9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

[Mcfc1.9.8.0]

Should have been hooked instead of alverez

Need to move the ball quicker to get him involved.

His movement gets him into space but by the team we’ve fannied about with it and playing 2 extra passes than what’s needed and by that point he’s doubled up on in the middle.

The bloke thrives off space and quick transitions which is the exact opposite of the control meta we’ve got going on.

No service today again, so can’t really lay the blame at his door. We do miss a striker like Sergio who can create a goal for himself. We need to get the service going again for Erling.

My pet hate is when he comes so deep it allows the opposition defence to get further forward knowing that in a straight race they will be able to get back with time to spare.
If he stays around the centre spot at least one possible two will have to stay with him.
He's having a lean time at the moment but it'll pass.

Some of the comments. lol.

I look forward to the same posters’ views when we sell him to Madrid. Selling the most sought after and potent striker in world football.

Clowns.

Haaland helped us win the Treble. 52 fucking goals. He may have a month or two below his best. Hardly a big deal. He will be in top form when it really matters.

Received poor service today.

Not going to fault him for that whatsoever.

He can improve his game by dropping off the line and playing others in more.

Pressing can improve as well.

He seems to have given up making runs off the shoulder of last defender when there’s room In behind, probably because of complete lack of service. Arsenal were pushed right up today and we never looked once to put over top for him to run on to. He’s got all the weapons but we only want to use a couple of them. Very frustrating.

Why are people asking stuff from him that’s not his game? It’s on city and pep to use his strengths not try and shoe horn him into a different style. He battered those arsenal defenders last season with his power and pace and we utilised that by playing direct. Today everything was slow paced , ball too feet. Now that’s fine but don’t get annoyed at Haaland for not getting involved when it’s not his game.

Yeah tend to agree he is what he. Quite limited as all round footballer but a physical beast and phenomenal goal scorer. Can’t see his game ever changing much.

A ball over the top would have been great to see.
