9 | Erling Haaland - 2022/23 Performances

Why the hell did he go down when he was through? Their defender barely touched his shoulder and he was through for a shot.

Missed two sitters n’all.

That really disappointed me. prefer to get the guy sent off than score a goal. Wrong attitude, i thought he was a score at all costs player.

For someone so big and powerful, he had no reason to drop like he did. Should have just powered on and taken the shot.

his confidence has taken a toll. I haven't seen him like this. He looks often sad and lethargic. He's never in his career experienced being debated being good enough for the team or not, I believe the media debate has made him overthink his game. He used to play for fun, now it's an emotional battle he needs to grow out of. It doesn't help not receiving passes either. I suspect he feels fatigue. Come on big lad, pick yourself up and start being a viking again!

He looks fine, he was literally MOTM against Arsenal.

Lazy bastard who won't close down the defence / keeper letting them start attacks, Sergio was dropped for less

Think it’s past your bedtime

I don’t blame him at all for going down. The ref set the standard by giving defenders free kicks when Haaland touched them in a similar manner.

However, his big mistake was thinking that City get reffed the same as other sides.

He was literally one of the best players against arsenal only last week. The level of exaggeration on this forum bewildering

Fuck him off and his 26 goals in 23 games because he won't chase lost causes. Bellamy was better

 

[jamielowndes]

Unbelievably stupid attempt at a dive. They weren't even close to each other. Disappointed to see that.

As for skying it over, he isn't the first and he won't be the last. You move on.

Too much being written about him and his future with us and it’s having an affect on him and it’s clear to see this is not the same player before the World Cup. Feel sorry for him because the press and virtually every pundit will not be happy untill he leaves us and it could well be in the sumner as he is definitely not happy atm.

Feels like a bit of a cop-out to me...

He was just saying how happy he was at City after the Arsenal game.

He had a shit game. It happens... but his lack of effort in pressing today was definitely disappointing.

Yesterday he looked like the fat kid whose never played put in the school team at the last minute.

Didn’t seem to do Agüero or David Silva any harm.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

A couple of strange decisions by Haaland in the last games , allowing Mahrez to take a penalty versus Villa and going down for the penalty when clean through against Forest , before the World Cup when he was flying he takes both those chances.
Hard to criticise a guy with over 30 goals at this stage of the season , but maybe a slight blip in form/confidence , he will probably score three at Bournemouth :)

 

[Damanino]

he is back vs a Bundesliga team next week, we really need him to make the difference for us in CL. many said we need a top striker to help in the CL.
he had a great scoring record in CL despite not playing for very strong team until this summer.

 

[Bluesince1979]

I think hes actually a pretty poor footballer. Hes an amazing goalscorer though.

But take those goals away like currently and hes a waste of a shirt

It was a pathetic dive being honest

Absolutely no chance he leaves in the summer and I mean no chance.

Wed night he was saying how he likes it here and beating Arsenal was one of the best moments in his life.

He's not going to score hatricks every game but could have been on the score sheet had Foden not fucked about thinking shoot or pass.

He could also have been on the scoresheet if he converted his piss easy chance
