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

While I agree Haaland isn`t getting much if any service, I don`t blame the players. The more games we play the less they find him. You could see the frustration in Erlings face. I think crazy as it sounds Pep has told them not to put him through with the passes between both C/H`s or over the top so he can use his pace and strength. Perhaps Pep want to change him but I cannot believe our player cant see his runs.

What other reason can there be.

If we knew the answer to that R.Sole we would be earning the big bucks Pep is pocketing :)
 
He had a few chances against Forest but didn't take them. RB Leipzig are a much better side, not suprised he was limited to scraps.

He will always be on scraps if we have wingers who have to cut inside before attempting a cross, or players who fail to look up when hes making a run

This was the same RB Leipzig that have already beaten Real Madrid in the Champions League and drew with Bayern Munich in the . If we tried to open the game more in this we would have been picked off.

Haaland's presence makes us slower and more predictable in our attacking play and worse at pressing and corralling the opposition in our defensive play.

Would like to see Alvarez given a run of starts.

And if Kane was here things wouldn't of gotten any better.

The opposition tactics to nullify any potential threat from Haaland worked a treat tonight. I don't recall many decent opportunities to play him in tonight, except maybe the one chance he seemed to rush and put past the far post.

He pissed past Gvardiol on that occasion.
It's annoying to see that he had the beating of him yet we didn't try that until late on.
The through ball opportunities are there so we should be testing CH's with his pace early on in the game.
