9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

Shouldn’t be anywhere near the starting 11 when are people gonna admit he’s been shite all season

Big baby who lets himself get bullied .

You’re a unit ffs.

Should strike fear into the opposition

 

[city warrior]

Miles, absolutely miles off where he was last season.

Is he even fit? He seems to have stopped making runs off the ball and he’s very static throughout the game.

This is the thing. People say he doesn't have service, but whenever we cross the ball Haaland hides in the background. He barely attacks the ball anymore.

Not to mention he is the best defender when the ball goes to his head.

More interested in having a chat with Gabriel and Jesus than winning the game today

 

[Delphinho]

Not half the player he was last season

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

I can't believe he didn't score from the 5 crosses and zero through balls we played all game, he is so shit.

Yes he was marked out of the game but that's the problem, whenever that happens we're playing with 10 men, he rarely comes short and on every cross he seems to hide in the back, he never makes a run to the near post run to attack the ball, it's too easy for the defenders at the moment.

This is the problem, when he's well marked he doesn't move and make runs into the channels, even if it's to free space

 

[TrentGrisham]

But, but... Everyone told me I was a rag for saying he was not a good fit for us. YES, we won the treble with him last year, but I maintain that the teams in the season before were stronger.

He worked far harder today than he had in previous games, but facing teams with 11 behind the ball, as 99% of the teams we face do, is always going to be tough sledding for him.

Yes he's always waiting for the ball in behind, he needs to vary his runs.
