Wrong, they only put 1 man on Haaland, RudigerHaaland was nowhere near useless though. Look at the goals Foden & Gvardiol scored.
Real Madrid put 2-3 men on Haaland - and the price was that the space for those shots opened up.
You are one of the only sane ones on this thread, lol. I'm not sure why it's so difficult for people to see what the problem is. Like you said, we just need another dimension to our play sometimes, not a complete new way of playing. People think Haaland is the problem, but to lean on an old city phrase, if you don't feed the GOAT, he can't scoreExactly
That above is basically the crux of the problem. Haaland has done what you have stated and it plays out with no one playing the pass and going sideways or backwards and a frustrated haaland up front
This summer I am hoping we get the players in especially those that will look to play that forward pass quicker to him. I am not saying we need to play that way every time we go forward, we can still control possession and build up play, but when the opportunity presents itself we need player(s) who will take that pass on to him.
Thus will then also keep the opposition on their toes. There is nothing we can do about the other teams playing that low block. But we do get loads of opportunities to break but we then decide to hold the play up and that allows a low block to get back in situ.
I think Paqueta will be one of those signings, a few more will be needed to refresh our 1st team
Hmmmm, you seem to have some vendetta here, what REALLY is your issue with Erling and City in general? Looking back on your limited previous posts, all you seem to do is lay into players, it's like you're not even a city fanWrong, they only put 1 man on Haaland, Rudiger
Hi Harry, how is life in Munich?Wrong, they only put 1 man on Haaland, Rudiger
I agree. The only players that even attempt that pass are Ortega/Eddie and Kevin. For all his brilliance it’s not in Phil’s locker yet.Exactly

I support City not Haaland FC mate, when a player is not performing to standard, I'll voice it out.Hmmmm, you seem to have some vendetta here, what REALLY is your issue with Erling and City in general?

Not quite right, I'm not a player fan boy, but I appreciate that players need support from the wider team and management to flourish, I don't believe Haaland is getting that currently. We need to adapt to his strengths in certain phases of play, you just seem intent on being blinkered on him in terms of blame. The "in general" comment was in reference to your historic general moaning in threads, surely as a blue you must be happy with something or someone considering our success as a teamI support City not Haaland FC mate, when a player is not performing to standard, I'll voice it out.
Nice try in adding the "and City in general" there to make it seem like I have an agenda against City.
No player is beyond criticism has been my point from the start, some of you here are more "player fanboys" than supporters of the club.
Mate, I'm extremely proud of the boys, I didn't even expect us to be where we are this season following our success last season.Not quite right, I'm not a player fan boy, but I appreciate that players need support from the wider team and management to flourish, I don't believe Haaland is getting that currently.
