9 | Erling Haaland - 2022/23 Performances

[Clembo]

Did the exact thing you want him to do when he doesn't score, draw players away, something we've missed since losing Sergio.

I also love how annoyed he was not to score, something you want to see from your main striker.

It's possible Foden didn't see him, but regardless, even if he doesn't score he attracts defenders towards him and that's what got him the assist for Gundogan.

If he doesn't score he still offers alot in other areas.

Sucks for my fantasy points though...

I don't care if he doesn't touch the ball if his presence allows the rest of the team to get the space they did today.

Really good assist too.

Got an assist and should've had a goal if Foden had squared it. Does need to get used to the team and vice versa, and get involved a bit more ideally. He hasn't quite gotten used to that KDB early cross behind the defenders, once he does I can see that being highly fruitful for him and us.

I'm a game in which he "played poorly" per the geniuses on Twitter he 1. assisted the first goal 2. had a tap in if Phil just passed the ball, and 3. dragged defenders all over opening up space for everyone else. Think we'll be ok.

Had Kane last week, 4 goals scored none for him. Swapped to Haaland, 4 goals scored, none for him. Just awaiting Kane getting a couple against Chelsea now.

 

[Gus Fring]

Good performance, mirror what everybody else says really shame Phil didn’t spot him (we’ll go with that) and that he didn’t convert his chance(s) but the ability to distract defences centrally created so much space for Foden, Gundo and KDB.

I think he will be a huge asset against teams parking the bus just by being there, just hope he can convert some chances and keep the media off his back.

 

[Shaffer92]

It's going to be a process as we value the ball so highly under Pep and he's always looking for that ball over the top which we only really try if we're sure it's on. As other have said, he still garners a ton of attention which is helpful. Fantastic assist to Ilkay as well.

His presence alone is a danger itself.
