Goals - will we have enough?

To be fair I think 20-25 is realistic for Vardy considering his form under Brendan and two previous seasons where he's scored 20 goals. Perez could get 15, but 10 is probably more realistic I agree.

True - but you're also relying on an injury free season. 

 

Even though there has been no sign of it, he might start slowing down a bit (you can lose  your pace very quickly at his age) and not to mention other teams having another year of data to help nullify him. 

 

I hope I'm wrong obviously and he bangs in 30 goals, but too many variables to be confident of 20-25 goals IMO.

If outside Vardy,other players up their Tallies,that will be enough.Even single goals,could tip a game....

I see Maddison improving again his game,and his goal tally.

Morethan Tielemans,it could be Maddison who takes us that step further,obviously more so with Tielemans support...

That is true. All these numbers are relying on a 35+ game season. However, I think he'll still bang them in even if he starts to lose his pace. His positioning and intelligence mean that he could adapt his game, which is especially possible in a possession based system.

Targets for our players should be:

 

Vardy 20

Perez 10

Maddison 10

Tielemans 10

One of Gray, Barnes or Albrighton getting 5 would be a start!

 

Which is more than possible considering what they did last season.

With a tight defence we don't need to score loads. When we won the prem we were hardly free scoring in a lot of games. Win 1-0 every week the titles ours

Maddison had the highest stats in the league for chances created last season. If he can recreate that this season, and adding Tielemans quality to the engine room can only see us creating more. I do agree though that Vardy, whilst obviously our main striker, cannot be relied on to do it all on his own. Hopefully Perez will weigh in with a few and we really could do with more coming from our defenders at set pieces (some of you may remember the amount of goals that Walsh and Elliot used to contribute). That said I think we should be looking good to top the 60 mark this time around.

Rodgers isn't exactly known for his clean sheets tbf.

[reynard]

Only if Vardy stays fit and in form. Otherwise we could struggle. I still think our striking options are too limited.

0 chance Vardy will get 25 goals. If he gets 20 that will be absolutely amazing.

When Vardys pace starts to go can we just give him Grays?

Barnes will bag 10 this season.

Barnes is a great young player but will only ‘bag ten’ if he plays sufficiently. I wonder whether he will be? Hope so
