9 | Erling Haaland - 2024/25

[DaveyG]

Aren't we meant to be a better side without him?

 

[alexmcity]

Can you believe some of the shit that was said about him last season, lol. He's playing at a level I've never seen anyone hit before. He's on to hit 100 goals vs Arsenal - sweet.

Inter.

This made me laugh:



Had forgotten we had moments like this with Kun too. :(

 

[skillman]

He seems to be delaying his finishing too, something new on last season, which sits keeper’s down for him to have a bigger target/more of the net to slot it into. He did it against Chelsea too.

Saw this in action again today for the second goal. He took a very, very slight touch right before pulling the trigger and Flekken fell for it (as have Sanchez and the West Ham keeper this season) so he had pretty much an empty net to dink it into.

It’s scary that he’s adding extra gimmicks to his already ridiculously good finishing technique and composure.

 

[Pam]

I'm not sure he can make 100 in one game

Oh ye of little faith.

 

[WestGorton]

Just gets better. Unreal and a true Superstar.

 

[super_city_si]

At the very top of his game. Making it look easy.

 

[Withnail]

He looks fresh, fit and full of confidence and his finishing is fantastic. Long may it continue.

 

[Legal Alien]

His finishing again was top drawer and his overall game was really good again.

Get him signed up City!

Hilarious look on Pep's face.

Hilarious look on Pep's face.

I'm almost certain that reaction was after Ederson went out of goal and started playing one twos in midfield in a game against Wolves because I've seen it before, they edited it here.

 

[Nucky10]

The best striker in the world currently by miles..

 

[Blue and true]

20 years ago I was hoping that the slop of Corradi/Samaras/Vassell/etc. would chip in 10 goals a season between them. This bastards got 9 in 4. Crazy.

His numbers are just terrifying. He's reinventing what it means to be a gold standard CF.

I'm desperate for him to spend his whole career with us, because if he does, I can see him having Shearer's record licked by the time he's 30.

 

[Blue and true]

The best striker in the world currently by miles..

By a fucking galaxy.

 

[Axel Freed]

Already 6 goals clear atop the PL top scorers table.

Means fuck all, where would he be in a table of most touches by a striker, near the bottom I reckon.

Must do better.

 

[footballmanager]

extra clinical this season so far, we have been playing a bit more to his strengths i feel

 

[Blue and true]

He's the best striker I've ever had the pleasure to support. It's a wonderful feeling. No slight on aguero btw.

We all love Serg, but Haaland is on another level. There's no shame in saying it.

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

Reckon he’s in with a shout for the golden boot

 

[Vincennes Blue]

I'm much more impressed by his progress in the game than his number of goals, because in important matches like a Champions League quarter-final or semi-final, a Cup final or a match against Liverpool or Arsenal, it's this progress that will make the difference.

He's made so much progress in the air, in his movements and appeals in set attacks, in his bodywork, his passing and his play without the ball. He'll never be the greatest player in history, because nobody will ever be better than Messi, but he has all the weapons needed to become the best striker in history. Time will tell
