9 | Erling Haaland - 2024/25

[Damanino]

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 .
