In 10 years time people will be mentioning his name in the same regard as they do Messi and Ronaldo.

45 goals in all competitions; record for a Premier League player.
And there still might be 15 games left of the season!

Given his rate of scoring hat-tricks, he could easily break 50 and even 60 for the season.

In his first season in the Premier League under Pep. Salivating!
 
I thought 40 goals in the league might've just slipped out of his reach but with the form he's shown lately I actually feel 10 in the last 9 is quite likely.
It's gonna be close as stat prognosis suggests 39 atm.
It will be decided by game time allowed by Pep. If Haaland gets constantly subbed and miss last 10 minutes of every game left, this is a period of the game statistically much easier to score.
We know Pep don't care about encouraging individual records, so it's gonna be tough...
 
He probably won't get too many shouts for MOTM tonight despite the goal and assist, but I think he's changed the whole psyche of the players, fans and manager.

Pep's not changing things to try and find solutions, the players seem so much more relaxed when they get chances because the pressure to score is off them, and the crowd and all City fans just seem so much calmer when a chance goes wide. Doesn't matter, the next one will fall to Haaland and it'll be a goal.

I believe we can win any game of football from any position or scoreline when he's on the pitch, and I think everyone connected to the club feels the same, or is on the way to it.
An interesting angle… and so true.
 
Just been having a look back through his stats for the season.

The was a period when people were seriously questioning him and doubting that he'd made the right move coming to City. This was between the Liverpool cup game on December 22nd and the Leipzig game on 14th March.

He still scored 11 goals in 17 games and contributed a further 2 assists in this period.

The guy is unbelievable.
