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

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.

He's turned them all into paranoid schizophrenics.

He's so good he's a cheat code, but in actual fact he's really shit and only scores tap ins.

Happy for them to keep slating him myself. It makes them look very stupid, and Erling will continue to make them look even more stupid. Whilst barney ronay and co can't deal with their bitterness to give an honest assessment, people who know their arse holes from their ear holes can see through it (rooney best example, also kevin campbell and cascarino today). On top of that, you don't piss guys like Erling Haaland off, it gets the best out of them. These hacks making out as though he's shit will just fire him up. Sooner or later they will have to accept he's brilliant, or choose to keep embarrassing themselves and firing him up. I'm happy for them to stick with the latter

The Nunez hype merchants have already been made to look very silly indeed and the schools have only been back a week or so

I mean, fucking hell, the absolute state of this nonsense, from two so called professional experts.
Hindsight makes it look 10 times worse of course but even so, the tendency to be swayed by the recency bias of a single friendly, over and above all other empirical evidence, is laughable

We’ve got so many players that enjoy seeing lots of the ball. We didnt need anymore. What we did need is a player to stick it in the onion bag. This was plainly obvious to anyone with 1 brain cell.

I cant believe this guy (and others) dont know this. They have to write something negative to suit their agenda, so have nothing else to go on about. Embarrassing take from someone who gets paid to write this absolute guff….

Jonathan Liew: El Gasico? El Cashico? But Man City v PSG is worth getting excited for

Neither of football’s great petrocarbon empires have won the Champions League and now they stand in each other’s way

This is now a regular weekly thing with him , at HT they were highlighting that Erling had the least touches out of everyone , In my 50 years of watching football I have never ever seen the media highlight how many touches the likes of shearer , lineker , Henry ect had , this would NEVER be mentioned if he was playing for the rags or scousers

Thing is he doesn’t give a shit he said he’s happy if he got 5 touches and scored 5 goals

When the Viking God first came they said: "He could only score in the farmers' league." Then they said :"He will fail in the Premier League." Then they said: "He can't play for Pep because he is too limited." Then they said: "He's not as good as Mbappe anyway." Then they said: "Oh fuck."
This is the best time to be a City fan. We have been blessed. Just drink it in.

And Haaland is tying the WhatsApp group in knots, killing them
They all hate City but they are all dying to watch him
They’ll all be first in the queue to cover our games whenever possible
 
We need to bung silver lake a few billion to buy the rest of the premier league. Stop them having a monopoly. We did get away with it before or so I am reliably informed by talksport and Sky and the bbc. -:)

Haaland is a game changer. He is leading the transition of City from being a sometimes-loved English club (by neutrals) to a leading giant of the game (who everyone hates). He is the biggest star we have ever had. I don't mean the best player...just the biggest global star. As a fan it is amazing to be part of this change in history. What a fucking ride it has been following City. No club has really done this before..at least in the modern era. When we win win the CL it will be a huge "Fuck you" moment.
