Goalkeepers
View attachment 206339
Our goalkeepers performed to a reasonable standard. Valdés performed well in the first half of the season
while Butland kept a clean sheet in 43% of his appearances. Butland also conceded an average of 0.96
goals per game while Valdés conceded 1.07 goals per game. Small differences but these margins can win
you the league.
Defenders

Skrtel and Gomez formed quite an impressive partnership this season, making 31 and 34 appearances respectively. Clyne and Moreno have been simply marvelous operating as wing backs as they've posed
a constant threat down each flank. They stayed relatively fit and played regularly this season meaning
Bertrand was handed only a few appearances.
Overall, I'm quite happy with the defensive performances from the side. We kept 14 clean sheets and
conceded only 34 goals; only Chelsea conceded less with 32.
Midfield

This is where the majority of our rotation occurred. Brozovic, Thiago and Wilshere put in very good
performances this season while Mascherano gave us that little bit of ugly muscle we needed to allow
the our creative players the room to work their magic. I was disappointed with Firminho this season as
his performances dipped near the end of the season and he lost his wide right role to Origi. Coutinho
and Correa were nothing short of magical this season; scoring 28 goals and creating 20 between them.
They pulled the string as season and proved themselves important Key players.
Strikers

Daniel Sturridge once again finished as the clubs top scorer with Origi finding a vein of form late
in the season to really help our cause. Jovetic disappointed me and never really done enough to
warrant starting more games. Though Mendy is the talking point of the season right now. There
hasn't been this much excitement about a player since Michael Owen.
I'm quite happy with our Strikers performance this season. The team scored 76 league goals this
season; 2.0 per game average, so I'm happy with our forwards.
