In no game have we conceded 4 or more goals.
And that's why you don't write valedictory posts until after the season. :razz:
In general, of course, I agree with your analysis. Was just browsing the season's stats and spotted something pretty striking - our second highest league scorer this season was Crouch with 8. Not impressive stuff, and joint third were Keane and Krancjar with 6 each. If that suggests over-reliance on Defoe, consider that he too has just 4 league goals in 2010 - the same number as Crouch, while Pav got 5.
You may feel like goals were shared out across the team, but actually only 3 other players hit as many as 3 league goals - Bale and Modric hitting that unremarkable milestone in today's dead rubber. To gloss it, Bale is our 6th highest league scorer despite not having scored a goal until 14 April.
The defence is everything to us. It is simply sensational. But we have it in us to score so many more goals.
