9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

[OB1]

Ha, not an assist then…! But yeah, did well in the build up, for sure.

What’s called an extended assist.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Don't think there were any clear cut chances for him tonight. There wasn't much space and they defended well for the most part. On top of that he obviously isn't razor sharp at the moment, but arsenal will give him space, and maybe a big game is exactly what he needs...

 

[OB1]

He’s not getting great quality chances at the moment.

He’s not getting great quality chances at the moment.

He’s feeding on scraps at the moment and we all
expect miracles. The team needs to be better for him and he needs to start taking the chances we do create. The foden cross today was really one he should be finishing but then that’s pretty much it for the whole game. If we don’t start creating a bit more for him, then he isn’t going to influence games.

 

[Fordyboy46]

He's getting annoyed with himself at present, it's just not happening for him. Hopefully he takes it out of Arsenal on Sunday if he starts

 

[Withnail]

His radar is a bit off at the moment, but I'm not unduly worried he will soon be scoring goals for fun again soon.

 

[DMA's]

Actually think he is really suffering with a lack of confidence at the moment. Think pep is trying to play him back into form

 

[ninjamonkey]

More than played his part despite not scoring. He occupies so many defenders and makes space for others. That alone makes him invaluable. Foden gets the space for the first goal because they're focused on haaland who drags them away from the space. Third goal his hold up and lay off creates the break. I'd take that contribution every game despite not scoring.

We’ve been creating absolutely shitloads of chances for him in every game up to Wolves. Tonight he had chances he should’ve done better with but admittedly not the absolute sitters he’d been getting.

yeah the Sheff utd game is the one that sticks in my head where he missed a few. Wolves and then really tonight we have really struggled to get him involved and as someone else said, I think his confidence is struggling. Needs a hat trick against Arsenal and he’ll be back to normal.
