Gets pushed, grabbed, pulled and kicked every game. Needs more protection.

Gets fouled on almost every set piece delivered into the box.

I think his physicality sometimes works against him in situations like this. Because he can ragdoll defenders with ease at times, it's like ref's don't believe he's been fouled when it happens to him and think he's looking for it.

It's not simply a case of refs not wanting to give us pens, we get our fair share in other situations.

So true, the refs definitely doesn't treat him as an equal. He lost most of his duels just because refs ignored fouls on him.
 
Glad Rico played the ball through to him, he was trying and trying all game to get some space and receive the ball and time and time again was ignored or the ball wasn't good enough. Great finish and again, should be a lesson to our players - just slide him in and he'll do the rest! We don't need to keep going wide. If there's any space to slide a ball into, play it and Erling will score.

You could tell he wanted to score 4 or 5 last night and boost his record in the CL.

This graph is a reason as to why I think Rodri missing is not the biggest issue for City going forward.

It's the lack of goals from out other attacking players.

Against 90% of the teams in the Premier League we will be fine without Rodri, but against 90% of the teams in the league we cannot always rely on Haaland winning us games.
 
Rife rumours of him only signing a new deal if there’s a £100m release clause.

That would be low. Too low. And I can’t imagine we’d go for it. But then, if we don’t then we risk losing him for less as his deal rumbles on?

Obviously, a high chance it’s bollocks but there we are.

I’m hoping his saga turns out like Silva and Aguero in that he never actually leaves despite the constant rumours.

Another rumour is if he signs a 4 year deal in his first year into that deal the buyout would be very high then every year going down till his final year where it will be 100m
