9 | Erling Haaland - 2024/25

Feel sorry for him because the way we played second half. Passing without crossing the ball for him.
I was hoping we'd get more crosses in to him in the second half.

I don't understand why Doku and Savinho didn't swap wings, attack their fullbacks, get to the byline and put in crosses using their natural foot.
 
Barely involved through no fault of his own, brilliant every time he was involved though. Not seen anything back yet but has he been given the credit he deserves for his movement for the goal? He wanted that ball in a lot quicker, he was expecting it quicker but somehow held his run long enough to stay onside when the ball did come, it was truly sensational awareness and movement.

He looked bang up for it, seemed to bully both their centre backs, it's a crime that we didn't give him anything at all to attack second half, give him half a dozen balls in to attack and he's going to win his fair share and produce at least 1 threatening chance. We gave him fuck all.
Definitely looks a lot fitter and stronger than last year, an absolute beast.
 
i honestly don’t what to say to those who think he coulda/shoulda done anything differently. It’s like some are watching a game with no idea what the instructions are.
We knew from the 46th minute that they were just going to dig in and hope for the best.
We obviously made the choice to go at them from KO and up until the 18 yard box looked dangerous. Then we reverted to type and made the game predictable.
That’s not on Erling.
 
I've just had a glance at the BBC website to see if they have a spot for Haaland's 100th goal. They do, but I also noticed two other things - Shearer seems happy with the Arse's 'mentality and tactics' and how pleased Our Tater would be. I haven't read it but it seems he isn't gonna mention the shithousery that got 'em a point. But the Beeb has a slot for "Haaland's 'housery'! They ought to be on the London Palladium stage when it's comedians night!
