9 | Erling Haaland - 2024/25

[ChicagoBlue]

Too funny to see people giving him ANY business today!

I think we tried to play him in twice today and both times he fought for it even though he had no chance.

Strikers feed on the ball. He made run after run…no ball. No crosses for him. No through balls. NOTHING!!

Dropped in a few times and made plays, but without wingers making the run into the space he’s left, we do nothing with it.

Sure, he didn’t score, but that would have been a miracle today, given the service.

He gets a pass today.

I am really not sure what he was supposed to do today.

Run front post. Start his runs on corners from the penalty spot. Kick the fuck out of someone.

 

[DMA's]

He told our keeper what side to dive. And he almost got the penalty.

I have no issue with him smiling at being able to read Salah's mind.

No idea how you managed to get all that from watching on tv mate!

 

[blue moony]

Anyone smell anything?

Hes not totally wrong

Constantly smirking and smiling when he misses chances etc..

Gets bullied by most half decent CBS..

 

[ID70]

Has he moved from his spot yet?

 

[clarion]

Do you ever not abuse our players?

Yes. When they respect the shirt they’re wearing.
Erling was seen more smiling and chatting than doing something with the ball.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Rarely turns up for the big matches if we are honest. I’d drop him for forest

Time for Alvare…. oh yeah

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

The only player in the entire starting XI who has a league goal this season. We should be kissing his fucking arse as we would be bottom half without his goals.

We could have prime messi whipping in balls into the box and it wouldn't matter. The greatest winger of all time couldn't possibly find this lad in the box, he is INVISIBLE. It's impossible to get the ball to him. He purposely hides behind defenders, he makes zero movement, and when a cross does comes in he does fuck all to challenge for it. bemoan the deliveries all you want, I feel bad for our wingers, they got nothing to deliver to. This lad actively makes it impossible for them to find him. It doesn't matter if you're 7 feet tall if you are always nowhere to be found when it's time to put a ball in. I have never seen someone with such a dominant stature impose themselves less in the box.

Put yourself in the shoes of doku or nunes or savio, how on earth are you meant to get the ball to him when all he does is stand in the far post behind 2 defenders, making zero effort to free himself, doesn't try to pull infront of them, and even when the ball does come in his direction, barely puts in any effort to duel for it. What could you possibly do? Where could you possibly aim for? genuinely seems like a huge frustration to play towards as a winger.

No **** in our team can cross the ball apart from Kev. So how about trying to find him with a normal pass, so he can do something with it.

Slow floated crosses to the first man or fucking 18ft in the air to the back post, what can Haaland do with that?
