I'll hold my hand! Our bloody fxcking viking!

Massive credits to the lad We needed a player to seal the deal and he came on and did it!

Unfortunately, we all can't be Haaland apologists mate

I remember Ake playing a game the next day after loosing his dad but it's Haaland we're talking about, so we'll look for any excuse we can find under the sun, I guess

Agreed mate Some people are weird, coming to a player thread where players are supposed to be criticized (constructively) or praised for their performances, but get mad when they don't see what they like being mentioned. Yet, you would find these same people criticizing other players in other...

I did, chanted to every one of his goals. Yes, Courtois was beaten, not by Haaland though

Agreed!

Some shots? yes All the shots? no If all your shots are saved, then you, as the striker, are not world class

No, sounds more like, he's been figured out and teams have adjusted on how to defend against him

True and agreed. Haaland was brought in to be the difference maker though, to takes us to that "next level", we still haven't beaten Liverpool at Anfield and still haven't scored at Spurs away (which could change). With all the goals Haaland scored last season, we still scored less goals in the...

Yes agreed, "world class strikers" should be able to score against world class keepers "Turning up" means scoring or assisting mate, not getting your shots saved.

The issues begins when we "city fans" put him on a pedestal, calling him "the best striker in the world" or "the best goal scorer ever", you must understand that with that comes great expectations.

"If it wasn't for the keeper", most strikers would of broken the PL record ages ago

That sounds nice, but it's not true, Haaland has the most amount of big chances missed in the PL (30), more than even Nunez, who's utter shite. Last season we created more chances, which made him look more clinical than he actually was.

Haaland's best attributes are more athletic than footballing hence he'll never be an Aguero or the best footballer in the world, that does not mean that he's a Championship player like Keane said. In the big games like yesterday, you need your big players to create a magic moment, the best...

Mate, your striker turning up in big games does not guarantee that you'll win anything but puts your team in the best position to do so. That's all we ask from our key players

That's because Gundo scored important goals which allowed Haaland's ghosting to go under the radar

As great as that output sounds, but we did not buy Haaland to score 5 goals passed Lutton or 5 passed Leipzig or the EPL teams. Before Haaland we'd been to 2 UCL semis and a UCL final, so we've always known how to get to these stages, he was supposed to be the difference maker in these games of...

The amount of excuses y'all make for this guy, if only you can go on every other thread and defend other players as well. He did not score against Madrid last year as well and shot blanks in both finals (FA & CL) as well, so what's new? I said it before and I'll say it again, against quality...

Big up the lad, being able to score a pen after having a frustrating game, it takes character to do that.
