Seems some go out of their way to criticise him. There’s something unique about this forum where posters have to look at the worst in everything. Atrocious body language? I mean, what the fuck does that even mean? Well I know what it means but it’s bollocks.

He seems to lack interest in pressing as hard as the rest of the team. It's harder to accept for me since he's underperforming pretty significantly in front of goal this season.
Sorry you can’t live with it. I find it hard to live with reading your constant stats and shite in order to come across as somehow more in the know when it comes to the game but here we are.

Would love to hear his analysis of what that table of stats actually shows.
Given we're discussing a striker, I'd have been more drawn to the fact he has the most goals and shots on target, despite missing just shy of 2 months.
That's the joy of football, it's a game all about opinions, and unfortunately everyone is entitled to one.
The perfect footballer doesn’t exist. I don’t get the need to try and find fault with a player who has broken more records in his short time with us than any other player I can think of in all the years I’ve followed this team.
He’s still the top scorer in the league this season and he’s missed nearly a fucking quarter of it through injury.
But he is no different than any other player we have mate . He gets paid a lot of money probably millions more than supporters who go to watch if can’t afford to go to games so if they want to criticise him or any other pkayer who they deem not to be trying the. That is up to them . As for me personally I think this season he has missed a lot of easy chances but I don’t think he hasnt really got started and hopefully he will play into form .

Been injured for 9 weeks and still got the most goals in the Premier League.

His biggest problem was that he was so good last season. He hit the ground running at 100mph. From the first penalty at WHU everything he touched in front of goal went in. Everyone probably expects the same from him every season now. Strikers miss Easy chances, just as much as defenders make fuck ups costing us goals. It's part and parcel of football.
Imo, this season will be the opposite of last season in that Haaland will get stronger and stronger in the final 1-2 months. Last season, he was relatively poor in the final 5-6 weeks, as he played more football than ever in his career. This season, he will reach new heights in the final months.
