9 | Erling Haaland - 2022/23 Performances

[Mr. Wednesday]

Just saying to the old man which player in the land would you want on the right wing to play with him…..

Yes, just think how many sitters he and Raz could have missed in just one game together ;)

 

[thanatos]

Don’t know why some on here thought this lad was plug and play. It will take time… a long way to go

Erling will murder the league. If he stays fit, he'll break records. Rusty and unlucky today. Shit happens.

 

[Claytop]

Put Robertson on his arse, good enough for me.

The lull before the storm , watching the dippers celebrate looked painful for him missing a sitter in front of blues in a friendly in Leicester likewise.

Erling had only 40 minutes under his belt before today. It would be a miracle if he were sharp.

This season will be very long. We had many players in the intetnational games in June. Pep was right to give them more rest. We'll be better against WHam.

He needs time like all players BUT he has a lot to learn.

Needs to use his physical presence....VVD and Matip had it so os easy....I dont think he has ever had to rely on his strength in the past, more relied on his pace.....this will need to change

Needs to learn what Kun learnt.....to be part of the team play in the build up more.....didnt get invovled enough in overall play

Be interesting to see how many touches he had in the whole game as it didnt seem like many

His first touch was very poor as well

He has undoubted goal threat however....but this will take time to develop the rest

 

[simon23]

not his day. more importantly the team is not in sync with his movement.

neither is his movement in sync with the team.....and he lacked any movement when the ball was in the middle third andthis is what Kun had to learn...dropping deep - this was learnt quickly by Kun and Jesus was natrual at it......Alvarez looks similar as well....Haaland its the opposite of what he wants to do

i do not want him to make the movements like jesus or alvarez. he had terrific movement beyond the defensive line of liverpool and not once was he picked out. I do not care he plays like our other past strikers. he was bought to utilize his pace, explosiveness and power behind, prefer the team changes to suit him. if we think he needs to make movements like jesus then we should have kept jesus.

We fans tend to look for logical explanations and narratives where there are none to be found because sometimes it's about luck. On another day Haaland would have scored 2 goals. Wouldn't be surprised if he scored 2-3 vs WHam next week. WHam are good, but not Bayern and Liverpool good. In contrast, Nunez might struggle vs Fulham, who knows?
