9 | Erling Haaland - 2024/25

[Bazzmand Show]

Best game in a footballing sense. Kame like passing ability.

His passing has always been extremely good imo.

His involvement in the build up was nice to see.

However, his movement, or more lack of it, when the ball is coming into the box is shocking at the minute. Whether he has just given up on getting a good delivery, I don't know. Or whether it is an instruction to stay at the back post? He just isn't attacking the near post at all and there was a number of times last night that the ball was played into a position he would have been in in his first season here.

Still looked half arsed to me

anytime i search for him in the box he is just kind of lazily hidden behind a defender yes

Doku put 2 great balls along the 6 yard line and where was Haaland? In his defence though, he often makes a run and the ball doesnt come and then it looks like hes out of position when it does come in but in reality he had made a run.

Second defence, it must be a nightmare trying to figure out when Doku is going to release it :)

I think he's getting tired of running for nothing. He set up Doku nicely and watch his run after the pass. Whole team is coming back after being badly out of sorts. He'll be back in the goals soon enough.

It’s worth watching Haaland after he releases Doku for the final goal. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him move as quickly in a while. Murillo’s lungs must have been burning after that.

Weirdly for a master poacher, his movement in the box seems to have gone to shit - certainly wasn't like this at the start of the season. All round his game was much improved last night though. I think he'll enjoy being involved more if we can bring him into play a bit more

That's extremely overstated.

Good, maybe. Extremely good? That Sir, is a bridge too far.

Nah, I think he often underestimates Doku's capacity to get out of a tight spot or jam. He needs to make the run every time. Coz Doku does run himself into a cul-de-sac often. But on some occasions finds a way out of it.

Haaland has to act like every time is the time he'll do it.
