9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

I’m not even sure you know who Zlatan is at this point.

I really do think there is not much difference between Zlatan's technincal ability and Haalands.

Okay. We will have to agree to disagree here.

Disagree with that one mate. His first touch was superb. Didn’t have the pace Erling but if you took Erling’s pace away you’d be looking at a pretty average player technically.

So is Haaland's to be honest and there were huge doubts with Zlatan in the early days of his career and was very close in packing football in.

He is similar to one of his idol's Zlatan Ibrahimovic which as you described not a good allrounder but a great goalscorer.

Ibra.. His own biggest fan. He talked a good game, but his movement was 100 times better than Haaland's.

Still had to work on it and wasn't a complete natural.

So 12mths ago we was drooling about his goal scoring records which he broke easily, roll on 12mths and he’s won the golden boot again scored the 2 most important goals for us to achieve the 4th title and now he’s dog shite. Fickle fans raising there ugly heads again. He’s 22 ffs and will improve simple as, get off his back

For me, the main similarity between the two is their ability to acrobatically finish despite both being around 6 ft 5.

I’d say Zlatan was the superior footballer with Haaland being the better goalscorer.

I agree. Still very young and has a lot to improve on. He's missed some fucking easy chances this season, but I'm sure I heard a while back that it's a decent striker who gets in those positions in the first place.

Neither was Ronaldo. He's the result of hard work on and off the pitch.
