Haaland Record Tracker

[Deleted member 81382]

Most goals in an English top-flight season across all competitions:

Dixie Dean - 63
Haaland - 52*

We have 5 games left, 6 if we reach the Champions League final.

To a mere mortal that would be completely unrealistic but with Haaland you can never rule it out.

If he is to pull off this seemingly impossible task, a lot will depend on how much game time he gets in the remaining league games and how much effort Chelsea and Brentford put in given they have nothing to play for. He would need to be absolutely ruthless in front of goal because you know we will create the chances for him.

It probably won't happen but if he could get a hat-trick and a brace or two you just never know. If he doesn't break the record this season I still think there's a good chance he will do it at some point during his time here.

The fact that we are so close to the end of the season and it's still a possibility is kind of absurd.

If it doesn’t happen this season, it will happen one season or another

I can't see it happening at all at this point. The last 4-5 games were the opportunity for Haaland to really challenge that record. He could have broke it in the Leeds game alone. However, never say never.

12 goals to beat Dixie Dean’s record of 63, he has 5 games - 4 hat tricks!

Just the fact that we're even feeling a little disappointed that he isn't erasing the 100 year old all-time record in his debut season, says a lot about how high he has set the bar. At least Shearer, Cole and Salah got their records wiped. Just a mind boggling season, for a mind boggling player.

I have a feeling he might absolutely unload on Chelsea, he must be frustrated that he couldn't score vs. Madrid and with the possibility of winning a first league title or celebrating it if Arsenal slip up before kick off.

Yeah, can't see it happening now either. It's a shame because as you say, had he taken a few of the chances he's missed in the last few games he probably could've done it.

Arsenal, Leeds and Madrid at home in particular stand out as games he could and maybe should have had hat-tricks in but only scored once in all three games combined.

I'm not criticizing him by the way, it's still been a phenomenal season that has far exceeded all of our expectations.
