Last season the Reds managed 52 goals in the league. In the 38 game season that roughly works out at about 1.37 goals per game, not too bad when you consider that only one team below their sixth placed finish scored more than them.

Now, here is where it gets interesting, Lacazette didn't manage to play every game for Lyon last year due to injury, but, still managed to make 33 appearances. In those 33 appearances he scored 27 goals, meaning that his goals-per-game ratio was approximately 1.23, superior to that of Liverpool's.
