zero effort yesterday, which was criminal in a game like that, never busted a gut to get on the end of things or follow up on their keeper, and half arsed pressing - should have been hooked at HT for Alvarez who demontrated exactly what was required when he came on. I'm not one to criticise our players, but that was a shocking performance in a game of that magnitude.

He’s obviously a phenomenal talent but the way he flat track bullies lower league sides and then disappears in big games is definitely a trend that merits concern.

His pure stats mask this as he’ll go missing for weeks then bang 5 in against Burnley or some other dross. He’s not consistent enough.

It's Van Nistelrooy at United all over again.

Despite him scoring an absolute bucketload, it was arguably their worst team under Ferguson in the PL era.

Now, I am not saying we have our worst team, far from it, we just won a 4 peat and treble last year and Haaland played a key role in all of that success.

However, I think had we had prime Aguero in this team we would be hoovering up quads every season, and this is despite Aguero scoring less than Erling per season.

Haaland will always score goals, but until he starts turning up in the big moments, like Aguero did, the conversation of him being a bit of a flat track bully will always be there.

Getting bullied by Martinez was a bigger concern yesterday, FFS he makes Tattoo look a giant!

Two vs Spurs in what was the title decider
 
Behave, he made Haaland look a proper muppet and for a player that has hardly played for the last 6 months he had an easy game.
Nope the ref made his job a damn sight easier. Knew he could get away with a lot despite the height difference.
 
it starts be be laughable how easily he is pushed, pulled, made disappeared by defenders a head shorter than him. he needs to be an aggressive tall striker who hurts defenders, get the elbow in when you are pulled down, when you jump and being pushed in the air make sure to fall on the defender where it leaves him needing the doctor etc.
much more darks arts needed imo here.
lot of times he feels too nice on the pitch, its like he doesnt have the physical power what people would think he has sometimes.
