2 good finishes, shame he couldn’t claim another hat trick

When the game was on the line he delivered big time. Yes, he could have had more but he won us the game (again).

 

[Damien10]

Rest him mid week.

IF City play 60+ games this season and IF he avoids injuries, Haaland could beat Dean's record of 63 goals in all competitions. Hard but not impossible.

Covering our problems big time

Crazy how this is his worst start to a season for us but also the best ever start in premier league history if you exclude his other seasons. That is the level we are talking about here. A complete phenom.

He is just a great player. We are lucky to have him. His defensive work was quality too. How less than 50% voted for him as MOTM I don’t know. He was the clear best player for us.

 

[Belgian Flash]

Can't ask more of him than what he did today. Historically great striker, probably top 5 in terms of installing fear in defenders in history. Physically a generational specimen. Brilliant finishing today.

 

[come-on-barney]

He's papering over so many cracks.. we'd be well and truly fooked without him!

If anyone was ever worthy of a 10 year contract.. it's him!

Or NOR :)

He's got 11 goals in 8 league games now, it's his second best start since his debut season where he had 14 in 8.

Sky knocking one out over harry kane having 22 goals for club and country this year, big Erl has 23

 

[Gaz76]

Yeah but think how much better we would be if we dropped him and went false 9...

Haha imagine the meltdown in the pre match thread

 

[Worsleyweb]

Anyone know where he stands in terms of all time premier league scorers? Could he overtake shearer in time?

 

[Gorbachev]

Rest him mid week.

Can't afford to unfortunately.

That draw in Monaco means Villarreal is must win.

Not a chance will Pep want another knockout game scenario again.

He’s 4 away from 100 and 164 away from Shearers record. If he stays for the entirety of his contract I’d expect him to hit 300+ easily

 

[decmancity]

Should have had 5!

 

[OB1]

He’s just ridiculous.

 

[City_Sean]

Really love how its gone from "Do City get Haaland involved enough?" To "Are City too reliant on Haaland?"

 

[jimharri]

11 straight games for club and country, in all competitions that he's scored in now. I think I heard that it's a record for him while he's been with us. Just wondering if he's managed such a run earlier in his career?
