9 | Erling Haaland - 2022/23 Performances

Decent, but suspicion of handball.

I don’t think I’ll ever see a harder goal scored in my lifetime. A half volley whilst facing the cornerflag from the tightest of angles.

Similar goal at home to Burnley when Fernandinho had been sent off.

Correct. It's a no-look goal, as far as I can make out, for the last ten seconds or so. Even when he hits it, he is only side on, not facing the goal. Also, he virtually has to take it outside the box, and beat not merely the keeper but the two defenders who are back. He gets it even just slightly wrong it goes over the bar, or too close to the defenders who head it out of play. I still don't understand how he did it. Erling's doing fine, but I've not seen anything like that from him just yet.

And we probably won’t as we’re too good now for him to be even attempting that.

He’d be in the 6 yard box tapping it in.

They’re both capable of taking your breath away with their finishing, just in different ways.

If it’s true he’s earning £900k per week then quite frankly I’m disgusted. I thought we want to keep him? He’s worth much more :)

One of the finest finishes I've ever seen.
Along with this

I can do that with a beach ball. In fact, I do it unintentionally all the time.

I think the journos have just added up the weekly wages of the players that left in the summer and multiplied it by the ratio of goals Haaland scores in comparison to all of them put together.

Has anyone asked if he has a release clause, yet?

The baldy fraud said he doesn't. I believe him.

What happens if you try to do it intentionally? :)

He’s probably better than Carson, but behind Walker.

We need to get an Irish player or two as emergency keepers.

Probably have a buy back on Bazunu. Does Quinn have kids? They must be grown up if he does.
