9 | Erling Haaland - 2024/25

He isn't moving in the box very well at all. It's ridiculous when his scoring record is so good but in this system where it's intricate play from out wide he just stands still if the ball doesn't come to his feet. Can't/shouldn't get away with it tbh.

Really good assist tonight though at least!

Honestly pretty good. Great forward play for the Doku goal and Josko through ball. With Doku on the pitch, he needs to hit the near post harder when Doku beats his man.
 
He’s a proper soft shite for a big man. Needs to start pulling folks about and stop with the nice guy crap. I’m convinced there’s a player in there…….

There was a couple of times tonight where it looks like it’s on a plate if he makes the run. I would cut him some slack because Doku doesn’t always get the ball in. It can’t be easy for a striker to read what Doku is going to do.

Can't understand why he didn't adapt to Doku's playing style, Aguero would score many goals from him

Yeah, I agree. Doku isn't a timing player. With all the jukes, feints and shimmys, he'll beat his man when he beats his man. Something like this can only improve with more time together on the pitch. However, there is opportunity there. I'm sure the video analysts and the analytic dept at the club will point this out. Something to watch out for, I guess.

Probably just takes time to develop the on-field chemistry/synergy. Doku is unpredictable so not the easiest job adapting when there is limited tendency data. Hopefully should improve with more on pitch time together.
 
I liked his build up play tonight, great pass for Gvardiol in the first half, deservedly got an assist in the second half, not arsed that he doesn't score if he contributes like this.
