9 | Erling Haaland - 2024/25

[ninjamonkey]

Second game in a row where he's not registered a shot. He must be fuming with the non-existent supply right now and rightly so. didn't get a single opportunity to even potentially get something to attack.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

He could break past a gentle jog to try and help out our perma-crocked midfield for a fucking start.

He literally dropped into our half on a few occasions and won the ball back as our actual midfield is incapable.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

He's certainly not the problem, but he's a luxury we can't afford to carry right now. The problem is Pep will never drop him.

 

[Blu1]

No point playing right now & if it was Aguero he would be dropped

Every team and their dogs knows that if they shut out Haaland, City is left with 10 men and will definitely struggle to score from elsewhere too. Yet Pep keeps repeating the same tactic and selecting the same out-of-form striker, getting the same results for months. Unbelievable!

He worked his bollocks off today. Did you not watch the match? He isn’t Aguero and he isn’t Tevez, he relies on service.
I’m getting even fatter these days because every time the goalie gives it out to Akanji or Walker and the snails pace football starts - I’m off to make a cheese toastier and I usually return just as Grealish or Bernardo are on the edge of the box and then passing backwards.

If he disrupts the whole style of play, then he is. That said another player didn't cost that much.

 

[bluedreamer]

For whatever reason, Haaland can’t make any impact or contribution.
We can’t change our style so time to go back to playing with 11 men.
Drop Haaland try Foden as false 9

 

[skillman]

Just a bit of a luxury at the minute. Not affecting games. But then nobody is.

He’s too good not to be, though. Put yourself about. Show a bit of frustration and channel it into being front foot and dominate your marker.

Don’t just stand still and let them dominate you. Again.

 

[madloaf]

A man who is very clearly not enjoying his football.
