2014: Top 5 scoring teams in Europe during the last 12 months
As they say attack is the best form of defense, there are several teams around Europe which have epitomized this art to perfection in the last 12 months. While most of those teams are sitting at top of their League at the end of this year, there is a minority of them which have lost their cutting edge in the last 6 months of this year.Here are 5 teams that have scored the most number of goals in their respective leagues during the past 6 months:
#5 Liverpool (83)
When they say that football is a game of two halves, no other team more than Liverpool will justify for the truthfulness of this statement. Enjoying a streamlined season at the start of this year where they were blowing teams away for fun, Liverpool managed more goals than Real Madrid in the opening 6 months of this season.
They managed a total of 55 goals in the last 19 matches of Barclays Premier League last season.
Being one of the teams that scored a century of goals last season, Liverpool were one of the five sides that achieved a 100 goal mark last season. However, coming back to this season, they’re the only side from that centurion tag to be out of the top 4 this season.
Fast forward 6 months like the journey of a Titanic which was brilliant at the start and gloomy at the end, everything is gloomy for the Reds this season.
The goals that became a part of their Match day hospitality last season have been replaced by some stagnant strike-force this season. And while the stories of Sturridge and Suarez seems a distant memory, the current strike force of Liverpool has piled more misery on their own fans than the opposition.
While they scored 55 goals in the first half of this season, the Reds have managed just 26 goals in 19 matches so far which indicates how backward they have gone this season. However, courtesy to their 4-1 thumping of Swansea, Liverpool have scored 83 goals this season.
