9 | Erling Haaland - 2022/23 Performances

[OB1]

The pundits keep on going on about how many touches of the ball Haaland has , he had sixteen against Palace and scored three times , who gives a shit about how many times he touches the ball , if the pricks who make these comments watched his runs off the ball and the defenders he takes with him they might just realise there is a lot more to being a world class striker than touches of the ball.
Ive watched some really brilliant strikers over the years Gerd Muller , Jimmy Greaves , Lewandowski , Benzema, Aguero etc. and none of them are constantly involved in games , but they are there when it matters , sticking the ball in the onion bag.

If his team mates "spotted" a few more of those runs it would be good too :)

Seen this and there is literally nothing in it. Just dippers trying to stir stuff up. He’s walking off knackered, hugs him twice. Nowt in it.

I haven't seen owt from anyway in fairness. I just saw it yesterday at the match and he seemed to be embarrassed.
Watch it again, was a bit odd.

Starting his celebrations already while holding off two palace players

He is physically unique. That's what sets him apart. He reminds me of Jonah Lomu and Usain Bolt when they came along and were physically superior to their competitors. We've had big 6 foot 4 target men before but none have had the sheer pace that Haaland has. Accompany that with being deadly in front of goal and you've got a monster on your hands.

the anticipation and movement too. There’s never been a striker with his characteristics.

I can't believe people are only just working out that Pep is a bit of a weirdo, and he's a proper weirdo when he is having a good time and up for it. Southern European disposition meeting Scandi disposition. Both had fun yesterday.

Nice article from Sports Illustrated

Opinion: Erling Haaland Could Break Premier League Record

The Norwegian has taken to the Premier League like a lion to the jungle. His class is evident every time he steps onto the pitch, and his strength was almost super human for Manchester City's third goal today.

Be interesting to know the thoughts of the poster who, in the match thread, said he looks like Bony at times. Actually no, ‘an expensive Bony’.

Facepalm.

Was that domalino spouting shit again (:

 

[Silva&Silva]

8 touches in the 2nd half. 3 goals.

I bet the Twitter gimps aren't going to be reporting on the number of touches this time....
