9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

[BringBackSwales]

The fact that there are people in here moaning about Erling’s apparent deficiencies, on the back of his unprecedented goals record for us says a lot more about some of the clowns who support us than it does about Erling

I'm a fan of his despite what some on here say, but some of the excuses made for him in comparison to others are fucking comical. He's one of the highest-paid players in the world. He needs to be better. In his defense, he's got a strong track record, but if he were a striker out of our academy, there's ZERO chance that people would be as kind as they're being. That's undeniable.

You’re a waste of bandwidth.

Not still trying to bang the drum of academy versus not , it is a nonsense arguement

Apart from that run last autumn where he scored three consecutive hat-tricks in three home games, he's always been a 4 goals every 5 games kinda striker for us. As long as he sticks to that (insane) track record he'll race towards Sergio's record.

He's amazing our Erl, he done wonders for us last season, he'll be back to his Viking best in no time.

He’s a goal a game in his last 2 games, lest we forget

The mindset to try and pick out faults is alien to me. I mean, actually go out of your way to find negatives on a player like Haaland tells a story.
I think some people genuinely believe they are some sort of footballing guru who sees things others can’t.
Just to make it clear, we all see it but most don’t give a fuck and are happy to have the best CF in world football breaking records for us on an almost weekly basis.
Football is fun when you want it to be..

He is a beast, just to have him on the pitch is a big plus.

I’m conflicted on my view of Haaland.
Can‘t deny that he is a brilliant finisher and we did the treble with him last season.
Having said that I find the way the game often goes on around him frustrating to watch.
Last night was a classic example. First touch of the ball was 28 minutes into the game.
Total number of touches 18 out of 830 as a team with 80% possession.
I think we perform better as a team with Alvarez. We did win all eleven games without EH playing some of the best football all season.
Everton game was a hard watch but Haaland scores twice, deemed to be the hero.

Anybody conflicted about Haaland is doing this football lark wrong.
Jeez we’ve sone strange ones amongst us.
