9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

We have to get him one on one with the opposition defender more, as we saw last night and against Everton he scares the crap out of them.

He sounds like a daft ****.

Wonder what his username is on here…

Say what you really mean and get off that fence. You'll get splinters in your bankside.:-)

Who said that? LOL

I think I saw it in one of the match threads some time ago. If you type in "Haaland Bony" in the search tool, it does come up ;).

Agree completely. When teams are defaulting into the low block, we need to be charging ahead at full speed and getting him running into their third before they have time to set up.

The whole "walk it into the corner then pass it around" thing we are trying is a complete waste of him.

Once we take a lead, we can afford to slow it down and poke/prod at them because they need a goal. But at 0-0, some urgency really helps him.

His goal was inevitable last night. Our Viking doesn't get stuck in ruts for long.

As someone pointed out earlier when he runs at defenders he can destroy them and there confidence like he did to braithwaite the other day but trying to pass the ball not the net and passing to him infront of a packed defence means he might aswell not be there .

 

[Goater=Legend]

Ajer, Braithwaite, Upamecano (twice), Gerrard

Getting tired of the 'yeah but the defender slipped'

Its because they've panicked into making a mistake.

Great hold up play today , allowed us to play long ,

 

[Lavinda Past]

Just not good enough today. Nowhere near.

Did well for the goal and tried hard but just not at the races recently.

Thought he was fine today. Limited to few chances, the first of which he should have scored, but created the goal that not many would have with his strength.
