Didn’t Mifsud have about 10 by October and then didn’t score again all season?

I think Armstrong was on around 18 or 19 by Christmas and only just managed 20 for the season

13 then 7 in new year but results were genuinely crap. Letting Kent go was a big mistake.

Kent was massively overrated. Had so much skill but the end product was horrendous.

The team was averaging 3 goals a game and he got one goal and one assist the whole time he was here.

Was standard Liverpool practice to recall loans in January under Rogers. I doubt we could have possibly done anything to stop it.

I think teams were doubling on him which is in part why Murphy's form also fell away after he left.

Who was that winger we had the season or two after Kent on loan that couldn’t hit a barn door.

Can’t remember if it was Maguire-Drew, Josh Barrett or someone else. Was awful

Edit… think it was Luke Thomas

Nothing obscure about the Battle of Ellandun. Mercia was never the same again after that, still rankles with me tbh.

Klopp recalled Kent, he had just got the job, recalled him to take a look at him, played him in a cup game against lower league opposition and never he played for Liverpool again

Arguably good for our squad. Time will tell whether the breaks make us lose momentum though.

He had 19 in 27 after the Bury game in mid-Feb. Then didn't score for 12 games before finally getting to 20 in the last game of the season.

Basically mirrored our season perfectly.

He was actually not a bad playing apart from his shooting.

He was really good, created a lot for us. That little spell with him and Bright we were pretty good to watch.

I remember him missing sitters left right and centre.

But yeah, his overall play was pretty good but just couldn’t score for love nor money

He didn't miss sitters "left right and centre", he wasn't a great finisher but that wasn't his job he was a good winger in a pretty fun to watch City team.

There's been much worse finishers at City who were actual strikers.
