Hahaha can you imagine the outcry if he WASNT scoring any goals

 

[Jam Tomorrow]

Fucking hell, Joe Jordan is coming on !

I said the same thing at the weekend. Players you would normally expect to have a pop at goal are looking at Haaland. Unless we expect Haaland to score 100 goals someone else needs to have a go.

We are relying on him too much already

Well sort of, but that assumes that after playing without a striker for 2 years, we've forgotten how to do it in a couple of months.

Yeah good point ..

We’ve had bodies in the box on a few occasions tonight but the deliveries are hitting the first man too often.

Disagree !! Many a time KDB has only had Haaland to aim for as no-one else seems to want to join in.

 

[Zenmanc]

Too some extent thats right.We rely to heavily on him at times and tonight we need to get more bodies into their box.

You score goals any way they come as the team gels early days and begins to come together. Haalands probably still not remembered where is parking space is FFS, give them time.

@Psychedelic Casual Faux-Dane off.

Like on Sunday , this could have 1–1 written all over it

Early doors. They’re not creating too much, but when we are under pressure in our box it would be nice to simply send the ball towards one of their corner flags and let Erling fight for it as we move out.

Only trouble I sense from them is the second/third ball down our FB position, where the FB has committed himself further upfield. That’s how Newcastle got in behind us, and Navas has enough in his locker still to put one on a plate for someone.

Gomez hasn’t looked bad to me. It’s a difficult position to play for City, especially when he’s filling in for the best midfield-full back in world football atm!

Akanji LOOKS big, strong and assured SO FAR! Wouldn’t know he’s only been here two minutes…looks more like two seasons!!

A win and NO INJURIES, please!!!

 

[skillman]

It’s just how rapid he is, it’s a joke. Watch him when Phil plays the ball to KDB - he eats up ground like something I’ve never seen before. It’s frightening.

Rag central
Erling Haaland had four of City's nine shots in the first half, including both of their shots on target.

He only attempted five passes........
And ????
