have a feeling 90% of our goals coming now from Haaland only, its quite a change from last 2-3 seasons where it was shared between 6-7 players.
still would not mind Foden, Grealish score once in a while.

Well if thats the case it’s a risky strategy if he was to get injured..

The only criticism I have of this team at the minute is we seem to trying to find Haaland to much ? You can say how is that a criticism, who else is going to score the goals if we rely on him too much , we seem to be juts looking for Haaland to put it in the net ? Listen , he’s a fucking animal , we used to spread the goals round so much? If he gets injured , will we be able to revert to type with goals throughout the front 6 again ?

Yep there are times you can use him as a decoy when he attracts two, three defenders around him, it will come in time, he’s only been playing for us for a month

Yeah, he always seems pretty fair when it comes to us.

He used to really love us when his mate Roberto was the manager. He then seemed to go cool towards us for a while when Bob got his walking papers. But he seems to be back in our corner again.

Comparing this game to their last game against Barca, seems they decided to pack their defence and keep it tight. If they’re still within a chance of something in the game, I can see them bringing on Kasper Dolberg.

Regardless, the lads have been tidy. Akanji doesn’t seem out of place and makes sure he picks his pass. Grealish has made some good driving runs. Hasn’t played much this season so he’ll still be rusty. Kev finding Haaland is a good sight to see. Overall, decent performance from the lads. Patient and controlled.

Lol! Kev's head looks like its going to explode

He's at his most dangerous when he goes from blush to outright red...

 

[Octavian]

Dixon's alright in that dept so is Souness

Is that a wind up?

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Decent half. Akanji very impressive so far.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Watching different coverage. Has he mentioned how much our team cost yet?

I thought I heard him mention our positive net spend... Must have imagined it :-O

 

[Elbow beards]

it’s all about triangles , coz we got akanji

Worse football chant ever :)

 

[Zenmanc]

So...we're a one man team now...

FFS we buy an absolute poacher who is well in form...
