9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

[DMA's]

So easy to defend against that we blitzed Bayern Munich, blew Real Madrid to pieces, and crushed Arsenal on our way to winning the treble literally four months ago.

He'll come good again.

Teams adapt and learn. We will see if we are still as effective later on in the season.

id love to see him score a goal out of nothing like aguero did numerous times. Don’t think haaland has scored one outside the box yet for us!

This was always my issue with haaland. Was a big advocate of Kane over haaland as I believe haaland is far more limited in his all round play than Kane. It has made us a lot easier to defend against imo. Obviously haaland is a world class striker just think he would suit a counter attacking side more than a highly technical side like us.

I said this before we signed Haaland and rightfully had it shoved back into my face but in games like tonight(and quite a few this season), I think I'm proven not completely wrong in my thoughts about him.

Get wingers who can cross the ball or get to the byline and pull back to him, his whole body language at the moment he seems pissed off, we can’t just rely on KDB, he’s got two seasons max left in him.

I was the same mate I get haaland is a world star profile wise but when I watched him at a Dortmund I saw these same flaws. He isn’t as good as Kane yet as a complete striker imo

Not sure what people expected him to do. Absolutely zero service and we seemed incredibly reluctant to use him as an outball even when we needed it and he's shown he can do it. Didnt do anything because we didnt give him anything to do.

Only comment on haaland tonight is he needs to change his boots

Not sure what people expected him to do.

Create something for himself for a change, perhaps? Or are we asking too much from this supposedly elite player?

 

[madloaf]

He's world class and when he's lays the ball off and we have runners it's more exciting than anything else we do but makes nowhere nearly as many runs and I wonder if it's because he knows the ball isn't coming even if he does.

Absolutely Terrible again

Kane ? good that decision was never made else for sure treble would not have happened and we may have had a much better opponent. Spuds doing so well without him says everything.
