9 | Erling Haaland - 2024/25

[eastmanc]

I was thinking more Phil Neal’s tenure … but my memory has kind of combined the Coppell, Hartford, Clarke & Neal helms into one big bad one …. which is harsh on Asa as I loved him as a player for us.

Asa was only a caretaker and was only at the helm for about 5 minutes. So I think his legacy is OK.

What more do you fucking want

 

[bluedreamer]

What more do you fucking want

Julian Alvarez

 

[Delphinho]

We play with 10 men until the moment he scores a goal. If he doesn’t score we play with 1 man less

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Pep never dropping him, let alone subbing for him, is just sad at this point.

 

[AlexGrimaldo]

Doenst we have in girls team someone better?

 

[thyer64]

No backup for him has made him complacent.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

Need to talk about this man now
Performances and effort levels have been awful for weeks now
Movement shite

Spends more time joking with opposition players

In his defence he has two pretty erratic wingers either side of him, but he’s contributing nothing

 

[Don Karleone]

 

[Nas_City]

He missed more clear-cut goalscoring opportunities (11) than any other Premier League player since the Arsenal match. He isn't getting the service he had the last 2 season, but been either wasteful with chance or invisible.

 

[Pedestrian]

The biggest disappointment for me during this slump. Soft as shite and quickly becoming an Instagram footballer. Dropping him would be a good start.

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

Pep never dropping him, let alone subbing for him, is just sad at this point.

Who is he meant to play upfront instead of him? We should’ve replaced Alvarez

 

[Goldust]

Can’t work out who is more lightweight in the challenge him or Phil, both on 300k plus as well. Absolutely stinks.

 

[Mancityus]

Right now playing him is like playing with ten, even the opposition is happy he is around as he hardly touches the ball and misses open chances.

Yes it is a close race between Halland and Foden who is more harmful for us.

 

[Feed the Elk]

He needs a few games off

 

[Beanhead]

Right now playing him is like playing with ten, even the opposition is happy he is around as he hardly touches the ball and misses open chances.

Nine if you include Rico.

It doesn't have to be a like for like switch. Play with a false 9 like we used to.

 

[Mancityus]

How many of those were penalties ?

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

It doesn't have to be a like for like switch. Play with a false 9 like we used to.

And who’s going to score? Our second highest goalscorer this season is Gvardiol
