9 | Erling Haaland - 2024/25

He may as well not play at the moment. He’s offering nothing and in turn the rest of them are offering him nothing. He's been playing on his heels because he’s not expecting the ball to come in somewhere he can use it.

How can we have a lad in the team that has proven he can finish and slow our game down so much it nullifies his strengths? He does need to be more aggressive in the box. He doesn’t challenge, he doesn’t try to get in front of the defender. We know he can do and that’s the frustrating thing for me. I really don’t think this is a complicated one to fix.

Not overly impressed with him joking with Salad after their 2nd goal, but I’m not going to fall out of my pram over it.

I’ve said in this thread more than once, we either need to play to his strengths or not play him.
 
I think you’ve just made a scenario in your head tbh
Watch the sequence again. When they got a pen. Erling ran over to our akewper. Put his arm around him and whispered something.

Then keeper almost saves the pen.

Then the pen scorer walks over to Erling to say something like ' you told him where to go, didn't you?

Made sense to me and I understood him chuckling like 'almost.'

Nothing to it. The problem was Dias and Walker acting like Calamity Joe

Got nothing against you bud just don’t see it that way. Each to their own
 
That laughing and joking with opposition players in such an inept performance was slightly annoying today.

Poor movement and work rate all day, buts its ok to have a giggle with Van Dijk and Salah
