9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

[pete73]

Had quite a few good runs ignored. Could and should have been played in at least twice second half but no one saw the pass or didnt think they could make it.

Watched a thing on youtube by City showing his 50 prem goals. The amount of balls Kev plays to him that we dont see anyone else play is pretty clear.

still we hear people claim that any decent no 9 could do his numbers at City, since he's so spoiled with delivery from the best team mates. Rediculus.
No doubt we have the best team, but Haaland completed our team in a way that no other signing did in the past, the treble is the evidence of that.
His scoring rate was identical in Germany and Austria at inferior teams.
I believe we'll have a fair chance to take an unprecedented back to back treble season. Especially when we get Kevin back.

Mint finish, that. Proper clinical at a time we needed it.

He was in our 6 yard box defending a counter attack at one point too. Love the guy.

Yep brilliant tonight.

His work rate off the ball tonight was exceptional. Well done big man.

 

[city warrior]

Great mentality tonight, defending when we got back in the game, and you just can see how much he wants to win.

There was no way he was walking off that pitch without the 3 points.

Elite mentality in the 2nd half, and cam literally turn a game for us whenever he fancies.

Mentality Monster , he enjoys every one of our goals whoever scores , he celebrates like he scored the goal himself , must be a dream to play with , you know what you get with the big man 100% effort for 90 minutes and brilliance with equal amounts of humility

What's weird is that I hear people (non-City fans) talk about Haaland like he's not quite been at it this season.

Yet...

He's at 14 goals in 13 PL games.
5 in 5 in the CL.
12 in 11 in competitive international games.

he’s truly amazing. so many players would be selfish and try to get their numbers up, he’s confident but not arrogant or selfish.

broke another record, fastest to score 40 ucl goals (35 games).

he won everything and he’s still excited and happy like a child whenever he hears the ucl anthem.

You saw the born winner mentality in him tonight. Things going against us and he just comes alive, constanrly made great runs, few shit touches that killed potential chances but kept going and you just knew he was going to score second half if given the chance. Even seen chasing back into defence to stop counters and getting everybody going when there was a break in play. Type of player and mentality who forces those around him to find an extra 10% when they think they're giving everything.

Animal and a complete pleasure to have him.
