9 | Erling Haaland - 2022/23 Performances

[jimmygrimblesboots]

We have some talented , intelligent footballers so i am amazed how many times they ignore his runs , Bernardo , Gundo had a couple of easy throughballs and ignored him completely against Leipzig , and some of his knock ons from Ederson's long balls are superb , just our players are ont reading the situations. We are not used to playing with a target man but some of our players need to wake up and play to the big mans strengths

I don’t think inverted wingers is necessarily the problem. It’s more our inverted wingers that are the issue. Grealish and Mahrez don’t work. Both have their positives, I mean it’s hard to argue with Mahrez form since the WC and Grealish is arguably in his best form since he came to the club. However, as wide forwards as providers for Haaland, they are both fucking useless and it won’t change because it’s exactly how they both play. Want the best out of Haaland? Grealish and Mahrez can’t play wide. If KDB isn’t playing, we might as well drop Haaland and play with a false 9.

This. Their upturn in form has seen his nosedive, which shouldn’t really be the case.

I think Foden has to play and KDB always has to play when fit as we just don’t create enough clear cut chances when he doesn’t. Those two players are our creators but I accept both haven’t been in the best of form.

And the other one where a decent touch takes him away but he stood on the ball

Yeah, we can improve the service to him without doubt but he can improve a lot too. If he’s not on a straight run he’s very poor at going past defenders. He’s never going to be Mbappe in terms of dribbling but with the pace he has he doesn’t have to do a great deal to go past players better than he does currently.

Was just going to post something similar mate, he looks absolutely pissed off and I get it as tonight he made so many runs and the ball is just never played!

least we’ll get decent money for him when he inevitably gets fed up and demands a move to Madrid.

Watched the game with the mute button on , but my son stated BT mus thave mentioned during and after the game the pundits and commentators mentioned how angry Haaland was about twenty times , i was watching the game and avoided the BT brainwashing , he was frustrated a couple of times like many strikers are frustrated when they dont recieve the ball , but no different than Kane , Mbappe , Salah and other top class stikers , when the same happens to them.
But if a lie is told often enough it sometimes becomes fact , it certainly does with the UK sports media.

To be fair i think the commentators could see his frustration better than anyone watching on TV

Not having a go at you mate , but it was only a couple of games ago at Arsenal that Haaland had his best game in a blue shirt and terrorised the Goons and scored an important goal and all was well , he fails to score in a couple of game and all of a sudden the honeymoon is over.

He will break all records this season , his first in a very competitive Premier league , he has torn up this league and when our players get more accustomed to his strengths he will even better next season.

Really not arsed how many times he touches the ball in a game , let the media continue with that bullshit , i ambothered about him scoring goals and winning the team more points with those goals.
If he only touches the ball three times and scores a hat-trick , i can live with that.

He literally came out publicly last week in an interview saying how frustrated he was to not get passes in behind. He said he asked City's midfielders to put him in loads during games. He's very clearly frustrated. This isn't a commentator melodrama thing.
