9 | Erling Haaland - 2025/26

Is the juice worth the squeeze? when he’s on he’s the goat striker but when he’s off fuck me we are playing with 10 men. What if this run of form becomes consistent throughout his career? A month or 2 like this could see us fall out of competitions he’s that bad.
 
Once again, the tactics mean we’re using a Ferrari like it’s a Ford.

He’s rapid on the counter, has fantastic link up play and can finish his chances.

Yet he’s asked to meander around for 90 minutes week after week all with the pretence that he might get a chance eventually.

I’m his biggest critic. For me; he’s lazy and a shithouse, he should be using his strength more, his physique to bully defenders and for a player so good (and well paid) he should be doing more than what he is.

But the way he’s used within the system is horrendous and I personally can’t wait to see how another manager uses him if Pep does what I think he’s going to do, and that’s be a stubborn fucker and not change his ways.
 
Again think he's getting more stick than he deserves. Confidence in front of goal is shot but he can't create for himself and he's not the only player out of form
 
Absolutely embarrasing performance. Something has gone on. 100%. This is Torres to Chelsea level of drop off.
 
head's hot at the moment so i don't want to act like i don't appreciate his contribution to the team in the last 3.5 years. but fuck me his lows are LOW. i mean, really low.

All strikers go through bad spells in front of goal but when it’s not working you work for the side, show desire, show commitment. He offers absolutely nothing. He had 1 touch in the first 20 minutes of the second half.
 
If Haaland isnt scoring goals , he can look like a luxury player , he takes more abuse and fouling from defenders than any other striker in the league and he does take two defenders with him everywhere he goes , but that is a Haaland fully fit and firing , the last few games he has been a shadow of the player we know, he might be looking at La Liga and looking for an easier life , sincerely hope not , because he gets no protection from refs in this country
 
The most potent striker in the world is asked to play like a tree. We have an actual world class player in our hands, use him better.
 
He is starting to remind me of mbappe and these modern type players. Big ego

Awful body language and doesn’t seem fully invested.

Maybe lay off the YouTube stuff until you start scoring again. Not that YouTube would explain his poor form but it’s poor optics.
 
Everything is true. He's not helping himself and at times it's like playing with ten men. But he's been a brilliant goalscorer for us and he's going through a bad patch. Let's cut him some slack. We would be much better as a counter-attacking side and he would flourish. We were doing it more earlier in the season and it was working. We were more exciting to watch. Reverting to this crap, slow passing style with a high line and no midfield is killing us and it's killing Haaland. He needs taking out of the team and it would do him some good.
