9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

[OB1]

No, thought he brought up a lot of good points.

But didn’t take a holistic view ;-)

 

[meeesh]

I can’t help thinking it would have been better him scoring around 30 last season and the 50 plus like he got, for this season,however when I think of that I question would we have won the treble, but we are on for it again so nothings changed I suppose, but something isn’t quite ticking like it was, but there are a few reasons (mainly that injury) as to why it’s like it is this season, either way I’ve full confidence in him leading us to glory in all 3……as long as KDB and himself stay injury free now

If you don't give him the ball, there's not much else he can do about it. You can see he's frustrated with himself, he wants to be seen contributing, he knows he's had a poorer second season than his first and he's clearly angry about it. Yet we're still in the hunt for a second, back-to-back treble.

I don't feel certain players understand or utilise Haaland's strengths yet. The number of times I see Erling pleading for a through ball, only to be ignored is enough to infuriate anyone. Especially when people start doubting him and his abilities as if he's 'lost it'.

We've had a number of departures and new arrivals last summer, and Haaland arrived at this transition where he was new to the team and established players had to quickly learn his style, but they could because they were cemented in the team so could adapt. Now they've gone, the replacements are also having to learn City's style of play and accomodate Haaland. It'll just take some more time, but I don't blame the Big Man or anyone for that matter. It's just how things go.

I’ll refrain from the whole Haaland makes us weaker shite that some are trying their hardest to put forward.
I’ll leave it to the player himself to show you up instead.

Its very hard to judge.
We lost games that we should have won.
Pep not playing either Fernandinho or Rodri, DeBruyne coming off early in matches, inconsistent left backs all contributed.
Haaland is superb but is only one of a group of players that have came in over last 2 seasons
Its crazy to think that the likes of Cancelo, Mahrez, Gundogan, Zinchenko, Sterling, Laporte, Jesus have all left in the last 18 months yet we are still involved in 3 top competitions.
It is at this stage a little luck come in and this is where I agree with the poster.
We played well against Madrid over the 4 legs of the last 2 champions league semi finals.
Could have beaten Chelsea in a final where we played as well ,if not better, than in the final we won last season.
Haaland is a vital cog in the team and will thrive if he gets the right supply.

You need to concentrate on what you write instead of abusing others.we all have opinions so suck it up theres a good chap.

Suck it up? Haha! Keep writing shit and I’ll keep calling it out.
Nelly has me on ignore because his brain has melted in the florida sunshine.
You just come across as a little simple.

Limped out of training for Norway. Maybe we can get on the phone and insist he comes back to Manchester!

 

[Jezza11]

He set the bar high last season, injuries and a family bereavement may well of affected his performances so far but he is human after all.

That being said, he’s still top goal scorer in the league and UCL.

Confident we will see the best Erling as we enter the business end of the season.

We’re lucky to have him, end of.

HAALAND HAALAND HAALAND !!

Not a pep player. Pretty obvious.
