Why the fuck are Sky so obsessed with Haaland's touch map? It's getting weird and obsessive

 

[Damanino]

Marmoush with best fucking G+A in Bundesliga, he needs to bring some of that for us too, I know its hard to hit the ground running, and he is trying cant fault the effort but we need more

 

[christened at st marks]

Beyond the obvious num cunts think we are playing well

 

[I'm Blue]

COME ON CITY!!!
Pride in battle..

 

[Taylor]

They're obsessed with Haaland's touches.

In the modern game against a low block, strikers don't touch the ball often.

Yeah clowns

 

[sir baconface]

Sky wankers dissing Haaland.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

fucking touch time line
what a bunch of wankers

It's why I don't pay them a fucking penny.

I've never seen a strikers touches microanalysed like this.

Why sudden interest on Erlings touches again? Ohh because they want to pretend that means Gabriel and Saliba are better than Nesta & Maldini rather than fact that it's Erlings touches in every game.. Fucking weird sky cunts

 

[chesterbells]

I watching on Optus Sports so no … he’s morphed into Lee Bradbury again, as he’s done on several times when we play at this pedestrian pace.

I know what you mean, but let’s be honest, we have played “with control” as I prefer to describe it, for the vast majority of the time we’ve had this manager.

 

[VOOMER]

Come on city

And no other player gets it but if he scores it shows the cnuts up ..

2 things.
1. Haaland not getting many touches is not the fault of Haaland. The supporting cast is there to get the ball to him.
2. It strikes me that Arse are playing to defend their lead. Playing on the break and drawing us forwards. The same tactics used by everyone these days. If we equalise, I believe they will move up a gear and get another. They should have at least 2 goals already with that plan.

He's too content playing behind the striker. He doesn't move in the box to make himself available or drag defenders. That's why it's so static.

 

[gray740]

Embarrassing shit from Sly even by theyr`e standards

 

[yankblue]

If Haaland played for a red team there'd be no discussion of his touches and he'd already be crowned the greatest goalscorer of all time

They realise they've got the biggest superstar in world football in England but he plays for us so they'll say anything to put him down.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Nunes could have crossed that early and let Erl take his chances...make the run

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Quite agree with No 2 unfortunately

Anything to cast a negative light.

They have nothing else. Can u imagine Ronaldo or another world class goal scorer getting treated this way? Nope neither can I.

 

[bondsman]

Neville is a prick.
