9 | Erling Haaland - 2022/23 Performances

[kaz7]

Aguero missed chances and 22 year old Aguero, though I didn't see him, almost certainly did.

Dont think he meant the 22yr old sergio, just sergio in general

Well even Sergio in general missed chances, there isn't a striker in the world that doesn't or hasn't.

I was really frustrated with that miss. Aguero may not have scored as many as Haaland does now, but Aguero buries that chance blindfolded, City cruise to an easy 2-0 win, and we go top of the table. Aguero was the epitome of a title-winning striker. Haaland has yet to prove that at this level.

Kaz even the most ardent city fan can see all is not well atm . Now maybe I’m of the mark with him leaving as it would cost a fortune but he is not happy .

Think Haaland is the best striker in the world or up there with the best. Read somewhere he has missed the most big chances in the league, though. In other words, it's not true that we don't create enough chances for him. He's scored many league goals because of his clever movement (and our ability to create chances), and not because he is absolutely clinical or something like that.

He literally said last week that he’s never been happier in his life.

People like to ignore the positives don't they?

Haaland will be going nowhere anytime soon.

Why is it?

We were having a discussion in a pub in Nottingham regarding his hold up play and the standout weaknesses in his game currently. Conversation led back to Harry Kane and how he, in his current guise, is the perfect striker for our style of play.

However, there is no way that Harry Kane was playing this way at 22. He was a goalscorer but he wasn't hitting the unprecedented numbers that Haaland is currently. Kane wasn't dropping deep to link the play at that age. I'd say only in the past 3 or 4 years has that really come to prominence within his game.

Haaland is so young and he has so much time on his side to get better at linking the play. Sure the staff at City are working on this with him and I'm sure it is something he relishes to improve. Hopefully we get to see this develop over the years he is with us.

He would definitely be a better player for us right now,but that is because Pep hasn't altered his approach to our football with Haaland in the side,he's still playing the tactics and game plan that cater for the qualities and attributes that would suit Kane.
