The thing is the whole thing is obviously rehearsed. Ake into midfield where there’s a triangle and Haaland is on his bike before it’s even got to Gundogan - so why didn’t he follow up with it? So frustrating.

Maybe not mate but we are not doing him any favours either . It’s never going to work with this midfield because they can’t or won’t adapt to him . Cone next season if we line up with gundo silva Mahrez and even grealish all at once then it will still be the same I mean even foden doesn’t pass to him either . The rest of this season will be the same I’m afraid .That illustrates the problem perfectly, it doesn’t get much better than that situation to play him in. We’re still playing like there’s no striker there. No way he’s leaving though like some are saying.
What makes it worse is that we are playing provably the dullest football in the premier league. If we were smashing it you could say haaland needs to adapt to us but we are not and we need to change .Boils my blood that we aren't playing to his strengths. Opening game of the season, De Bruyne plays a surgical through ball into Erling who leaves the entire backline for dead with his pace and finishes first time; can anyone remember us doing the same since? He'll fuck off to Madrid in a couple of years if we aren't maximising his abilities and seriously challenging in the CL. Pep needs to sort it out, that's why he's paid the big bucks. He is hands down the best centre forward in the world but he is completely unsuited to our current mechanical football.

Double figures for touches?Have a feeling he's going to have a big day
Don't be sillyDouble figures for touches?
Four touches three goals
The reverse Ederson
He hasn't been himself lately. i know we aren't helping, but something's a little off with him. Maybe we have forgotten to update his software, I don't know, I just hope it's not his his foot or something more serious.

Erling played well today with the front trio of Jack, Julian & Phil. Nice energy between the lot of them.
Well done Haaland !
