And he doesn’t play for a top ten national team in the world as Messi and Ronaldo did!

Don’t see how it’s bad at all. It’s a long season. His minutes need to be managed. And hopefully they’re managed next year as well as they have been this one.

Pretty much what Pep said yesterday, if you read between the lines.

Guardiola did admit his young striker still has work to do to be bracketed with the two modern greats, citing his freakish build as a potential barrier to staying fit for long periods.

He said: "He is so competitive but to reach the Cristano and Messi levels is a lot of work. They don't get injured. Erling is tall, he's huge, he needs a lot of care, physios, not just one but a lot of people.

Pep Guardiola: Erling Haaland a machine like Cristiano Ronaldo but Lionel Messi remains the complete player

Pep Guardiola after Erling Haaland scores 30th Premier League goal of season: Hes quite similar in terms of Cristiano [Ronaldo] but [Lionel] Messi is the more complete player. Messi can play wherever while Cristano and Erling are machines

Bournemouth, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Everton, Nottingham Forest, Southampton, West Ham and Wolverhampton Wanderers have all scored less Premier League goals than Erling Håland this season!

That’s all well and good, but for me I just prefer watching Darwin Nunez - he’s so unpredictable, you never know what he’s going to do next!

If he doesn't get at the very fucking least another 4 goals before his birthday I'll be really disappointed.

This is unbelievably good. If he wants to stay top of this list he has to continue posting 50+ goal seasons.

Given it looks like that's not been achieved by anybody in top flight English football for about 95 years it would be totally outrageous for him to just start doing that year in year out (though I do think it's possible for him in this City team if he stays fit).

He averages about 7 goals a calendar year for Norway so in a year with no World Cup he could have been over 50 already.

Question for the stattos. Was it Royle or Keegan who signed Alfi? Either way it was the best signing they made.
