Apologies - it was my attempt at sarcasm !! I take absolutely zero notice of any individual football awards.

I think he has been good for us this season… actually did think he wasn’t that good last night. That miss after about 20/25 mins wasn’t pretty.

He was far from his best I agree but he did set up Phil's 2nd...and always goes all out...
 
I think Julian is our long term KDB replacement.

When he plays lone striker like he did yesterday he was isolated, looked invisible at times.. but that's the same problem as Haaland.. our midfield not finding our strikers with key passes.

When Julian and Erling play together, they are almost in perfect sync and they create space for each other and open up passing lanes for the midfield too. I think we're a much more fluid team with Haaland and Julian up top.

We might actually get more life out of KDB too by not making him play 80 games a year and save him for last 30 minute subs when we need to win a game!

Edit: LEGENDARY PROOF READING FAILURE

When Haaland & Erling play together? Are you suggesting cloning?

Is he an upgrade on Jesus? Or did he just have a purple patch in the WC? Like Gabby had a purple patch on joining Arsenal perhaps?

I am not convinced he's an upgrade TBH, but maybe I am wrong.

No,Jesus is the better player.

Unfortunately he understandably wanted to be the main man for the club he represented and Arsenal are the lucky club to benefit from such.

Alvarez is a good un though,as long as he doesnt get itchy feet as well.....i'm more than happy he is our support act.

He's not got the close control skills of Jesus, but his purple patch in front of goal has run from mid 2021 now.
