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.

That might be the thing you (or we, as fans) want.
But we don't know what exactly that Pep wants him to do when he doesn't score, and that's more important.

I, personally, want more than that. But no complain if that's what Pep wants ;)

Eh? He doesn't score, but we score 4, where he laid the 1st on a plate for Gundogan; I'm fairly certain Pep will be more than happy with his contribution
 
His movement has impressed me. Obviously it'll stick out more when defenders are scared shitless of you, but he seems to have a good reading on the game and knows how to use his pace/size not only to get into good positions but to draw defenders away and create space for his teammates (see KDB goal)
 
Showed us the true value of Haaland today. he's not just goals, his sheer presence, the fear he strikes into defenders, the movements he makes not neccesarily to get the ball everytime but just to drag the defender with him to free space elsewhere, those things are his true value to this side.

As for the goals, he was getting in spaces, inches away from 2/3 balls that in a few weeks he will get to because they're all fully on the same wavelength,
His movement is phenomenal and the way he just bodies centre halves like an adult playing with under 8's will never ever get boring to see.

If he doesn't touch the ball all season but occupies 2/3 defenders to give the likes of kdb foden mahrez and gundogan the space to do the business, he's more than played his role. Great display.

Bournemouth did a reasonably good job of loading up on him and denying him any kind of space, but of course that frees up room for the other boys to take advantage. He's going to be a huge plus this season, teams aren't going to know where to look when we are going forward :)

That's the thing I'm not too sure, in this specific match :)
 
I think that without him KDB doesn’t have the room to get a shot off, he single handedly occupied 3 defenders. That’s the sort of thing we desperately need against packed defenses. The goals will absolutely come.

He is a natural born striker with the attitude to succeed. If he stays relatively fit he’ll break all records in england
