For me Matt le Tissier takes the cake, managing to score 25 goals from midfield in the 1993/94 season for a Southampton team that finished 18th. Other strong contenders:

  • Luis Suarez 13/14, honestly maybe the best individual season a player’s ever had in the league. 31 goals and 11 assists in 33 games in a Liverpool team that was largely Europa League level aside from Gerrard and Sturridge.
  • Kevin Phillips 99/00, scoring 30 goals and winning the European Golden Shoe for newly promoted Sunderland.

Who’ve you got?

      Would have said SWP personally. Barton was the best player in a terrible side for us though couple years later yeah.

    Le Tissier was an absolute brilliant player, he had a cannon of a shot on him, used to score brilliant goals from absolutely nothing. I remember one he banged in so hard it bounced up and down off the cross bar at least 3 times…

    Kalvin Phillips carried the city team by letting KDB play…this sacrifice eventually led to a treble. If this ain’t the greatest sacrifice in the history of sports then I don’t know what is…💪

    aubameyang was our saviour in 19/20 and 18/19 but to a lesser extent as we felt less reliant on him. People forget just how much he carried us when we were appalling defensively

    Carlos Tevez at West Ham single handedly kept the Hammers up in that season where he scored huge goals including the winner at Old Trafford to give them a 0-1 away win

      He carried City on his back so often in the first year or 2 - one of the very best I’ve seen

    Bale in 2012/13 for Spurs - without him they’d have been in a relegation battle.
