9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

[Paul1970]

If he has to depend on one player to score lots of goals then we are not in a good place .

 

[Fordyboy46]

Just take him out of your fantasy teams and he'll start banging them in again

 

[AshtonBlueMooner]

Form is temporary.
This boy is special beyond belief.
The goals will come again and a plenty.
Roll on Sunday.

But if he is missing chances then he is getting service

He’s getting as many chances as this time last season, he’s just not scoring them! Form is temporary. He’ll be back soon with a 10 in 6 games burst

Missing KDB , the most in case of Big Erl.
Kevin creates clear goal-scoring opportunities really well. Last night, besides the chance created by Foden, I can't blame Haaland for missing anything significant. The vast number of shooting opportunities Haaland receives are from difficult positions, with defenders on his back, or from quite challenging angles. He doesn't usually have as many clear-cut goal-scoring chances as he does when playing with KDB. I mean, last night, the only big miss was after Foden's cross; the rest didn't.

I hope the machine starts working in the next three games; it's time for someone to pay for the missed opportunities this season.

How about you prove your theory with facts?
If you seriously believe any City player has such nonsense in their contract, I hope you're a kid, because if not, you're simply stupid ;)

The theory is strongly supported with facts (one single exception aside, apparently -- and possibly there was a non-publicised niggle responsible for that). If it could be proven with facts at this point (only possible by seeing Haaland's contract), it wouldn't be a theory. But apparently you're too stupid to have understood my original post :)

He looks a bit bulkier than last season & not as quick. Needs a few sub appearances for a break & a kick up ass

Missing service from Kev as nobody else is passing to him quick enough

All the pressure is on him to score. Thankfully Alvarez hitting the net now.

Getting used to new players & vice versa

Not arsed tbh. Some here acting like he has scored zero so far. Sometimes finishing needs luck, and luck is not going his way at present.

He was crucial for our third goal though. Incredible first touch to set Alvarez's run up.

Some of the shit posted on here is embarrassing

Yeah decent touch from him and a cracking goal after great work from Alvarez. As pointed out on here though it’s very rare a teams ever leave us space like that. If they did we’d be banging in 5 most weeks on the counter.

I'm seeing the opposite, if anything he is smaller than last season.
Last season players couldn't handle him and they just bounced off him, this year he seems to be in more of a battle with centre halfs and unable to use his strength to out muscle them.
As others have said though form is temporary class is permanent, he will still bag a huge amount of goals this year

Some people need to give their heads a wobble, Haaland is top goal scorer in the Premier League. This is happening with the likes of De Bruyne and Mahrez not there who provided a hat full of assists last season.

 

[Kinkladze 1]

The guy is still getting over 5 chances a game. He’ll be back in the hat tricks before we know it.

The time to get a bit hot under the collar is if there weren't any chances! Mind, even if he never got another pass he's still putting the shits up a defence!

 

[eastmanc]

Haven’t changed my mind from this. He is way off it this season.

Still scored 8 in the league.

 

[Crooked_rain]

He'll be OK

He is still top scorer in the league, so it's not like he hasn't been scoring.

The frightening thing is that he may not be at his best and still top scorer in the league

He'll be back to his best, all strikers blow hot and cold, but his cold Is still better than most strikers hot...

 

[skillman]

What’s called an extended assist.

An assist’s assist. Merlin lived off them for years!

OK, point proven, you're a clown ;)
....my 11yr old talks more sense, thank god for the ignore option.

 

[kaz7]

I dont expect him to harri defenders and the keeper like jules does but please put in some effort to nick the ball and press the defenders , so many times sticking his foot out he could make chances for himself , come on man, effort

 

[dancity19]

Yeah, he has. But that doesn’t mean he’s playing well. It just means he’s still an unbelievable player. But there is no way he’s happy with his form.
