Erling is going to be a conundrum.
Adjusting our style now to accommodate him could prove disruptive.
We have been fluid and interchangeable, with goals coming from different plays & players
He'll play from the bench for the next few games and hopefully he'll be fully fit,conditioned,in rhythm and razor sharp !!
We completely changed how we played to accommodate Erling, however I've noticed he's slightly changed the way he plays this season which is more accommodating to our style.
Hopefully he'll become more like Kane as he progresses, so we get the rotation we have now, with a lethal target man included in that, instead of everyone just looking toward Haaland.
I noticed this quandary late on agsinst Burnley with Doku. He made a run late on & his easiest move was to go for goal, or a through ball to Gomez, but he kept glancing right at Haaland who was the most difficult option, & ended up doing nothing & having the ball taken off him.
I reckon without Erling being there, he'd have gone for goal or played Gomez in. This is effect Haaland has on his team mates, & is something we need to sort out.
Like many, I like our rotation football with the goals being shared around the team. I just wish we could do that & include Haaland.
I pointed out last season that we seemed pensive in many games up to the point where Erling scored, whether we were winning, drawing or losing.
Even the commentators kept mentioning the minutes until he scored, so when he did there was a huge sense of relief that we could finally get on with the game now he'd got his goal. This unusual phenomenon wasn't fair on him or his team mates.
