9 | Erling Haaland - 2022/23 Performances

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Quite sure the main reason we signed Haaland was to make the difference in the Champs league but his output in the Premier league has been ridiculous , if we fail to win the title but win Big Ears then his signing will be considered a huge success , if he scores 50 goals and we win nothing it will be a great personal achievement , and that's all.
It will also mean he will be the first £200m player unless there is a release clause less than this amount

Still can’t believe we have him. A proper superstar. Phenom. Animal. Blue.

He's been sussed out now. Be lucky if he scores anither 10 goals from now until the end of the season. We just simply are not playing to his strengths.

Sussed out? Lol.

He's scored 4 goals since you wrote that, only another 6 to go. I wouldn't be surprised if he scores another 6 by this time next month. Not bad to say we're not playing to his strengths: )

Good point, but I still feel it’s a different type of goal.

It’s probably just me, just don’t feel he has returned after WC the same as he was before (bar last couple of games when he seemed to have an injury).

There was a time when it just seemed ball went into the box he was there.

I am aware his record is unbelievable, just don’t think it’s gelling yet and in someways if I am right it’s pretty scary if they do get it to.

Five weeks and five days he went without playing a proper game from Brentford in the Prem to Liverpool in the EFL Cup and it ruined the rhythm he was in and that the team had with him.

I thought he and Foden were building a bit of understanding n’all but the World Cup has killed Foden’s form.

Haaland didn’t even have to do much to score that hattrick today. Imagine if when he actually finds rhythm again and gets some decent consistent regular service from his teammates. He could easily beat Kun’s five goals in a game.

Since this post: 8 days, 2 games, 4 goals

6 to go...

 

[kun]

Do you think Pep would allow that? It seems like he subs him off once he has two or three goals, and the game's decided. Just like he did with Aguero.

if it's the first half he wouldn't sub him off

 

[Gray]

Just wait until he finds his feet in the PL, it is all a new experience to him at the momment.

25 GOALS in 19 games.

25 goals would win the golden boot in 16 out of 30 Premier League seasons.

It's January.

It's January and we lost a month of the season to the world cup too! Last season our 20th fixture was the end of December.

Aguero had 10 seasons at City and only scored more than what Haaland currently has… once! Loads of fun ways to frame how ridiculous his goal tally is, but I like comparisons to what Aguero managed, as we remember how incredible he was. Well Aguero’s best tally was 26, Haaland is only 1 goal off Aguero’s peak. And he’s only had a half season.

In 1998, Michael Owen won the PL golden boot scoring at a rate of 0.5 goals per game.
In 1995, Alan Shearer scored the record for most goals in a PL season, at a rate of 0.81 goals per game.

Add them together and you get 1.31 goals per game. Haaland is currently scoring at a rate 1.32 goals per game.

Does anyone know how many headers Haaland has scored now ? Iv got a bet on him scoring 10+ headed goals this season.

Someone said five. Not sure how accurate.

 

[bluebc]

He's on 3 yellows, and we've passed the mark for missing a game for 5 yellows. He'll need another 7 to get a ban

So why was casimero suspended for rags yesterday , iirc end of December was the cut off , has that been moved due to the World Cup ?

What odds did you get on 10+. I meant to do 6 or more headed goals in the league and that was big odds but ever sorted an account out with skybet

He was not sussed out. Our attack is. If we can barely put ball on his feet than it's not his fault. Few people would love Jesus over Haaland but i personally would take Haaland over Jesus 11 out of 10 times

If you get 5 yellow cards before you've completed 19 games then you get supsended. Casimero got his 5th yellow in the 19th game of the season, hence the ban. We've now played 20 so this doesn't apply

After that, the cut off moves to players who accumulate 10 yellow cards in Premier League matches up to and including their team's 32nd fixture will serve a two-match ban in the competition.

Haaland before World Cup:

- He can't stop scoring goals left and right.
- He's the best striker in EPL right now.
- He can take this Man City team to the next level.
- A well rested Haaland with no WC games gonna make him even more dangerous, EPL is not ready for him.

Haaland in January 2023 after going scoreless in few games:

- Haaland hurting Man City
- Haaland hindering Man City progressive play
- Man City don't know how utilize Haaland

How quick the narratives changed

 

[Tricky_Trev]

The narrative that we are worse with Haaland completely ignores the lack of hunger that has plagued the squad. Without Haaland, we wouldn’t magically have that hunger back, we’d be winning the battle for 6th. That’s the Haaland effect.

Saw someone online comparing the situation to Ibrahimovic at Barca.

Lol.
