9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

[eastmanc]

The best number 9 in the World. it will be a sad day when he leaves, no matter what some bluemoon idiot's think.

And don't give me that, we were a better team before the treble bullshit.

There are an awful lot of knee jerk reactions on Bluemoon.

Hat trick tonight can feel it in my bones

Only PL team he hasn’t scored against yet! Might get 5 tonight.

Temporary aberrations last game. He’ll be annoyed at himself but in no way disheartened.

He’s made of stronger stuff than his cissy cream bun detractors.

No idea what sort of credibility those sources have, to be honest. When I see the picture of him signing the new contract, with Txiki sat next to him, in his nice pullover, then I'll believe it.

I'm not basing what I'm saying on just the Chelsea match. I mean, cmon... Refrain from considering that those are all fair points, and I could live with his not being a proficient presser or not even working hard at it if he weren't statistically the worst finisher in the team thus far.

Adding context to Kane's 23.2 xG, he is +5.8, while Aguero never underperformed his xG at City and came closest at +0.1.

Haaland is currently the one of highest-paid players in the league and is expected to score goals for his team. Although it is a fact that he has scored the most goals in the league, this should not excuse his lackluster performance this season. As the highest-paid player, he should be held to a higher standard than anyone else on the team in my eyes, and unfortunately, he has not met those expectations this season.

State of you ya silly ****.

I can't help but think he's a bit disillusioned and too caught up in his own head and just needs to sort out some stuff. The spotlight being back on Mbappe is a good thing.

Lu Martin is credible. He co-wrote a biography of last season with Pol Ballus who is Manchester based and friends with Guardiola.

Same guys who said post-treble that Guardiola was minded last summer to not renew his current deal.

Fucking hell I’ve read some shite on Bluemoon I bet your one of them that wanted pep out as well

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

He looked well angry at weekend. Wouldn't like to be Brentford tonight!

Another game where the only difference between a limp draw and a narrow win was Erling Haaland. Pretty astonishing that he's not good enough for some people on here just because he occasionally has a bad game.
