9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

Time to bring him on from the bench. Useless right now

That would not be bad idea, but Alvarez is in worst form than him.

 

[Bluewonder]

Getting a lot of stick but we had virtually nothing when he came off.

Even when he isn't on form he occupies 2 defenders.

 

[Chak19]

He didn't play well, the problem is we looked worse without him.

We stopped playing when he came off and Alvarez looked fucking awful.

It’s a strange game for Guardiola to take him off when there’s been ample opportunity to play Alvarez in recent weeks and give Haaland a bit of a reminder of how he needs to up his level.

 

[Mcfc1.9.8.0]

Another very poor game. Went off injured may be a blessing in disguise

Alvarez, I'm afraid, isn't good enough for this level.

 

[01cravend]

He was taken off because he spent 180 minutes over 2 legs doing and contributing next to fuck all, which has been the story vs every good team he's played this season. Our play didn't slow down because he was subbed, it slowed down because it always does in extra time, players are knackered.

Yes , we wasted the 2nd half of extra time , there was no shape left with Rodri drifting to the wings

 

[RayCTID]

He isn't world class (yet) but still is a lot better finisher than what we currently have got. However we could with a few in the bigger games. Again still par with Mbappe for me.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Certainly in poor form at the moment and for a team of our level we need a better option from the bench.
