9 | Erling Haaland - 2022/23 Performances

[alexmcity]

I remember when we played them away last season and beat them, Pep commented afterwards, ‘if you play fast, they come back at you faster’. It would seem that if you play slow, the same thing happens.

If you take your chances, you win. Sometimes we create great chances for Haaland and he takes them, sometimes he doesn't take them (Liverpool), and sometimes we struggle to create sufficiently good chances in the first place, for, say, KDB and other creative players have a bad day at the office. We weren't sufficiently concentrated, and we weren't willing to work sufficiently hard. It happens. Let's hope the players will be fit and hungry after the WC. If they are, we are likely to play much better than we did in some of the last games.

Let’s hope so. I’m sure we will.

Fucking hell. We need to try to get Ronaldo in january. Put your arse into gear Txiki, and get it done.

Any reason he wasn't playing in today's friendly?

Any reason he wasn't playing in today's friendly?

Their manager said he was still struggling a little with his foot so he rested him. Said he might play on Wednesday. Perfect little break for him after that!

He's not playing the friendly against Finland on Sunday either, and that's Norway's last game for now. So no internationals for Haaland for the rest of this year.

Does City have any friendlies he might play before Dec 22nd?

Still exhausted from picking himself up against brentford looking to make runs and never getting a pass against brentford

Apparently he needs 2-3 weeks of rest before he can get fully fit.

If he was from Belgium, that **** Martinez would have him playing every minute, friendly or not.
Refreshing the stance other managers take.
