Put any of our current forwards/false 9s in that situation and they are stood 10 yards outside the box when that ball comes across. Haalands hunger to get in the box and score is off the scale.

This is what I think. We have created so many chances the past two seasons, but we have sorely missed Sergio. Erling is going to have a field day on the end of KDB , Foden, Mahrez, Barnado , Walker and Grealish balls.

His movement for that goal is insane. Good luck trying to pick him up when he's sprinting in at that pace to get on the end of pinpoint balls. His tally next season might not be off the charts depending on how long he takes to adjust and click but its Frightening how many goals he's going to score once that happens. If he stays fit records will be broke.

I'm not sure that it was a pin point ball. He seems to have an ability to perfectly home in on the ball ... no matter where it is ... all while on the run.

Natural striker instinct , just like Merlin knew where where everyone else was o the pitch as a creative midfielder. This guy looks like Sergio on steroids.

Same top speed as Mbappe this season. Didn't realise how fast he is.

Mbappe 36.04km/h
Haaland 36.04km/h

I didn't either, and his pace plus his size is just genuinely frightening. He's going be bigger, faster, and stronger then just about every defender he goes up against.

Remember how he absolutely manhandled Dias, who's hardly small himself, in the Champions League last year?

Yeah I wasn't referring to that goal in particular, more on about how the likes of Foden, mahrez and kdb will have it drilled into them exactly where to put the ball and Haaland is going to be sprinting in time and time again to bury it, it will be unstoppable.

Teams aren't going to be able to just sit back anymore with that kind of threat to deal with, they'll have to engage with us further up the field which opens the entire pitch up for us. We're going to find a whole new level when it all clicks.

Be funny seeing him put VVD on his arse next season.

How many times in the last two years have we seen a ball across the 6 yard box with no one there? bread and butter to him. The timing of run he made to meet that ball was superb. Hes going to score a shit load.

Countless.

The thing is, that type of goal has become synonymous with City. Even after the 3rd against Villa, Tyler said something to that effect and it is true we have scored a lot of goals like that under Pep. What the media don’t realise is the number we have scored should be double/treble the amount.
