Erling Haaland

Haaland

86 goals in 89 games Dortmund
Best goals per minutes ratio in Bundesliga History .
Fastest player to score 20 Champions League goals

Dortmund... in a league that can't defend and is handing out spaces away like it's nothing.

Haaland has a lot to prove. Most of his goals, if not all, were in Bundesliga and CL groups. The quality of the opposition he faced was pretty weak and has gone up very quickly. He has to respond and prove he is a scorer at the top of the game.

 

[Temptation]

You did not actually refer to the ?young? Ibra

Haaland's goalscoring rate in the CL and for Dortmund is better than any version of Ibra.

In CL? Dortmund kind of goes out from CL before the competition gets serious. Last time Dortmund was relevant in CL was nearly a decade ago.

So basically just like Zlatan throughout his career??

It's a perfectly fair comparison then!

He played against a top-2 team in the World in a brand-new system with brand-new team mates. Give him time and he will flourish.

That post reminds me of the time when Luca Toni was playing football
and people would post his goal tally to justify Barcelona going for him.
Would Luca Toni EVER fit to Barca's playstyle???

A goal tally alone says close to nothing.

Then, if you want more analysis:
When Haaland to Barca was hot (around February), I analyzed the vid with his 86 goals at Dortmund, one by one.
Most of them were tap-ins or easy 1-1. Not a single finish where he directs the ball in-between defenders' legs towards the corner of the net,
like Ansu does, or like Lewa does
You could also easily see watching all his 86 goals how he fits only a counter-attacking team, when he has acres of spaces in front of him to run into.

Thank God we dodged a serious bullet with him!

Luca toni? He is more like huntelaar

Luca toni? He is more like huntelaar

I didn't say he is similar to Toni as a player, but that there is an analogy between the justification used for both (goal tally), which is a bad argument

I analyzed the reasons Haaland wouldn't fit at Barca, and why he won't fit at City. Analyzed all his 86 goals at Dortmund. If you are interested, read it

Chill out on the knee jerk reactions. Will take a bit of time to gel with the team. The guy is an insane finisher and the other elements of his game he can developer and is probably one of the reasons on why he wanted to join pep at city.

Guy made some decent runs and had great movement but the city midfielder failed to deliver the right type of ball on multiple occasions. His touch was poorer than usual today and he missed chances he'd usually bury but I fully expect him and the team to put in better performances down the line.

Also don't forget that our new marquee signing played in the same league as well...

Yes we saw his insane finishing the other day.

He was lucky no body watches bumdesliga. But he is on fraud watch now.

Get a grip ... some in here will look so foolish when the goals come

Incidentally he scored a great goal after 12 minutes of his debut and against Bayern Munich
