9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

[Sky Blue]

Flat track bully. Went missing in the treble run in. Madrid ain’t touching him, so he’s here for a while. Not world class, just very good. Technically doesn’t suit a Pep team. Kane was a better fit and Pep knew it.

Well done on the two clowns liking this obvious wum.

No fucking treble it we'd signed that jinx Harry fucking Kane. Probably fuck all in fact.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

He is great goal scorer but struggles against quality opposition .Mbappe is country mile ahead of him

 

[SiMCFC]

Fitness, I think he is way off and at the end of the season we may well discover how bad this injury was.

Shouldn't be on the pitch then surely?

 

[SiMCFC]

This constant talk of how many touches he has/dropping off to get involved is boring. We all saw the type of striker that he was before he joined City. Even last season we saw what his game is like, that’s not going to change. Play to his strengths. Comparing him to Sergio as well two completely different players.

Last year every little half chance he threw himself at, how many times did he score with his studs etc? He just hasn't done it this season for whatever reason.

We are short of bodies, I think a few are playing because they have to.

 

[Ashleymcduff]

If he isn’t 100% for shouldn’t play .

Rather go back to false 9.

Hasn’t won the treble has he?

 

[SiMCFC]

We have the best Manager in the World, even I can think of a few formations and lineups that don't involve injured players so surely he can... unless the rumours of a must play when fit clause are true?

These crosses will never materialise when we have Gvardiol, Akanji & Walker as our wide players. We need fucking wingers who can cross

I get that although a defender should still be able to put a decent ball in. Besides Bernardo had upteen opportunities to cross yesterday and held onto the ball instead. Can't recall him putting a cross in it's that infrequent. I'm sure Phil is capable of putting a decent ball in too.

I genuinely believe they've been told not to and retain possession instead. Only player that hits it first time when running onto it is KDB. Hitting an early cross when a defence is not fully organised is far more dangerous than stroking it around a packed 18 yard box. Either they're not intelligent enough to realise this (which I highly doubt), they've been told not to and retain the ball or they don't back themselves and are terrified of giving the ball away. As I say I think they've been instructed not to.

He's a match winner even at half pace, same also applies to KDB, they only need that one tiny error or bit of space to change a game.

Although sadly KDB seems to be losing that ability.
