9 | Erling Haaland - 2022/23 Performances

[waspish]

Haalands was just being to nice there letting gundo take it for his hatrick but at 2-0 you don’t take that chance because we saw what happened when it was missed! Haaland misses it fair enough

Probably was out with Jack all night..

He'll be on the naughty step in training tomorrow.

A day to forget for the big man, hopefully he's got his shooting boots on against Madrid.

The scary thing is that despite his incredible goalscoring record he still misses a lot of chances for someone so prolific. All strikers will miss more than they score but can you imagine if he improved his conversion rate by even 5% which I think he is capable of as he's not reached his peak yet. His numbers would be unprecedented.

Should have had another match ball against dirty Leeds , maybe saving his next match ball for the Bernabeu :)

 

[mccity]

I actually respect the fact he's enough of a team player to have willingly given the penalty away. However, I hope he doesn't do it again

Should snap Madrid’s hand off this summer

 

[RayCTID]

Can't have a go for passing the opportunity after breaking a record vs West Ham but was wasteful.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Got a feeling he'll be itching to make up for it in Madrid

 

[shemnel]

Incredible he didn't score today, a bad day in front of goal for the lad. He worked hard though and was a great presence.

 

[Haaland94]

Extremely unlucky. On another day, he could have scored 5 with the same chances. Hopefully he got it out of his systen before Madrid. I loved it how he handed the ball to Gundo for the pen, what a class act.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

I hope he’s alright.

‘Ya’ll riiiiiight?’

Dont think pep agreed

Dont think pep agreed

Yeah, long-term, I also would want Haaland to take every single pen, no exceptions, because he has like a 95+% pen record, but at 2:0 vs Leeds, maybe knowing Gundo is about to leave in the summer, it was a nice touch. Obviously, it backfired though, and it gave us a scare. Watching the game live, I thought Haaland maybe also figured it's not his game, and Gundo was exceptional and already had 2 goals, so at the time I thought why not.

Hope he’s saving them all for Madrid.

Funnily enough because he’s been breaking all the records at this time of the season but I think his form in front of goal has dropped off in the last month. He’s taking 2 or 3 chances when before it was 1 chance 1 goal.

He’s still scoring enough because we’re making enough chances, and I do feel he’s saving himself for the big games.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

In a way I love how he didn't take that penalty, giving that chance up to Gundo showed grace and an unselfish side to his personality. That decision would go a long way to show his team mates that it's not all about him. This isn't the Harry Kane team after all.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

He’ll have got an absolute bollocking off Pep after the game, so hopefully he’s on fire against Madrid.
