In the past few games our play has evolved somewhat . Haaland occupies the central defence and now the likes of Gundogan and Bernardo are taking full advantage of the space he has created. Its when we leave him isolated up front without that support it looks like he's struggling in some games.
 
Written in the stars, it was.

Saw him doing a kick around with a little De Bruyne with an Erling haircut. Big kid.
 
I think he is officially the world's best player. The amount off goals he has scored combined with the Skill, Pace and Strength, is out of this world.

Haaland was always going to play for us. It was just a matter of time. I don't think he would ever leave City as he feels at home.

I think he will even beat his record next season.

Took Haaland 9 months to win his first medal.
Nunez achieved that in his first game for Liverpool
 
Found it quite interesting comparing Harry Kane's character with that of Haaland's yesterday. If Kane had been chasing 40 goals yesterday he'd have essentially chosen himself to play even if it meant jeopardising his match fitness/the team's prospects in the upcoming finals. He's a top player and very hard working but his focus on personal records has sometimes been to his own detriment. Haaland just seems like a pretty happy go lucky guy but a great professional at the same time. Despite smashing records left, right and centre he seems to have a good understanding of how the squad and his own game time needs to be managed to ensure the best outcomes all around.
 
Another great thing is we seem to be managing his injuries very well. You see massive CBs just bounce off him, and when he goes down, he’s up in a split second. I think he loves it here. Perfect mix of obsessive professionalism & being just a nice, humble, genuine guy.
 
Players with more (goals + assists) in the 2022/23 season by club and national team:

1st Mbappe 62
2nd Haaland 61
2nd Messi 61

4th Salah 53
5th Neymar 46
5th Vinicius Jr 46
5th Taremi 46
8th Rashford 43
8th Harry Kane 43
10th Gonçalo Ramos 42


But he still has 4 games. Of course we could care less about whether he scores or not in the last 2 ones, we just want to win them, but if he scores a hat-trick in both of them that would increase our chances :)

Haalands goalscoring for the national team is actually quite impressive compared to Messi and Mbappe, as their countries were in the last WC final, while Norway have not qualified for an international tournament since the 2000 euros.

Also: If one only looks at goals at club level, Haaland is far ahead of Mbappe, Messi, Lewandowski, Salah and Kane this season.
