Are City a better all round team without Haaland?

What a shite thread. The OP needs shot.

Thought I'd give this a bump. We were unreal today. Best we've played all season.

We were fantastic but it's still a big fat No from me

Question is. Is it because of Haaland, or are the other players trying to find him too much? I do think Alvarez helps link up the play better, but Pep will figure it out I’m sure.

With Haaland, that's 6 -1.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

With Haaland that game finishes 6 or 7-1, so no.

I thought we were more on the front foot today.

I think it would have if Haaland came on later in the game, the game took the direction it did because we reverted to playing almost the same system as we did last year with a false 9 role. Alvarez was excellent. It just goes to show that we have more than one string to the bow.

Brutal bump

He doesn't need to start every game, there's probably going to be a couple of games a season where the extra man in midfield will get the job done
