This. Their upturn in form has seen his nosedive, which shouldn’t really be the case.I don’t think inverted wingers is necessarily the problem. It’s more our inverted wingers that are the issue. Grealish and Mahrez don’t work. Both have their positives, I mean it’s hard to argue with Mahrez form since the WC and Grealish is arguably in his best form since he came to the club. However, as wide forwards as providers for Haaland, they are both fucking useless and it won’t change because it’s exactly how they both play. Want the best out of Haaland? Grealish and Mahrez can’t play wide. If KDB isn’t playing, we might as well drop Haaland and play with a false 9.
Yeah, we can improve the service to him without doubt but he can improve a lot too. If he’s not on a straight run he’s very poor at going past defenders. He’s never going to be Mbappe in terms of dribbling but with the pace he has he doesn’t have to do a great deal to go past players better than he does currently.And the other one where a decent touch takes him away but he stood on the ball
Looks fed up. This fairytale may be over sooner than we imagined
Watched the game with the mute button on , but my son stated BT mus thave mentioned during and after the game the pundits and commentators mentioned how angry Haaland was about twenty times , i was watching the game and avoided the BT brainwashing , he was frustrated a couple of times like many strikers are frustrated when they dont recieve the ball , but no different than Kane , Mbappe , Salah and other top class stikers , when the same happens to them.Looks fed up.

To be fair i think the commentators could see his frustration better than anyone watching on TVWatched the game with the mute button on , but my son stated BT mus thave mentioned during and after the game the pundits and commentators mentioned how angry Haaland was about twenty times , i was watching the game and avoided the BT brainwashing , he was frustrated a couple of times like many strikers are frustrated when they dont recieve the ball , but no different than Kane , Mbappe , Salah and other top class stikers , when the same happens to them.
But if a lie is told often enough it sometimes becomes fact , it certainly does with the UK sports media.
Not having a go at you mate , but it was only a couple of games ago at Arsenal that Haaland had his best game in a blue shirt and terrorised the Goons and scored an important goal and all was well , he fails to score in a couple of game and all of a sudden the honeymoon is over.To be fair i think the commentators could see his frustration better than anyone watching on TV

We have some talented , intelligent footballers so i am amazed how many times they ignore his runs , Bernardo , Gundo had a couple of easy throughballs and ignored him completely against Leipzig , and some of his knock ons from Ederson's long balls are superb , just our players are ont reading the situations. We are not used to playing with a target man but some of our players need to wake up and play to the big mans strengths
If we knew the answer to that R.Sole we would be earning the big bucks Pep is pocketing :)While I agree Haaland isn`t getting much if any service but I don`t blame the players. The more games we play the less they find him. You could see the frustration in Erlings face. I think crazy as it soundsPep has told them not to put him through with the passes between both C/H`s or over the top so he can use his pace and strength. Perhaps Pep want to change him but I cannot believe our player cant see his runs.
What other reason can there be.
He will always be on scraps if we have wingers who have to cut inside before attempting a cross, or players who fail to look up when hes making a runHe had a few chances against Forest but didn't take them. RB Leipzig are a much better side, not suprised he was limited to scraps.
He'll be off in the Summer and Alvarez as well.
This was the same RB Leipzig that have already beaten Real Madrid in the Champions League and drew with Bayern Munich in the . If we tried to open the game more in this we would have been picked off.He will always be on scraps if we have wingers who have to cut inside before attempting a cross, or players who fail to look up when hes making a run
And if Kane was here things wouldn't of gotten any better.Haaland's presence makes us slower and more predictable in our attacking play and worse at pressing and corralling the opposition in our defensive play.
Would like to see Alvarez given a run of starts.
He pissed past Gvardiol on that occasion.The opposition tactics to nullify any potential threat from Haaland worked a treat tonight. I don't recall many decent opportunities to play him in tonight, except maybe the one chance he seemed to rush and put past the far post.
