Our greatest goal scorer of all time also missed easy chances, some easier than those you’ve just highlighted. Remember the open goal miss from a yard out v Chelsea. It happens.If he’s the only player who’s going to score any goals for us (which is absolutely fucking ridiculous in itself!) he can’t miss chances like he has been doing.
For £26m a year and nobody else scoring, he needs to work on his 1on1s because he fluffed another last night:

He also skied a shot over the bar from thirteen yards out, centre of goal, under no pressure:

In other recent games; he fluffed a chance with the keeper 20 yards off his line and then missed a point blank chance that he hit with no finesse straight at the keeper at Newcastle, he had a penalty saved against Liverpool, he missed two near post free headers from corners against Bournemouth, missed a sitter at Villarreal, fluffed a 1on1 with the keeper at Villa and he missed two 1on1s with the keeper against Everton,
He has an incredible scoring record this season but he doesn’t half miss some sitters.
We’d probably be bottom half without him, but for £26m a year and nobody else scoring, he pretty much needs to put everything feasibly expectable to be scored, in the net.
He usually is. Wins more defensive set piece headers than any of our ‘defenders’ it seems.He was probably our best defender however.
Yeah. Ageuro would miss that and then later in the game score a worldlyOur greatest goal scorer of all time also missed easy chances, some easier than those you’ve just highlighted. Remember the open goal miss from a yard out v Chelsea. It happens.
It sounds ridiculous but I did wonder if he was going easy on them a bit, especially after us scoring in the first minute and people thinking it would be a 4 or 5 or more job. Probably more likely other reasons for it but he didn't look very interested for most of the gameI'm probably going to get pelters for this, but I'm not arsed.
I said this to my mate, who's a Leeds fan, that this was the second time I've watched Haaland not play as he should against Leeds and he sent me this:

Haaland saluting the Leeds fans who sang his name.
I don't hate on it, he was born there and has ties to his home city.
For me, I'd rather not select him to play Leeds in the future.
Tbh whether we like it or not he does have emotional ties to Leeds and he is a Leeds fan but he is also a professional but can’t score every game .It sounds ridiculous but I did wonder if he was going easy on them a bit, especially after us scoring in the first minute and people thinking it would be a 4 or 5 or more job.
