9 | Erling Haaland - 2022/23 Performances

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Along with his team mates and Pep to some extent (although he isn't going to abandon his approach that served him well in his managerial career)

Of course, but Haaland up front often looks isolated. Needs to drop back and help out more, imo. Just like Aguero did, and he became a better player because of it.

Have to say if he isn't scoring he's a bit of a lazy bastard, for someone supposedly so quick he jogs into the press half heartedly everytime then stands still when the ball bypasses him .

 

[r.soleofsalford]

Like any striker goals bring joy/happiness.
He's going to end up with depression if this carries on

He’s not the only fucking one.

 

[madloaf]

He’s not the only fucking one.

Best response of the day

 

[argyle]

He made a ton of runs today. No one looked for him.

Cancelo and Bernardo could have played a long through ball to him but both turned and passed sidways instead.

Wouldn't surprise me if he scores less than 10 more goals from now until end of season.

This team is devoid of ideas. We've gone from creating chance after chance after chance and watch Sterling and Mahrez etc miss sitters. Chances that Haaland would gobble up. To a team that is boring to watch and creates fuck all.

I think this team has run its course and a rebuild of sorts is required. It's as stale as an old loaf and it's sad to see.

Totally agree. Teams have also learned quickly how best to defend against him and that’s also why he has been less dangerous. Badly needs service though and our lack of creativity is the major issue.

 

[Ederson1000YardDrive]

Cancelo and Bernardo could have played a long through ball to him but both turned and passed sidways instead.

This is happening all the time. He's making runs behind but they don't have the balls to play him in.

 

[Tevez City]

Sometimes I miss the false 9.

 

[skillman]

This is happening all the time. He's making runs behind but they don't have the balls to play him in.

Main reason I’d have Gundogan in most games. He religiously looks to unleash Haaland at every opportunity.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

As brilliant as this lad is he’s got to learn to actually shift his arse and play football, not just stand about in the box waiting for the ball like a moody ****.

Aguero learnt this. Am sure Haaland will as well.
