Erling Haaland

[sir baconface]

Does he run like a girl, fall over easily and miss from 5 yards?

If not, he might get a few goals for us.

I don't think we'd change style if he was to take a wide position... e.g. getting on the end of crosses to simply tap in like Sterling/Sane years ago and/or powering into the space that's not really available centrally.

Obviously he could also play as a 9 but I think he could be better in our current style...and leave the middle to Jesus or a false 9.

You think we’d sign the likely 2nd best number 9 in the world right now and not play him at 9 but instead play him on the wing so Jesus can continue missing the sitters and 1 on 1’s? Riiiiiight.

Right, where's the Haaland or Felix poll thread!

Hopefully not needed as if it’s anything other than 9:1 in favour of Haaland then we’d best not show the results.

Haaland isnt a good dribbler or passer nothing execeptional in that side of his game, but what he is world class at is finishing you give haaland two chances in a game one of them is going in. He is so confident in front of goal compared to other strikers. Hes also tall so imagine him getting onto KDBs crosses. I genuinley believe he would score 25 to 30 a season here

Jesus needs to be kept as far away from in front of goal as possible

His movement, and his pace, a 100% fit for 'the way pep likes to play'.

That's no way to talk about our Sergio.

He's a very effective dribbler, if not exactly smooth. He's a lot like Yaya, he gets going and there's just a trail of opposition defenders bouncing off him and left on the floor in his wake.

In the Sevilla games, every time he'd start running at goal, even if it was in his own half, he sucked in half the Sevilla team because they were terrified of him, and it created so much space for others.
