[Blue and true]

The velocity on that penalty was something else.

Brilliant penalty yesterday. Sanchez had no idea what to do. Didn't even attempt to dive, just flopped to his side.

Some idiots said he would only be the difference between four nil and five nil, not actually make the difference in games we weren't going to win... already he's been THE difference in plenty of matches and this is another.

Yep. We don't win that match yesterday without him. Eddie's long pass would have gone harmlessly to the keeper as no one else would have made a run for it and Mahrez would have skyed the penalty. Which is exactly what we bought him for. To drag us over the line when we are not at our best.

Harry Kane is in the form of his life.

He has 11 goals in 16 games.

Haaland has 22 in 15.

Insane that he's actually doing better for us than he has for his previous clubs. I guess it's that service.

Brilliant penalty yesterday. Sanchez had no idea what to do. Didn't even attempt to dive, just flopped to his side.

Thats cos it was in the net before he had a chance to move.

Are you joking?

He's an absolutely incredible athlete and fantastic at putting the ball in the back of the net but in terms of 'pure footballing ability,' there are so, so many names you could rattle off before him.

Pure footballing ability is great to watch, But Haaland’s job is to bang in goals basically. As a striker, that’s really what you’re paid do right?

So in terms of his job on the pitch, he is truly as top level as it gets. There might be players who have been easier on the eye in terms of skills, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they were better at their job than Haaland. Haaland is every bit as good as De Bruyne in terms of their respective roles on the pitch, they’re just different roles.

So it’s not a ludicrous statement. If you look at a players main role on a pitch, it’s not ridiculous to say Haaland could arguably end up the most elite player we’ve had.
