9 | Erling Haaland - 2024/25

[southamptonblue]

Feels like there’s unrest in the changing room……

Then that is for the manager to sort.....starting with giving Haaland & Foden a size 12 up the arse. It's like the two of them have hypnotised, and been told they don't know how to play football anymore?

He plays like he’s not really trying,it’s a huge contrast to his first season with us. Near post runs,any back post cross he would be on the end of. It’s like he’s lost a bit of desire in his game.

 

[Kun Blue]

Why’s the **** tried to turn the best number 9 in world football into Niall Quinn? Haaland’s game is all about runs in behind, yet for months, he’s suddenly turned into a striker that lurks at the far post?

 

[Charlesfarsbar]

Tbf if he didn't fancy it I rather he did give it up. Seen thousands of penalties over the years taken by players who clearly don't want it and it never goes well.

The problem is since Yaya we have a team full of those types of players

Whilst the instructions to our wingers is it to cross near post.

Exactly.

It’s like Pep’s just using him as a distraction to make space for others rather than using him to his strengths.

An expensive distraction that is

Fuck him off.

Shadow of the player from the last 2 seasons.

Doesn't even look arsed anymore

 

[sutty66]

Bottler…..

 

[Kippax.]

Leaders lead.

He’s surprised me today. Very disappointed

Yep,he looks totally disinterested

It's not our style of play we had the same style of play when he excelled. It's him. He's gotten worse. His positioning got worse. His shooting got worse. His heading got worse. His technical ability got worse. His physicality got worse. He loses aerial duals and physical battles that he didn't use to. He's not making runs that he used to make. He is literally just worse.

Seems complacency is creeping into the squad and too friendly between Pep & players

No hunger for the game

Absolutely shite again but I’d blame Pep than him this system doesn’t suit him he could be the best player in the world at a PSG type team. Apart from the money he’s on he’s a foolish man for agreeing that 9 year deal career wise

 

[OrigamiNinja]

I honestly don’t know what some of you are expecting from him. He is the best goalscorer in the world and we give him nothing to work with. His “supply” is coming from two wildly inconsistent wide men and a geriatric midfield. I’m as angry as anyone that he didn’t take the pen but I think some have lost all sense of reality. 50 goals a season and scoring every game is not normal, it hasn’t been normal for over 100 years of football. He has 30 goals in a “bad season”. When we get the right players around him again, he will show what he is all about.

 

[robbieh]

We either change manager, and style of play, or we sell him.

The style of play has been found out and doesn’t work anymore

 

[CΛL]

Can’t create his own chances, massive downgrade on Aguero. We function much better without him.

If we play to his strengths, we make him the only end product in our team, we become predictable.

10 year contract is absolutely fucking insane.

 

[red 2 hats]

Another final another no show, shite today
