rumours about we may target a striker to take pressure off of Haaland. talking about making a big mistake in the recruitment ad trying to fix it once it cost us quite a lot. and it wasnt like something we couldnt have expected. on the contrary we were lucky Haaland was one of the few players that magically avoided injuries so far this season despite flogged for 90 mins all the time almost here and Norway too.
 
He was dropping deep more and doing link-up against Forest. I just don't understand why one game he's asked to do that, and not most games. I felt he always looks better when he's given more freedom to maneuver.
Totally agree.
More movement out wide and dropping deep drags defenders away from the box leaving space for others. As we saw v forest, goals for KDB, Doku and Silva.
 
Love to know what the genuine alternative is if this lad ever gets injured. False 9 is just wishful thinking, it worked before when we had goal scoring wingers and energy in midfield. We barely have enough midfielders to cover midfield.

Not on the wind up, BUT would you sell him for £150m or whatever and buy 2-3 Aguero/Alvarez types that suit our system? Now everything seems to have ground to a halt as we can't implement Plan A.
 
It is still a no in cashing in for me. The only questions are whether to alter our playing style to get the very best out of him (although 108 goals in 120 negates that a bit), what does he really need to improve in his game and whether we should consider Foden as cover for Haaland (although not on current form).

I do think prime kun is way better but that’s a tough one mate
 
I hope the big fella is in his oxygen chamber tonight eating raw red meat.

We need him tomorrow going to war on their back line and smashing them to pieces.
 
If we have to resr Haaland then bring Dzeko back lol.

Otherwise, we could just do foden false 9 and I dont see the problem.
 
Hot take

In the current system of Liverpool and Tottenham, Erling Haaland would score an insane number of goals due to their distinct verticality and directness when they shoot towards the goal, Kulusevski, Son or Salah would have an abnormal number of assists.
We simply play too slow and complicated
 
Best player in the world huh. 400k/ week or how much was it that he’s about to get?
