Spurs (A) - Sun 5th Feb, 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

He scores in games generally when we score 3 or 4, in tight games Chelsea away 1-0 no goal, dippers away lost 1-0 no goal rags away lost 2-1 no goal, Arsenal the other night won 1-0 no goal, he needs to turn up in the tight games when we need the goals, I'm not slating him and saying drop him or he is crap, but he seems to beyond critisism, while other players get slaughtered

So that's pretty selective. If he wasn't scoring 2 or 3 in those games, they would be tight games

Mahrez pretty much won the game vs spurs on his own at ours, then you say he was average last night, I love how all the usual suspects are thrown Into the hat to be dropped, well haaland was very average last night but he never gets mentioned to be dropped

Possibly because it would be an absolute folly to drop the best goalscorer in the world?

Read my post again, I said we shouldn't drop him, I said he seems immune from criticism

Not really, hat trick against wolves 1 pen, 1 that mahrez pretty much gifted him

Still have to be there and score them.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Gone for the big W.
We have to start showing some form soon - nearly 9 days to work things out.
Here's hoping

 

[LongsightM13]

Been to every game at that stadium and we’ve never scored
Taking one for the team and not going this time, 3-1 win incoming

 

[Bluemoonadam]

3-2 to us

 

[its grim up north]

Last February I watched the 2-3 home game in the Barbacoa in the Europa Centre, Puerto Rico, GC. Spoiled my night. The Abba tribute band on afterwards just didnt do it for me. Well I'm there again this year, I know this time we're away but not temptimg fate I'll be in Bullers Bar on Sunday.

He has scored at a rate of a goal and a half per premier league game, and you cherry pick a few games he hasn’t scored in. Nobody can score in every single game but to be at nearly 1.5 per game, in his first season, is unfucking heard of

Ok so now let’s not count pens and tap ins. Fucks sake, we’ve been looking for a penalty taker since Yaya, and since when was a tap in from a Mahrez assist not worth the same as any other goal? Your glass isn’t even a quarter full, and whatever is in it is sour

Ok mate, why because I said certain players get hammered week in week out, akanji, ake, mahrez to name but a few, but their are games when haaland does Jack shit but never gets called out, and if his does people get told they are sour by the likes of you

I picked the games that were tight and we lost or won by a fine margin, not having a go at him

 

[Gigant]

Ederson
Walker
Akanji
Dias
Ake
Rodri
Bernardo
Alvarez
Mahrez

Haaland

Haaland’s numbers are unheard of in the premier league, and that’s accepted by more than the likes of me. Mind you if you weren’t moaning at him you’d only be moaning about someone else, because that’s what you do, you seem to have a completely bitter and sour outlook on City. Certain players get hammered by certain posters indeed, posters like you

Yeah you did, you picked the games where Haaland didn’t score, that’s pretty fucking sad to be honest. The man has scored more goals on his own than 9 of the TEAMS in the league

Yes I picked tight games, where he is supposed to be the man that was going to make the difference in them games, when Pep came he fucked Sergio off for not working hard enough, yet halaand is allowed to make about 7 touches a game, if Sergio had been given that luxury he would be hitting those numbers, give me a prime aguero any day

I'm not hammering him though am I? Check my posts I give players credit where its due, I said from day 1 Ake was a quality player, I have never slagged Mahrez, some people on here want Kevin dropped, I've never slagged him, see my reply to your other comment, I dont think haaland is shit, but I also think he gets more credit than he deserves

Probably a fairly obvious comment, but this match seems like the "symbolic" mid point of the season and either a jumping off point or the night the title may become out of reach.
We have over a week of rest before, and a week until the next match.
Probably the last time that will happen this season.
If we don't come out and dominate from the start, then its probably time to just accept this team doesn't have "it" this season.

I'm optimistic that this is where the season changes, and the boys turn it up a notch after a weeks worth of rest / preparation tactics wise for the remainder of the season.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Keep that twat Kane quiet and we'll win this, he's their danger man
