He was born in Brazil

All the lad needs is a good pre season. Didn't have 1 with us last summer, hasn't had 1 this summer, next summer is going to be tricky with the Club World Cup and 2026 he might get called up for Portugal but get it in the diaries the 2027/28 season will be his.

To be fair I don't think many are saying we are better. At best given the transfers so far we are about the same

Yeah he's miles off it. Second half of the season he barely played for Ajax and was just benched.

After an average season for a poor Ajax I doubt it

Again I don't understand your point. Against a good defence which a top team generally has he struggles. Yes scoring a hypothetical goal against West Ham would be great but that doesn't hide the fact they are a mid table team. I am not denying he scores goals. He scored a good penalty last...

Lets have it right I am not saying he doesn't score goals. He scored his only goal against Villa when I think Gerrard was in charge, Chelsea are a midtable team and I completely acknowledge his hat trick against United as his last good performance against a 'top team'. Since then United have...

Right so 5 goals in 19 games 4 of which were scored when the game was already won is now turning up?

Since he scored the hat trick against United 18 months ago here are the games against the top 5 sides in the league and his goal record. (22-23 was Arsenal, United, Newcastle, Liverpool) (23-24 is Arsenal, Liverpool, Villa, Spurs) Liverpool a - 0 United a - 0 Arsenal a - Scored the 3rd...

All strikers have dips in form. Haaland does not turn up against the top teams. He just doesn't. Scoring has not been an issue under Pep. Haaland was brought in to get us over the line in the big games against the top teams. For almost 18 months others have had to bail him out.

If Aguero did a Haaland we wouldn't have got to that FA Cup final anyway. Like comparing apples and oranges

Both second seasons are below par but Aguero turned up in the big game. Has Haaland turned up against a top team at all since he scored his hat trick against United last season? All he seems to do is be anonymous and score our 3rd or 4th late on. Bringing up Aguero is madness

So Haaland has a better manager with players more capable of bailing out his poor performances? Yes Aguero could have scored more against the likes of QPR and Reading. Not sure what your point is.

Nit picking is being overly critical of last night. All I'm saying is not beating a team like Madrid isn't surprising because we haven't done it all season. My original post was to someone who was making out this was a one off

Can we not compare Aguero to Haaland. In 12/13 he scored against Real Madrid, scored the winner against United, equaliser against Liverpool, scored the first against Spurs and the winner against a good Chelsea team Aguero turned up in the big games.

Thankfully in the league we have been able to beat the other sides and those around us have dropped points too. I guess my point is we haven't been able to beat any team of note this season and that makes it almost impossible to win the Champions League.

Nobody is imagining anything. Unless I've forgotten us beating top teams. In the league you can get away with not beating the top teams as long as they drop points which is what has been happening. In the CL however you are never going to win it with an inability of getting over the line and...

I wouldn't say that's putting the boot in. More like stating the obvious.

Disappointment is a strong word. Doesn't hide the fact we can't beat any top team this season though.

Is anything that I put wrong?
