9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

[Deleted member 77198]

Håland was like a baby giraffe yesterday.

The through ball to Foden early doors was bobbins, he had five clear goalscoring chances that he would usually slot away easily, there was a 1-2 with Doku that he leathered at him when he just needed a little touch and Doku had to try very hard to control it, there was a counter-attack on in the first half where he tried to lay it off for Álvarez and he was closer to passing it out for the West Ham throw-in than to where Álvarez needed it and slowed the attack right down, at one point he dribbled the ball into the Cat Kicker’s legs when there was 10 yards of space in behind that he could have slid the ball into and run onto a 1on1 with the keeper…

Just one of those games, yet he still scored!

Maybe one or two chances he should've done better, however have to give credit to Areola, he really didn't want to let him score.

There's no striker in the world that puts in every chances he gets. I've seen Salah smack the ball multiple times straight at the keeper during a 1v1. Aguero missed a simple tap-in against Chelsea. Some of our fans have unrealistic expectations. Haaland is already putting up every good numbers.

The speed of his second touch and then the shot was fucking lethal. Gave the defender no chance to block.

The two tap ins were the glaring errors. Apart from that he did ok...

As you say just one of those games, I wouldnt want to be Forrest next Sat. He will no doubt be on fire and stick everything away with ease.

He was laughing at himself after he scored.

A bit like the SheffUtd game. Although in that one he looked pissed off with himself, yesterday I think he also thought ‘it’s one of those days’.

I can see him being hungry for two hattricks next week!

Beast mode next Sat. For sure.

Bad match overall, but I want to point how much of a team player he is (and for a striker that says a lot) when he chose not to tap in Bernardo's 2nd goal.

This is why Haaland is a leader in the dressing room - proper team man.

Compare this to Ronaldo who would have been salivating at that chance.

I don’t think he’s been in great form for a while, it’s just that he’s so lethal that his version of average form is still pretty much a goal a game in a team that provides him this many chances.
