9 | Erling Haaland - 2022/23 Performances

[Paul1970]

So far he isn’t really firing on full yet and out players are still not finding him but he has already scored 3 goals

He’s getting better every game for us. You can see in glimpses that he’ll be unstoppable on his day.

That said, I think the worst thing about his performances so far has been his finishing. That sounds mad considering he’s got 3 goals in 3 games, but he’s missed quite a few excellent chances.

Hopefully, it won’t be long before he is firing on all cylinders.

He was extremely close on one chance he made almost entirely himself where he hit the post on his weaker foot.

He had another shot that was just blocked.

You shouldn't worry about it.

You should start worrying about finishing when he regularly shoots (and it isn't saved or blocked), and he simply misses the net completely, that's not happening, he's taking good shots.

Blistering speed and strength . Not sure why but he jumps poorly
We haven't (apart from KDB ) figured out how to play to him.
Our ball into the box against a crowded defence was mostly crap when Sterling or Jesus was the 9- it still is.
Hopeful aimless little lobs or crosses 9 foot in the air won't work for Haaland.

He's fucking brilliant. We're adapting to him, he doesn't need to do much adapting. So, so strong..

He's incredible

My MOTM today. Scary.

3 in 3, not a bad return is it. Lot more to come from Erling, once the team is more familiar with his runs and movement he will score more.

 

[Crooked_rain]

i thought he had a good game

3 goals from 3, continuing his usual ratio.

I think we need to start finding him a bit more though but it will come. His quality is obvious.

I agree, he was unlucky with the one he made for himsel, brilliant play.

The one where he was through on goal, he was a bit unlucky because he collided with the Newcastle defender which made him get to the ball a second later, allowing Pope come off his line and meet the ball earlier. I still think he could’ve done a bit better with it but it was definitely not as easy as it looked.

3 in 3 and its fair to say he‘s still finding his feet with us. missing some chances you might expect him to score, but he will and his numbers will be astounding.

He is doing fine, the players around him need to wake up to the fact we now have a striker and get the ball into him far quicker.
