That’s a good achievement from possibly the best club side in the world, but that was achieved by ten players probably valued of £100k plus each, not by a bunch of wannabes snapped up on the cheap.

I’m not sure it will count as the record as it looks like the defender gets a touch on the ball when DaSilva has his heavy touch.

Going back over 40 years this game was on match of the day, Leeds, that’s their super team had over 70 passes to score a goal I think it was v Southampton and one of their passes took a deflection to a Leeds player but I’m sure it counted as a record.

I'd have to go back and check but I don't think there was a touch

I was trying to find out what the most was (including pre-PL), it was only 39 for that Leeds one though.

The 39 passes that still ring down the years

IT is held up as one of the cruellest acts in footballing history but Peter Lorimer has revealed that Leeds United’s humiliation of Southampton was a misguided attempt to be kind.

they won the game 7-0 but actually the keep ball session occurred at the end of the game and resulted in the final whistle not a goal.
These days it would be seen as shithousery and a lack of respect.

This list of the "Top 10 goals based on the number of passes leading up to it" has Liverpool with 51 v Bournemouth in 2014. No idea how in depth it is though.

Top 10 goals based on number of passes leading up to it

It is not the goals that make football a beautiful game, but the build-up play leading to them.

I hate Leeds, horrible club, horrible fans but that Leeds team with Bremner, Giles, Eddie Gray were by far the best club side I’ve seen and I include three great Liverpool teams in the 70s & 80s and the Man United teams of 90s.

This was just cruel.
The way Godden didn't even bother to celebrate made it even more cruel.

The whole game Coventry were passing the ball around almost unchallenged. Oxford were truly abysmal and put together one of the poorest displays I've ever seen and deserved to lose by 8 plus goals in my view.
Still very impressive not to make hardly any passing mistakes in 73 passes.

Our whole game was superb, all over in 17 minutes. Let’s not underestimate it, pass and move is a basic art and we had Oxford running round In circles.

Excellent - what an impressive stat.

It is truly representative of how we dominated that game, and overall the quality and confidence we have on the ball.

Godden’s lack of celebration could also be down to being bored rigid like the rest of us!

Towards the end of the first half I said to my mate, this must be what it's like to support Man City.

Boring as fuck!
