinks we can score more than one goal today. The way it's going zero is worth a shout.
It says open play. Will probably take a penalty or freekick lol
The OP meant 5 in a month right?
Conceded 2 vs Stoke, Soton, Swansea
Conceded 3 vs WH, Norwich, Everton
Conceded 5 vs City, Spurs
Tomorrow is the day we go big right? RIGHT?

a week i think.
Bournemouth are a side growing in confidence and brimming with energy and we're without our two best midfielders. It will be tight.
At the current rate - I would take 5 goals between tomorrow and the end of the season...total.
What's the chances we will score 5 goals between now and the end of the season?
0
Damn got ninja's by 2 minutes.
That will teach me for not reading until the end of the thread.The rest of the season is more plausible.Its early morning here, i havent got my coffee yet...so i misread the tittle.
I thought you were suggesting that we have scored 5 open game goals all season which to be frank is more plasuable then scoring 5 in one season
PS i meant i one game
I got lucky! Didn't even get past OP before I posted.Damn got ninja's by 2 minutes.
Maybe after we buy an exceptional attacking talent in Jan 2016. Maybe.
0.0%
That game was so promising.
Even Rooney was alright.Just about zero. 1%?
The amount of LvG fanboys is frankly quite baffling ?? 18 months to clear out the 'deadwood'...the same deadwood that would probably destroy the current team we have, achieving our 'trophy' last season of top 4 (how's that working out?), shoring up the defence, yeah right and still in transition. Doing a great job by all accounts.
We couldn't even score 5 goals during a penalty shoot-out so what chance during open play. Never gonna happen !

5 goals in 5 games would be an improvement, but I really can't see it happening, the squad is decimated and we need to improve over our results when it wasn't as bad as now.
Once we do, will we start a thread asking when we will score 6?
