9 | Erling Haaland - 2025/26

[Semper aggressus]

Did his best with absolutely zero service.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

I thought he was pretty good on the whole. Certainly more interested than the Sunderland game. Some nice touches to bring others into play, excellent movement that once again went unfound, and so unlucky with that shot off the woodwork

 

[.db.]

Looked far from "goosed", and that powerful run with ball was exactly what he should be doing more of.

Looked much more lively today than at Sunderland. Could have scored two in the first half, unfortunate with the one they hit the post, was saved by last ditch tackles after Yaya style burst forward on his own from scoring two in the second half n’all.

 

[Jag]

Why does he always run to the far post when Doku has the ball? Everyone knows that Doku is going to cross it hard and low and yet he never attacks the ball. Doku rarely lobs the ball to him.

Is this a tactical instruction from Pep?

 

[supercity88]

Played really well, took it to Chelsea and made some excellent runs both to receive the ball and as a decoy. Felt like Foden and Cherki took the wrong option with their final pass too many times today, either delaying playing Erl in or playing him in when the other was in space.

Haaland is never going to eschew the middle of the box for launching himself at the front post as it simply isn't a good place from which to score goals.

Him and City's backroom staff know far more than the people on here.

But Aguero scored about 5 of his 260 goals from the front post so it must be very effective, don't be fooled.

And they were identical players too!!!

 

[Bluewonder]

Well?

Well what?

 

[TurboDuo]

I'm still baffled by the fact that this didn't goes in

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Erling must have upset the Gods, so many almost but not quites, either woodwork or blocks.

Mathematics. It's all about mathematics. Like snooker, tennis, croquet etc.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Did his best with absolutely zero service.

How about he makes some runs? Please take a look at the clip at 0:38. A ton of space to run into, and he's just walking. He's looked disinterested in the last few games.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Another stinker. He's been checked out for a month.

 

[handsofstone]

Its raw but fuck it

Hes not a big game player, fucking horrible today missed so many chances

Has he ever scored a goal after the 85th minute?

 

[TurboDuo]

Unlucky. I have no another words

 

[super_city_si]

Needs benching for a game or two. Luckily it’s cup next so he should be given time off v exeter

Clearly not on it whether fatigue or a knock.

 

[samuelyeboah]

 

[Blu1]

He has no pressure as we have not other striker

 

[Chak19]

Unlucky. I have no another words

My arse, that miss was inexcusable, he has completely shit the bed in the last 3 games along with Foden and Cherki and it's probably cost us the league.
