No, I wouldn’t sell him but that’s effectively what you are saying. Translation of your argument: “Haaland is a goal scorer full stop. He will never be anything else.” As I said, if that were true, he would be on his way. There was no comparison to Sterling, but rather to PEP’s policy on non-improvers. Have a look at what he did to the so-called stars when he became head coach of Barca. He hasn‘t changed that philosophy: change or die. Ask Mr. Eto’o. Now if Fat Sam were our manager, things would be different, but it’s PEP.

Haaland is a goalscorer fullstop. You are right. He will never be the player you want him to be. Don't forget Pep had Lewendoski at Bayern very similar to Earling he never tried to change him. Pep has already told Haaland not to get involved in general play too much and to stay in the box area. Pep understands what Earling is all about.

Was weird watching this at 8.15 in the morning but we played really well, could've been more!

Bit like Aberdeen winning the ECWC - a minnow that struck lucky. Wolves and your good selves are bigger in recent times.

Gooner in work reckons Villa should be under investigation for playing a weakened side & throwing their match against us last night.
Well, i laughed....he got angry, i laughed even more, he stomped off, i haven't stopped laughing since.
Funny as fuck

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Gvardiol's last two games have easily been his best for City. Although I don't think he'll be a long term LB he's going to be an excellent player. I'm hoping he will become a centre mid.

Dias is back to form as well

good shout

Now you've made me laugh as well. What a silly fool your workmate is. :-)

Loved that last night. Felt like I had my team back. Tempo much quicker. Players playing in their preferred positions. No exasperating fannying about at the back. Long may it continue.
