9 | Erling Haaland - 2024/25

Foden and Kovacic ain't fit either like half the squad.

Dropping Haaland is the least of our worries.

probably right. I’m just looking for something different. I cant believe pep is doing the same thing over and over.

My point is we have the best striker but he’s getting no service. Agree that’s not his fault but then at what point do you do something different? if he isn’t getting service whats the point playing him?

The something different that you do is you start supplying him, you dont remove the best player.

Who exactly is going to score us a goal if not Haaland?

Was a poor effort. Either side its in the net.

Did you not see the sprawling keeper at his feet as soon as he got on the end of it? The only way that was going in was by lifting he, it was just excellent goalkeeping.

All strikers miss chances. His goalscoring record is phenomenal. It's not his fault he's the only one in the team who can hit a cow's arse with a banjo.

Perhaps we should throw the net a little wider and ask why nobody else is capable of getting a few goals? And why we are in a position where we are reliant on one player for goals because that's not sustainable.

Looks in need of a rest…..

He gets 90 minutes rest twice a week.

Do people actually believe someone else in this team is going to get us goals if he's on the bench.

He's definitely done his part but I think our current situation means we need to change things. Genuinely would consider dropping him and putting an extra midfielder in the team.

Started the season like a house on fire but has been virtually anonymous since, bar a couple of games.

Think it's a mix of him being overplayed and also him reacting badly to being overplayed, like not running as much, barely contributing to the press or the build-up, not making the right moves when the ball is cut back to him.

For City this season he's played in 22 games and has scored in 11 of them. Not a bad record at all, but in previous seasons he'd contribute a couple of assists to make up the difference in games he draws a blank in.

In the 11 games he's not scored in this season, he's made one assist - and that was a pass to Doku 50 yards from goal.

Really needs to be supported by the club in January. Even if it means buying an extra midfielder so that Gundogan or De Bruyne can play false nine whenever Haaland's rested/injured, because he can't carry on like this.

 

[borassic]

Missed a sitter and the ball bounced off him far too much. He can’t escape criticism no matter how good he is. He needs to take more chances, period.

 

[wolviedinho]

Not doing enough by far.

Time he stepped up and started to make things happen.

 

[Keeper!]

When we don't dominate games it shows up his weaknesses, he is not a good footballer and his workrate/team play is poor.
