He's everything we hoped for and more. Smashed the PL scorers in his first season whilst playing a pivotal part in our winning the FA Cup and getting to the CL final. Here's to many more seasons watching Haaland in sky blue.
Interesting article on playing against Haaland in The Athletic.
They pick up the obvious points - him being good at everything, and the fact that you have to neglect other players because he needs so much attention, but there was another interesting point about his "few touches" game.
The defenders said that he makes runs all the time when the ball isn't played, and every one frightens them a little bit more. Rather than it being a problem, frustrating Haaland, each one chips away at the defenders confidence, as they know he can beat them with ease. As the game goes on, they're second guessing themselves, and ultimately they often end up creating the space he needs. By the time the ball comes to him, they are already beaten.

You have one job: Stop Erling Haaland. How do you do it?

Henry was watching City train yesterday. He'll have had a word with Haaland and he'll go and break this barren spell on Saturday night.
