11 goals in 7 games. Hope we get there soonI think he was more alluding to as soon as we got possession, we kept playing long balls or attempted Hollywood passes in to Haaland.
What I got was Pep wanted us to retain possession & build up our attacks with passes until a clear opportunity presented itself to pass to Haaland.
It's early days. Haaland offers little during our build up play unlike Mbappé/Kane etc, but he's more lethal in the box. Personally I think we'll have to meet Haaland half way. He'll have to adjust to how we play & we'll have adjust to him. We'll get there in the end.
Either I don’t understand the meaning of “hence,” or I have to disagree.I've no problem with Grealish as a player, when he's good he's good, but tonight wasn't one of those nights, hence Pep pulled him off after 62 minutes, clearly he wasn't happy, and nor was Pep, hence the debrief which the camera's showed, and then the obvious "sulk", so it wasn't so he can start on Saturday v Spurs, (happy to be quoted on Saturday if wrong).
Slow and steady wins the race…am I right?!11 goals in 7 games. Hope we get there soon
Haaland is the extra 10% we needed to get over the lineHard to find fault with that performance. Only thing that nags away at me is will we start to place too much reliance on Erling to win matches and titles or am I over thinking this.
the beauty of having as many excellent attacking players is that we don’t need Haaland to offer great amounts of build up play. The players around him do that. That’s why we wanted a proper striker isn’t it?It's early days. Haaland offers little during our build up play unlike Mbappé/Kane etc, but he's more lethal in the box.
