9 | Erling Haaland - 2022/23 Performances

[MarsLlama]

I'm starting to get very concerned. Not with his performances but by the fact that his teammates seemingly don't want to look for him. Give him even two chances in that game and he probably scores.

 

[red 2 hats]

We're making him look shit, we signed a striker who loves to run onto a through ball, then don't fucking pass to him.

 

[Dethred]

The most Typical City thing to happen in almost a decade is that Haaland will come here and not win anything his first year.

 

[Trojan1962]

Thought he should have been replaced with Alvarez today as it wasn’t happening for him

 

[iTyler]

Said it before and will do again. Although he wouldn't have scored quite as many, Kane would have been a much better fit for us. He's a far better player than Haaland is ever likely to be.

Been saying it all season, if the players get their heads up, there’s plenty times that they can play him through

Today, he tried to play a one-two with Bernado, and he ran into a great position, and Bernardo just took his customary six touches and passed it backwards

We will see, Haaland is still young though. He may have a same potential as Kane will be as complete striker.

 

[super_city_si]

Must be seriously pissed off. Whats the point in playing him?

 

[meeesh]

Don’t worry about this lad,he will still score a load more this season

Sure, he can and will improve. But I think he is what he is ultimately and will always be that. That's perfectly fine and he will go on to break all kind of records. But Kane would have been huge for us today, his style of play.

Consolation goals if we keep this shite up.

 

[walker_is_faster]

His team mates doesn't yet know how to play with him.

 

[Lauz9888]

Starved of service at the minute. Thought he looked decent dropping a little deeper to help with the build up, but if he's doing that we need to be set up with runners going past him.

He's suffering from our creativity slump unfortunately.

We are in still transition phase this season, i don't think we will win any title which is very unfortunate for Haaland but that's football sometimes signing world class striker doesn't guarantee you win everything.

Kane may be a better playmaker than Haaland but he'd just be occupying the spaces of our actual designated playmakers which doesn't fix the problem. We need forwards who stretch the entire length and width of the pitch and he wouldn't do that but Haaland does and can do even better if we utilise his runs and speed to get in behind. Something Harry Kane hasn't done for 5 years.

Excuse me? HOW good could feckin Kane have been if nobody passed the ball to him exactly?

Don't agree with any of that really, but each to their own.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Won’t see the best of Haaland until the wide forwards pull their fingers out of their arse. They create nothing for him. Best striker in the world being starved of service could only happen at City.

Kane comes deep to collect the ball at times and his link up and hold up play is on another planet to what Haaland's is currently. He would get himself involved in the game.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Its our flat out refusal to play the ball to him when hes making a run. Apart from KDB nobody looks up and plays it firat time, as soon as they get it they pass it back.
