9 | Erling Haaland - 2024/25

[Betterdeedthan red]

Well done to the guy today worked his ass off.

That's all you can ask for some days

So much better today - won loads of duels and played well from deeper positions. Gives the ball away too much but that’s something we expect.

Apart from the lovely goal I thought he was really poor. We moan that he’s usually taken up by two defenders but today he had loads of space with the ball, but did nothing with it. Hopefully his goal will give him some confidence to get back into a good form.

Why cant he pass the ball accurately over 2m?

Im glad he scored but he has gotta make those simple passes.

Well as the primary striker he is expecting the ball to him, not looking to offload it. He isn't the world's greatest footballer but he is in with a chance to be the greatest striker in world football .

Thats an awful excuse.

Im expecting that he can do basic passing.

Dont need to be the worlds greatest player.

Have been critical of him lately. He was very good today, got a goal & was aggressive. Long may it continue!

Haaland played well but was against probably the worst cb pairing in the league. I dont take for granted his availability though, he certainly hasn’t hid during this tough spell

Much more at it today

Like Dortmund Erling after Mcatee came on and he got his goal. Dropping deep and driving forward with the ball.. passing wasnt great but it was good to see. Could use more of that so he's not so isolated as he often has been recently.

His interview on Sky was funny as fuck.

Had a few nice moments to be fair but yes he is very wasteful on the ball. It was just nice to see him way more involved in the game and aggressive.

I actually think having less of the possession suits him but I cant see pep mentally being able to adapt to that.
