Typical game from him, scored but general play is meh.
Can't hate on that kinda natural ability to score goals though.
There is nothing natural in being served on the platter chances of xG>0.4 week in, week out by the best oiled chance-generating machine in the world.
Yeah, he converts those, but should he really take credit because he converts huge chances?
I know, the common response that those chances are generated by his movement.
But LOL
Look at that assist by De Bruine tonight. It's 100 on him, not even 99%
(mind you Horatio:
I still have him captain of my Fantasy team. Because like I said last week: he will score a lot
That doesn't mean he makes City any better. He takes away a lot of things)
The thing is: Very few players in the world can score so consistently. If you put a good striker like Jesus upfront for City he isn't getting Haaland numbers, is he??
Yes
But Jesus does things Haaland can't do: in receiving the ball, linking up and assisting, playing on the wing if necessary.
Jesus is more all-rounded.
Man, I am afraid Pep made a mistake similar to Ibra with this transfer
That's true but City have many players to do that Jesus role and bring the things he'll bring in one way or another. But now they have a fox in the box. And that is something no one in the City squad can do.
Many players in City can do the false 9 hardworking player thing Jesus can do.
Great goalscorers are very rare in World Football. Scoring goals isn't as easy as Haaland makes it look.
But there are these games against top sides that you need all 10 outfield players to contribute to link-up, coming short and creating, defending and pressuring intensively etc
City hasn't played yet against top-6 in England or the corresponding top-6 in Europe. I am expecting to see them in those games.
If in the end Haaland makes them thrash better the mid and lower EPL and European sides (something they were already doing pretty well), but fails to give them the edge or makes them worse against top sides,
then the transfer is a failed one for me

Airling* Missed opportunity
