9 | Erling Haaland - 2024/25

said earlier when we did try and won it with false 9 it was due to our pressing and others all chipping in. still it was one of the lowest goal tally in the league in Pep-era as I recall. we aint press like that anymore, and others aint chipping in with goals. Sterling, Jesus, Mahrez did deliver goals, Gundo was also on two digit.... ask Grealish to do that or Doku or Savinho.
Savinho in time maybe able to be a regular scorer in the form of Mahrez, but not just yet.

our stronger pressing also meant much more situations to find ourselves winning the ball high up and straightaway a chance against an unorganized defence lacking numbers and two flat banks of 5.

we dont press well these days, even slow down some half counter chances and then we often need to break down the Chinese Big Wall with Akanji, Dias passing about 35 metres from the goal.

We press the difference now is there are mangers who coach passing out form the back and the players are good at it! If you watch the Southampton game we pressed but they were to good at passing it out!
 
He's a bit fragile for a big fella. In games like today the action often just passes him by. Criminal that we have only the diminutive Oscar Bobb who is so far untested week in week out as back up or support.
The more I think about not getting cover for big erl things he more I’m astounded how one of the best teans in the world has allowed his to happen and now we have to hope that Haaland stays fit for the whole campaign and keeps his scoring record going . If this was Liverpool or Utd we’d be laughing our socks of saying what a fucking clusterfuck this is .
 
What’s the plan if this guy gets injured for a period of time, put Foden up top? Ah I have too laugh…
The plan is to go to a council field this morning and find someone who is still pissed up and throwing up on the sidelines and get them a shirt for next week .
 
Head down, waving his arms about, smirking after missing chances and constantly walking about when we’re attacking.

He needs to make things fucking happen if those around him aren’t putting them on a plate.

Or at least put a shift in rather than sulking his way through a match like he keeps doing.

The smirking riles me ...
 
I will say it again and I don't give a fuck if it upsets people here, if he is never pressing and never linking up play he better take his chances and not only is he not doing that at the moment he is wasting chance after chance and even penalties now, he can't complain about having no service because he is, he better fucking get back to form because we can't afford to play him if he's going to piss chances like this.
