He wouldn't be a negative though if the players behind him had the balls to play him in like Kev does, that's when hes at his best. He's never going to be a striker with a silky first touch.

Looks more like Andy Carroll than Erling Haaland this season
Still top scorer.

Time and again he stood in the box with 5 defenders between him and Doku. He jumps like a lump of lard from a standing start. He never dropped off ,he never moved toward the ball or ran out to offer Doku something that didn't require a laser guided precision missile to find him . He was about as much use as a traffic cone.He wouldn't be a negative though if the players behind him had the balls to play him in like Kev does, that's when hes at his best.

Careful. Talking poorly about Haaland here is dangerous work.Time and again he stood in the box with 5 defenders between him and Doku. He jumps like a lump of lard from a standing start.

He's had bad games before but his lack of energy and effort today was very disappointing.Careful. Talking poorly about Haaland here is dangerous work.

Wtf. It's the defending that's costing us not HaalandHe's had bad games before but his lack of energy and effort today was very disappointing.
If Sterling had missed Haaland's first chance, he'd never hear the last of it, the world's best striker should put that away, every time, he even had time to trap itWtf. It's the defending that's costing us not Haaland

The defence has no midfield protection, save Rodri, so it becomes more cruelly exposed every time the front four fail to convert.Wtf. It's the defending that's costing us not Haaland

Not a great game, should have buried at least 1 in the first half. No excuses for that and he knows it as much as anybody but despite having a relatively poor game he's still getting an assist and he was regularly wide open begging for it up against relatively weak fullbacks playing out of position that can't defend particularly well and we still refused to play him in. Criminal not to be constantly feeding him in that scenario.
