9 | Erling Haaland - 2022/23 Performances

[Bazzmand Show]

He is now

Needs to prove he can do it over a sustained period like 10 years + Ronaldo and Messi had insane durability, they never got injured which helped them a lot.

I felt like he put in a lot of effort defensively

 

[SouthernPlastic]

I don’t think I’ve seen Erling run as much as he did yesterday, his press was much better.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Just having a laugh at this infamous one from countdown nerd man. It's as hilarious as it is terrible

Will the novelty of Erling Haaland scoring – again and again and again – wear off?

Assessments of the Manchester City striker’s first season in English football have been reduced to a counting exercise

I mean come on this is hilarious:






I think Pep is reprogramming Erling, and him getting his first assist to de Bruyne is a tiny bit of evidence we might be starting to see the results of that.

I dont think we've made anywhere near as much as we can out of haaland this season (thinking back to games similar to spurs away where he made runs and we never played him in), and we will soon see improvement in his all round game. I don't think him improving other areas of his game will come at the expense of him scoring goals. I think what we're about to see is going to be mental (if it wasn't already)

Up there with the most satisfying things about him is the fact he's a massive team player too. He's not greedy to the sense of shooting on sight but instead has a knack of appreciating others in better positions than he is (Bernie vs Bayern, KDB's second last night) yet he still scores a shitload of goals in the process. He's got 7 assists in the PL this season. The same amount as Odegaard has for Arsenal.

Works his bollocks off for the team. Always first one there in a scuffle to make sure teammates are backed up. Chanting Stones' name during celebrations.

He's the complete striker and is only going to get better.

To be fair, the novelty probably wore off months ago for a lot of non-Citeh fans. But we're biased, innit?

After he set up KDB for his second, he ran towards us in the North Stand to celebrate with us. He's a City fan thru and thru.

 

[Manc in London]

It was one of his best performances for us by far from a pure footballing standpoint. His link up play, driving with the ball, the chances he created for himself and others. The Athletic is a full blown rag/dipper fanzine.

I thought it was his best in terms of contributing outside goals. He was brilliant, in my opinion.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

One of his best all-round displays in a city shirt so far.

Excellent link-up play and unlucky not to grab at least two more goals. He has an aura of the likes of Zlatan, Drogba, Ronaldo (both real and fake) etc that petrifies defences.

Scary to think there’s still so much more to come from him.
