Reds' 35 shots set European record

Discussion in 'Liverpool' started by Super G Ted'inho, Feb 19, 2013.

  1. Liverpool outdid Europe's best sides last weekend by registering more shots in a single match than any other team in the continent's top leagues have managed this season.

    During a powerhouse display at home to Swansea on Sunday, the Reds tried their luck on 35 occasions and found the back of the net five times.

    A massive 22 efforts were launched in the first half against the Welsh side as Brendan Rodgers' side unknowingly established a new record for 2012-13.

    Search through the fixtures in France, Germany, Italy and Spain - as well as the Barclays Premier League - and you'll find that no other team has delivered such a shot-filled performance.

    Fellow English sides Tottenham, Newcastle and Everton hold second to fourth place in the standings respectively, while Italian outfit Roma round out the top five.

    Liverpool also recorded 29 attempts when they hosted both Aston Villa and Sunderland earlier this season, giving the Reds three entries in the top 20.

    Twice before the men from Anfield have racked up 35 shots in one match - when they welcomed Fulham in 2006-07 and Birmingham during the 2009-10 campaign.

    Shame we didn't get 35 goals... ;)

    I guess I need to be satisfied with a meer 5.

    To think last year we were hitting woodwork 35 times a game... slightly exaggerating.

  6. There was a woodwork watch thread at the start of the season but it obviously fell off the radar <laugh>

  7. Drinking to numb the pain...? What did you do wrong to get shot so many times?

    Probably, proof that this wasn't Rodgers' style, it was all Kenny. <ok>

    Yes I believe we did.

    Thankfully, we're starting to score more goals this season. Already overtaken our goal tally for the whole of last season, despite having 11 games left <ok>

    The 35 shots and 5 goal domination was caused by an echo-effect from the Rafa era.

    Imagine if Rodgers had come in and not worked to solve the goalscoring problem...someone on here would have had a field day with that eh <whistle>

    Did we also get another record notched up for only netting 5 goals from 35 shots?
