9 | Erling Haaland - 2024/25

[SkyBlueFlux]

I think his target will be to get in the PL 100 club by the end of the season. Which would be absolutely crazy after three seasons, but he's now only 33 goals away, and there is 36 games to play - he would be the first player ever to do this, but it would mean having to break the PL goals record again.

There have been about 5,000 Premier League players, 34 have scored over 100 goals. Only three have done it in less than 150 appearances. Shearer (124), Kane (141) and Aguero (147).

Haaland if he keeps up this pace is on track to do it in 102 games. He has a bit of a way to go though.

Imagine being about 20% better at your job than any person that ever came before you has ever achieved. Madness.

 

[Lowtower]

Awesome today

Fucking awesome

 

[WickyWain]

But he only scores tap-ins.

 

[lonestay]

7 PL hat-tricks in 68 games. For reference scum have 7 hat-tricks in the last 460 games.

Technically, he didn't score his first hat-trick until his fourth game, so if we're measuring like-for-like it is 7 hat-tricks in his last 65 games.

 

[doobyedoobye]

Every aspect of his play today was excellent

 

[Gigant]

Ruthless today as he was against Chelsea, when he takes his first chance the opposition is fucked, last season he wasn't at his best and he still bagged 27 league goals, can hit 40 easily if he takes more of his chances like he's done so far this season.

it is identical to what I am hoping for
but this is also an achievement that is difficult to repeat, Big Erl scored 17 goals in the first 13 games in his first season.

He needs to score even harder if he wants to reach 40

He's the man to do it.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Looks fit. And that's scary for everybody else. If he remains relatively injury free and doesn't miss huge chunks of the season. He'll break all the records he's already set this season and have his most prolific season yet. We're better suited to provide for him and both he, pep and the other players know each other better, he's only going to get better.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

He looks fit.
And hungry.

I've said loads of times on here.
TTHE BEST striker ever

As long as he stays fit, then I think he'll do it.

Before we signed him, this is what I said in 2021, about his potential goalscoring exploits for us...


I firmly believe if he stays right here long enough, then he will become the top scorer in the history of the English top flight.

He should make (alongside winning many trophies here) breaking Jimmy Greaves record his career goal, this would earn him a greater legacy than doing anything else, as he's already won everything a club player dreams of.

If he doesn't already know this people at City should be drilling it into his head, there's no need to join Real or Barca or anyone else either, he can achieve all his footballing dreams and break nearly all records here.

 

[Turtlepath]

Must be weird and frustrating for him to continually prove himself as the greatest goalscorer the prem league has ever seen by a ridiculous distance yet still be questioned by random people on the internet on whether he's +EV to the club he loves and plays for.

 

[skillman]

If he stays here forever, he’ll break every single scoring record this league has. What a guy.

His movement around the edge of the box can be a bit stagnant at times but as soon as it goes out wide or whenever Kev gets it, he’s so sharp.

Lovely to see a long ball to him today as well!

 

[DenizCTID]

Will be a 35+ goals season in the league if he stays fit.

impressing how intelligent he is, as every team marks him and still gets goal after goal

 

[ProofMCFC]

Good chance he could become the first player since Greaves in 1961 to score 40 in a league season.

 

[uwerosler28]

Just love how he is constantly pissing himself laughing on the pitch , like at the free kick today when their player lay on the ground behind the wall and he was just stood over him taking the piss, never seen someone enjoy being on the pitch as much. Its like the game is so easy to him he doesn't even have to try so just has a laugh out there.

 

[waspish]

Bet he wants to get to 100 Man City goals this season

 

[blue wang]

That 3rd one was fire! Proper big strikers goal that.

Looks fresh. It's amazing what an extra 2 weeks of rest does. That goes for anybody In any profession.

 

[Withnail]

Looks fit and hungry, very bad news for the rest of the PL.

 

[Goater=Legend]

That moment when him and Gundo was balling puts a myth to him not being good on the ball.
