Are City a better all round team without Haaland?

If he hasn’t knocked a pull back in or something during a game you’d leave saying “ that new striker weve signed is a fuckin donkey “
His footballing ability is shite

He’s there to score goals a he’s doing that but for how Pep plays I think we’re a stronger more dominant side without him in

Remember Chelsea at home last season?

We won 1-0 but continually through the game we played great balls into the box, got to the byline (remember when we used to do that?!) and cut balls back… and no **** was in the box!

After that game I said we’d never missed Agüero more and we were crying out for a striker.

We get one and now we rarely get decent balls into the box and we never get to the byline to cut balls back.

Is it not we created all those chances because we had 6 front players interchanging and creating instead of just 5
Hard to know but this is the worst we’ve looked for 5 years in terms of bossing games

To be fair they are very very different strikers. Whilst Haaland is a world class forward he’s no Sergio.

I get what you’re saying and I know he’s deadly if it falls to him in the box but I’d have expected to see a player being touted as one of the best players in the world dribble past a player at least once in half a season
He looks like a donkey when on the ball to me
His goals are basically one touch finishes ( that’s not a criticism) but when on the few occasions he gets it in general play he looks awful

Keep with him this season and hope he gets 40 and let Madrid know we are open to offers
Use the money to get Bellingham and go back to the old system
 
De Bruyne is now not finding him which is a huge worry. He's absolutely starved of any service at present, making him look awful in the process. It's another big problem in the team to sort out, can see Erling being on the subs bench very soon
 
Well other than his addition the best starting line up we have is the same as last year. So if we win less especially with our main rivals over the last few years faltering badly, you would surely have to conclude he has made our first choice starting 11 worse than what we were putting out last season
