Prime Aguero or present Haaland

I suppose you can look at it from a subjective angle - who was more pleasing on the eye but unless the more pleasing can put the ball in the net it's pretty meaningless and 'achieveless'!

No what is meaningless is if you have a striker that scores 32 goals in the league and the team gets 90 goals overall in the season and in a different version a more versatile striker gets 20 goals but the team gets 100 goals and more points. A striker with other skills can add more goals to the team overall.
This is not a hard concept to grasp.

We did very well with no striker at all. We have had periods when we got more points with Haaland out of the team and that is the most important stat of all, points gained.

Points win prizes as someone once said:-)

Ideally we could maybe play slightly different maybe with a 10 who could create more space for haaland and the other attacking midfielders. At the moment its slow boring sideways passes with a big bloke stood next to centrebacks.

Yer get no points if yer get no goals. We had a fair number of lasses who could have scored last night but didn't - no goal, no prize. Thething is that without Erl's goals or Sergio's goals we'd have probably won nowt or very little. Still doesn't answer the question - Sergio or Erl!

Agreed, everyone piling on Haaland as he’s going through a bad patch. What’s the point of it?

There's a significant section of our fanbase (certainly the online fans) that simply can't resist piling on players. Witness the abuse a couple of the current squad get. It's one of our less desirable traits.

I reckon every fanbase has it on the internet mate. And I’ve no problem when it’s actual legitimate criticism but I find the comparing of our two greatest strikers, with one being used to batter the other, absolutely nonsense.

I always said in my modding days, that I have no problem with constructive criticism. It's to be welcomed, in all honesty. Blowing smoke up someone's arse doesn't really achieve anything. Problem is, what is being dished out by a large number of our "fans" is certainly not constructive. Stuff like "******* is a ****", or ***** is a useless wanker, why can't he just fuck off". What does that sort of shite add to any meaningful debate?

Pure abuse is what teenage Rags and Scousers do online. It’s pathetic when it’s grown men and women doing it.
 
Haaland is an unbelivable striker but Prime Aguero was just different shelf. Problem with Aguero was that he was injured far too much.
 
Idolise/idolised both. 55 goals in 55 Champions League games for Erling. Crazy choice - a pointless choice.

I not knocking him but besides QPR where he was absent most of the game

Liverpool when we won 2-1 and Bayern

What other really big games did Sergio sort out for us

That is why these kind of threads are nonsense

It just isn't a good look when it gets bumped when Haaland is going through a rough patch and loads decide to go hard on him.
Of course it's no surprise that Aguero is the vast majority of fans favourite but they don't have to be so cuntish about it.

I almost had to go for a walk to calm down after reading the above post.

I take your point on the nonsense of the thread, but as for the rest ……

To say he was absent for most of the QPR game, when put into context against THE most important moment in our modern history is downright scandalous, not to mention disrespectful

You need to have a rethink

I never saw Aguero give less than 100% in a City shirt

If anything, this thread is unfair on Erling, as he’s not even close to Sergio
