Kovacic, settling in his role, confident driving forward sort of Moses parting the red sea stuff. Really helps open the game up for us. Haaland will definitely benefit as it makes the opposition defenders come out to engage - they let Kov play a simple one two on the edge of their box - g=creates space for all and even when KDB and Foden the defenders are in the mindset to stop the runner - gives Haaland the space most CF's get. Also, he looks fitter and more determined. Fair play to him. He even scored a decent header
Not necessarily criticism just observations really. I have been a massive fan of Haaland's positive attitude, always strikes me as pretty unique as he seems to be smiling and positive even when having a bad game. I still don't think we play better as a team with big Erling in, it stifles our fluidity. Against a team like Wolves who will probably coast the last few games its a different kettle of fish. Give him any room and Haaland is amazing, that finish and even his rare good header - amazing. Problem for me is when he is playing against a committed and decent defense like Arsenal's and Liverpool's he wants to pit his game against the centre halves. For me he stays too close to them, wants to win a physical battle = pointless and ruins it for the team. I think if he dropped deeper Kane 'esque he would help the team create more problems. He can pass it well as well, has laid off some decent balls (touch needs work of course)
wow
Crazy. Not so much Ronaldo as he played wide for the first few years and didn’t even score many to start with. Unbelievable to beat Messi by so much though
Got to be careful we dont go OTT as a fan base if Haaland bags a lot v sorry spuds...WestHam as Moyes leaves a mid table team or a disfunctional utd. Need him to be fit, on it and tactically astute v Arsenal away, Liverpool and Newcastle away next year
