Which is the hardest league to score goals?

C'mon that's utter ****in nonsense. It's an excuse.

Remember the way he roasted John Terry and Desailly in those CL semi finals 3 years ago? He couldn't do that against the likes of Middlesborugh and Charlton? Do me a favour. We didn't have the right players around him to get him the service on which he thrives. Monaco back then, and Valencia now, do. Quality width and creative players.

if it was an excuse why didnt he say it was lack of quality width and creative players? I do see yr point i think he would thrive at man u and spurs to a certain extent and would do better now JP is around. Ahh well I am gutted as morientes is class

[wiw]

I'd say the Premiership simply because you have less time on the ball..sounds simple I know but i think that's the main thing that Morientes struggled with.

I'd say Serie A is the most difficult league to score in.

Italian teams are all well drilled and they don't lose their shape too often.

The Premiership is so fast that there are loads of mistakes in defence, I think it's not one of the most difficult.

Which is the hardest league to score goals?

[simey85]

i think the serie a is the hardest very rarely do english strikers go to italy these days. over there defending is an art! robbie keane is the last big name striker to make the move i think? very rarely you see italian clubs being linked with english strikers!

I thought Serie A was hardest but a quick look at how many goals the top scorers have got in each league over the last few years suggests they're much the same.

Pichichi
2002-2003 29 Roy Makaay (Deportivo la Coruña)
2003-2004 24 Ronaldo (Real Madrid)
2004-2005 25 Diego Forlan (Villareal)
2005-2006 26 Samuel Eto'o (Barcelona)

Capocannoniero
2002-2003 24 Andriy Shevchenko (Milan) (34 matches/18 teams in Serie A))
2003-2004 24 Cristiano Lucarelli (Livorno), Alberto Gilardino (Parma)
2004-2005 31 Luca Toni (Fiorentina)
2005-2006 22 Francesco Totti (Roma)

Golden Boot
2002-2003 25 Ruud van Nistelrooy (Manchester Utd)
2003-2004 30 Thierry Henry (Arsenal)
2004-2005 25 Thierry Henry (Arsenal)
2005-2006 27 Thierry Henry (Arsenal)

Of course it doesn't say everything about how easy it is to score but it's maybe an indication. Perhaps there's a difference in how many goals are scored in each league but I can't be bothered looking that up.

Jay Boothroyd went there and did well though. As did Tore Andre Flo.
