Lowest number of goals scored at home in the 2006/07 season

With goal scorers like Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus in the team being ably assisted by the likes David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne, most of the current Manchester City fans would have no idea what it felt like having to cheer the likes of Georgios Samaras and Darius Vassell.

During the 2006/07 season, die-hard City fans holding a season ticket at the stadium had to go through this trauma. Matches at the Etihad became an epitome of boredom that season as the home team scored just 10 goals (a league low) in 19 league matches, with none coming after New year’s day.

Joey Barton finished as the club’s top scorer with 6 goals as the team surprisingly finished in 14th place. The then manager Stuart Pearce was shown the door at the end of the season as City were taken over by Thai businessman Thaksin Shinawatra.
