I think without doubt they would actually spin it in a positive light and say it was a good thing and a mark of a true world class finisher/striker.

Maybe it is largely in the individual viewers mind whether they are suggesting it is a positive or a negative?

The consensus of press reports is that Haaland is shit, till he scores. An example from the Grauniad:

Guardiola has found his most interesting Manchester City yet thanks to Haaland | Jonathan Liew

The Norwegian’s influence sometimes looked lacking against Dortmund but his patience again proved devastating

www.theguardian.com

He's confusing the chuff out of them. They all seem to be oblivious of the fact he ties down two defenders most of the time. Wonderful.

If you read my reply to the previous post, I could write exactly the same thing here. That article could just as easily be viewed as a positive one or a negative one depending on your perception and expectation.

Interestingly, the use of the term 'goalhanger' that I've noticed for the first time in several recent media discussions is something which definitely has a negative connotation.

I haven't heard that since I was in primary school (late 70s) where it was coined as a pejorative due to the fact that there were no offsides in the playground.

While it may have been attemptedly cloaked in a thin veneer of objectivity (to the effect of, 'so, does that make him a goalhanger?') the fact that it has been resurrected at all for use in this context in debate about somebody who is so far just about the most astonishing striker anyone has ever seen, raises questions as to whether systemic Cityism actually is a thing - whether commentators are are aware of it or not.

Not clicking on that but the expert sports reporter if it names a writer could do worse than thinking a little out of the box (hehe) and reading the @bluenova post in the previous page.

Just potentially another lazy no-nowt dick in the press telling the sheep what they should think....say it enough and the brain dead will believe.

Up to and including last night's matches the BBC websites live text had just been pared down, succinct and factual accounts of the progress in each game, presumably all part of the austere tone during the period of mourning.

Now the rags are playing the BBC have suddenly reverted back to full text commentary with emotive descriptions, fans comments and opinion etc

I am sick of fancy sycophancy.

Also Norwich are in the process of selling a stake to yanks, so if they get back up, there's another one!
