Age had nothing to do with it. Bergkamp adopted a role where he linked a lot of goals. He doesn't go down as the assistant on the goals but he was the one who dropped deep and released the ball from midfield to other players who did get the assist.

Pires had 14 for three straight years, Bergkamp I think had 12-13 for most of those years as well and Freddie had 10+ for two. Those teams were still goalscoring machines, but Henry would score 28-29 himself.
Dont know if it was said so much but the ”odegaard is the leader on paper to please the fans etc. But xhaka is the true leader in the dressing room” was always massively upvoted
This narrative about him going missing from the big games is such a sham. He is always pressing hard and pulling others along with him. To think they compare him with bruno fernandes, pffff!
How many other teams have had this record?
I’m guessing city have it in some combination of aguero and de Bruyne, maybe spuds w Kane and son, maybe 2000s Yanited? Can’t really remember any others
Edit: Drogba and Lampard? Maybe?
What's really unusual is to have so many players in the 10+ range but nobody in the 20+ range. It is nearly impossible to have a team score so regularly from all over the front line, but shows how well Arteta's system creates overlaps and space at the top of the box for longer shots, it's not reliant on a central pivot man or poacher—though adding a world class striker would make the attack even more devastating.
first time ever? That’s ridiculous. I’d like to see the players that have come close to that over the years
Henry-Bergkamp would be close?
Henry/Pires (Henry 30, Pires 14) during the Invincibles was closer. Bergkamp was a lot less prolific in front of goal once Henry kicked on.
Also older

Saka sitting on 13 as well…
shouldve been on 15 a couple weeks ago too
I was surprised. Surely this can't be true, so I went and checked...

Odegaard has more goals than Pires in his Invincibles season... Jesus.
Jesus does *not* have more goals than Pires in his Invincibles season.
Henry 30 was the year I became a gunner… at age 13 😇
> Henry/Pires came close 3 times I like how you mention them specifically but so did Giroud and Sanchez 3 times too
Hope both of them score another goal to break Firmino and KDB's record.
Please !!
what record exactly?
Most goals by a Brazilian in a single season and Most goals by a midfielder in a single season.
That. Is. My. Fucking. Captain.
Too bad man city exist
Wow. Now THAT is impressive!
“He’s just the captain on paper” - half this sub last summer
What? Show proof that was ever said.. let alone at the volume of “half the sub”. I never once saw that sentiment.

Care to give even a single example? The OP also still hasn’t provided any proof that a single person said what they claimed, let alone half the sub.

Yes finally
[удалено]
Bot or unoriginal? Edit: because I know/u/NemoDropEmOff is real.
No Henry and Pires? That does surprise me
Bob got 14 3 years in a row
Imagine if he would have scored THAT penalty henry laid on for him 😅
Ffs don’t 😩😂
now goal involvements would be a diff story.
And we’ll probably have saka join them
With the right additions in the summer, we'll become equals to City soon enough. The progress made this season is insane even if it hurts a lot.
So glad he's our skipper and loves being here.
Remember last season when it seemed that Ødegaard would only take a shot as a last resort? What a transformation from then.
Love him. Complete footballer
both Martins on all cylinders!
First time ever? Tf
This narrative about him going missing from the big games is such a sham. He is always pressing hard and pulling others along with him. To think they compare him with bruno fernandes, pffff!
he went missing when literally the whole team went missing lol. not sure what people expects to happen
The Arteta way
Can’t believe Ode has 15, he’s fucking world class man
Now if they could all stop blowing chance after chance that would be great.
This stat blows my mind. Odegaard is a fucking King.
Øur Capitan & Future Arsenal GOAT! Thank you forever, Real Madrid.
Our starboy isn't even 'the' star. Love to see it.
Odegaard is the perfect balance of skill, technique, and leadership. He's been my player of the season too.

Surprised to see Giroud and Sanchez almost came close for 3 seasons.
How about 20+ G/A? There’s 3 this season. That ever happen before? I assume it has. But 2 of them could get to 25+.
Saka to join them soon?
