We're not as creative as last season, but Haaland also looks worse. He's more wasteful than ever. His first touch and ball striking seems weaker. There's no fire, no agression. This is a perfect moment for him to reinvent his game a bit. It's not like he's a 30 yo who can't improve anymore.
His ball striking is terrible at the moment. he scuffs loads. Yes hes missing kev, but we have created a shit load for him outside of wolves and arsenal ans hes missed a lot. He is way off right now but hell click and hat tricks will resume.
 
He has only scored in 6 of his last 20 competitive fixtures for the club. I know he sets ridiculous standards, but we cannot pretend that this isn’t a worry. In that time, the only teams he’s scored against have been Forest, West Ham, Fulham, Sheffield Utd, Burnley and Everton. Let’s be real, he’s in absolutely shocking form considering he’s the best striker in the world and likely to finish 2nd in the ballon d’or.

14 blanks in his last 20 games.

It’s not solely the reduction in creativity either as he’s had a fuck tonne of big chances missed in these games.

That's quite worrying.

Maybe it's like Aguero's second season.

If rumors are correct, Kun was crying he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn that season but he went on to have a decade with us and we loved every bit of it!

Hopefully Erling will too!

Yeah, people talk about KDB and lack of creativity, but the problem runs deeper than that. I wonder if there is something going on with him personally (or even health-wise) that we don't know about.
 
Pep needs to sort this out -he's been handed a generational talent and turned him into Wilfried Bony.

Why blame this on Pep? The last two games, absolutely - we've not created enough. But Haaland's conversion rate has tanked this season. He's already missed 15 big chances this season, he's been extremely profligate.
