OK, I'll say it, it's time to bring back a false 9. In short, Haaland might as well be the invisible man. He's so static, he marks himself. You could almost justify his selection as a target man, if we went long, or crossed at every opportunity, but we don't.
Arsenal won that game today because they had a shot and got lucky, we didn't win that game today because we effectively played with 10 men and created nothing. No ingenuity, no creativity, no runs from deep, hardly any crosses and even fewer shots!
I could not believe he took off Alverez. He's the only goal threat or assist threat we have. I felt so sorry for Bernardo and our defence, but if you offer nothing offensively then eventually the other team will get lucky. It's happened 3 games on the trot, loads of possession, feck all chances created, Haaland taking root as he's that static, and 3 defeats to teams who are not better than us, but just chanced their luck by having the odd shot!
Indeed he did, but the supply line this season seems to have dried up completely at the moment. Gunders and Mahrez gone, Kev crocked and Jack reverting back into his first season incarnation. There’s not much point in having an out and out marksman like Erling in your team if you’re not going to give him the ball where he needs it.He managed to score 50 against teams that did what you suggest last season.
We‘re out of a bit of form and have had a poor 10 days.
We don’t need to rip the plan up that won us the treble just yet.
This. No creativity in our midfield. Having Rodri and Stones back will make a big difference.Haaland aint the problem
The midfield behind him is the problem.
Kovacic, Nunes, Bernardo, Foden, Grealish (when he plays) - so little creativity from all these players. Foden tries but the rest just dont
I dont get the purchase of both Kovacic and Nunes....one or the other fine but both no....they both run lots with the ball but dont create much (Nunes however acn play different positions so maybe we will see).
This shows that we need that replacement for KDB now.... not when he leaves/retires and neither of the lads we have bought are it....neither for me is Paquetta
No chance, Erling has to play, he's such a threat when's he out there and the best goalscorer in the world.OK, I'll say it, it's time to bring back a false 9.

There's an ideaI’d rather we actually tried to play it up to him and cross it in for him.
