Who started the ridiculous notion that City were better without Haaland ?

I think you are right. If not there was certainly supporters of idea. Although I wasn’t one of them (as it’s always silly to go early on your judgement where Pep’s involved), I didn’t think the idea was ridiculous at the time.

It’ll never be as good as the Soccer Saturday meltdown when we signed De Bruyne. That still remains comedy gold.
 
Wasn't it Carragher? Think it was a reasoned argument rather than just a headline, probably at a point where we were struggling a bit, based on how we played last season without a proper striker to his we looked this.

How often did we square balls into the box last season with no one there for the tap in, yet this season we had someone there and didn't bother to put it in the box.

Haaland's game has changed this season and he's a lot more involved in build up now, so maybe there was an argument that Haaland has now won, although I still think he could have scored a lot more - how many times have we seen him make a run only for someone to turn and pass it sideways. Cancelo was a major culprit but others have done the same. We know it takes a season for players to understand Pep's system, whereas this year I think it's the other players who struggled to remember how to play with Haaland.

Next season, he'll have 50 by Christmas!
 
Yes Dave Ewing is right. NINE in 26 League Games for the Bootle Blaster. What fucking tripe did our beloved media come out with? From what I remember they were comparing a man that cost almost double what City paid for Haaland, stating Blaster was the better buy. AGAIN British media, go and fuck yourselves with a ripe banana.

Does anyone remember who started this nonsense a few week/months ago, declaring that we were a better team without him ?
Did it originate from some clown in the media, some nobless cretin from tv, or an even bigger idiot from Twitter ?
Whoever it was, started quite a debate (and a fucking bad one at that).
50 goals says differently you gormless twat, whoever you are.

When it was being mentioned through the Winter, I don’t reckon we were a better team this season compared to last. I don’t think we played well at all in the lead up to and the aftermath of the World Cup.

From mid October to the beginning of February our record was:
LWWWLDWLWWL
P11 W6 D1 L4 F21 A12 GD+9 Pts19/33

Our only good performances in those eleven games were Leeds away and the second half come back against Spurs.

In reality it was that stupid World Cup disrupted the middle of our season. But I don’t blame anyone for thinking we looked poor at the time and looking back at how we played last season without Haaland, that we were a better team then.

Besides, we’ve won nothing yet this season and still might not for all we know. We could look back to last season and think we were a better team then as we won the league. Or we could end up winning the treble this season and have a claim to say we are the greatest team ever.
