Pep saying Haaland asked to come off

Must be from cramp in his toes from standing around and not moving.

Kidding of course but it can't have been from exhaustion as he hardly ran all game.

Don't think he's fully recovered from his foot injury.

Wished he could have gutted it out to score a penalty at least.
 
teams will not allow us those spaces that is probably where Haaland could be used to best of his skills.while he kind of struggles with other areas like holding onto the ball with his back to goal, or come deep for the ball, mmake a turn and run or let another player make a run with a good pass (he actually kind of did this with Grealish today, but quite a rare thing) or pressing in any serious way especially alongside KDB ho has no legs to press anymore.

honestly with the buyout clause this was never supposed to be a long term deal. still think it wont be, we have him for 3-4 seasons and get some decent fee for him. is he one of those that stick around for 10 years? dont think so.

albeit apart from Real he has nowhere to go really. and they already have Vinicius, Bellingham, Mbappe. so maybe the stars wont align for him to move to Real just yet.

he had such a wonderful debut season that goal wise a very great season still feels a bit flat from him, expectations are crazy with him. but yes lot of room to improve in various areas of his game, pressing, heading, holding up the ball, bringing others in play. he should give much more problem to defenders than he does currently.
 
The way he created space by standing in the box as a striker was amazing. You can’t teach that kind of stuff, just pure instinct!
 
He's so good. He's completely underutilized. We never play through balls to him anymore. We slow the pace down that he's constantly surrounded by 2 central defenders. I know it's a joke, but he'll leave us because of this and whether we can replace him or not I have no idea.
So much space for those through balls isn’t there
 
He’s in bad form but he’s still the best striker in the world. Let’s not forget the injuries and current fatigue in the squad. Hopefully we’ll have a strong finish to the season and address the issues in summer.

Yes he’s been fluffing easy chances when it’s been frustrating, but he’s not been getting anywhere near the level of service he needs. Trust it’ll be addressed and we’ll be stronger for it.
 
Jesus christ, lost a game have we?

Serious question for those who think our Erling is a Stat-padder, 'shit', or just a 'poor mans Troy Deeney'.

If the club were to sell him this summer, and you were asked to set the price, what do you think hes worth? In other words, what offer would you accept for him?

£20m?, £30m?
Would you be happy to see him sign for, say, Liverpool ? Surely youd see it as our stitching them up by offloading him, yeah?
Oh, and who would you sign to replace him?
Did he have another good game Alfie? Or have you just watched him have his first bad one?

He himself can't be fatigued as he hardly runs or has the ball.

He seemingly can only be found by KDB and if he has an off game, which is more frequent, then Haaland can't score.
 
I am sorryvl

as I said a big problem. Nowhere else he can go bar PSG.
