Craig Bellamy’s 13 goals at Blackburn will help the Reds immensely add more to their 57 goals, the least amongst the top four. The Liverpool midfield provided the bulk of the goals. Strikers, Peter Crouch chipped in with 7 and Robbie Fowler’s return to Anfield netted them 5. Compare this to Thierry Henry’s league leading 27 goals. Chelsea and Man U were tops with 72 goals and Arsenal followed with 68. When this season is over I would be surprised with the Reds scoring anything less than 70 goals. Bellamy, Crouch, and Fowler should get that done. That should be enough for them to claim the title.
