Not sure we look a better team, nor am I sure of the statistical comparison, if we rest him it's for easier matches.Totally agree with the icing on the cake...he is also the best 1 v 1 finisher i think in prem. But as a team we score the same about of goals ..all. chipping in.. as we do woth big Erl....we score the same wothout erl and look a better team!
Best I've seen us this season was against Newcastle where he created a lot of room that Marmoush benefitted from.
We looked utterly toothless against Real, Liverpool and Scum when he didn't play.
Our recent better form has been due in large part due to a settled back line and O'Reilly's introduction IMO, I reckon Haaland would make us look more potent.
