Are City a better all round team without Haaland?

[Oyster28catcher]

The first day this thread appeared, I laughed. I genuinely thought it was a wind up. Every time I see this thread, now on 51 pages, I don't want it to go away. I hope that this thread and similar conversations persist, just to remind me why I can't understand and people. Not for lack of trying.

Absolute nonsense to even think it

I’ll let you know once we start passing to him again.

Cough, cough.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

The sort of thread you'd expect from a Morrissey fan.

What difference does it make?

 

[Tevez City]

I think yes.

The team become more unpredictable without him.

But also can't complain if he helped the team to win the League & CL.

 

[cheekybids]

Every game I think ffs then he does this. Keep it up big man, I don’t mind looking a ****.

I think we’ve had players who can score the 1st, 50% miss the 2nd & I’ve lost count how many times Jesus & Sterling missed the 3rd. Never take the easy chances for granted.

Time will tell…… it’s a team game, and if this team scores more goals and wins more matches than the City teams of the last couple of seasons ( Ie ones we supposedly played without an out and out striker ) …..then the answer to the question is No.

However regardless of how many goals Haaland scores, if we don’t as a team score as many goals etc as previous City teams then it is fair to say that we are probably not a better all round team with him in it.

A skill that Nunez hasn’t got.

We are certainly a worse all-round team with Haaland simply because we've changed our successful 4-3-3 system and even as 4-4-2 hasnt worked, Pep refuses to revert back to what made us so formidable.

Yep that something weve been missing for a while, the amount of times the balls were put in the perfect position for there to be nobody getting near it.

I couldn't care less if he only scored pens - that would at least be an improvement on previous seasons !

Typical short-sightedness. If you get a tap-in the hard work has clearly already been done by the rest
of the team.

 

[Agueroooo9320]

no it is more of a midfield and winger issue of not being closer to him. also not having legs and energy to press in midfield anymore

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

This threads aged well.

 

[BlueMoonAcrossThePond]

I've two words to answer the question, "Are City a better team without Haaland." Just two.

You might want to get out your pen and pencil to record my answer so that you'll remember this.

Ready?

Are City a better team without Haaland?

Spoiler

FUCK NO!!!

 

[Gaz in Zurich]

I think we need to be more direct with him..just get the ball and launch it like Utd do with Rashford. That'll give the opposition something else to think about, as they know we try to play the perfect pass and fill the space.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Bring back Santa cruz to show haaland how it’s done.
