Erling Haaland

[Loki]

Looks like its happening. Leao-Haaland-Yamal would be a Hell of an attack...

you can't win 3vs11 and Laporta would need to sell all the remaining players to buy Haaland alone.

It's not happening ;D

Maybe in a few years :S

It's happening and we are here to witness it all.

Once he loses his pace, he'll be worse than Lukaku. Not kidding. Lukaku has a better overall game.

Anybody who believes this guy is better than Mbappe, is mental.

 

[Deco]

Nobody is giving he any passes and creating space for him, this season City is not the same as last year City with wingers can provide assists like Mahrez and Gundogan.

This guy won't do shit against RM , again.

Which is precisely why he's not anywhere close to being the best player in the world. As a footballer he's so limited.

Even an old CR7 who he gets compared to affected the game more than Haaland does when he isn't getting big chances.

Must admit I thought joining City and being coached by Pep would improve his general play.

Outside of shooting, his general play is shite.

@iniestaGOAT called it all along

You can't teach technique, flair and skills at Haaland's age.


Pep generally gets the players that have all the minerals and micromanages them according to his system. Just like Grealish.

Mbappe has it easy if this guy is his only competition.

Maybe Yamal can make it interesting in 2-3 years

It's not even just that, he makes zero attempt to try any different movement, run channels etc.

Literally stands about and makes it very easy for any half decent CB to mark him out the game.

Compare that to someone like Nunez for example who may lack the clinical finishing but is much more involved in the game.

 

[DonAK]

He's also gotten bullied physically more often this season which shouldn't be possible for a guy with his stature, and wasn't something that happened earlier.

He's big, but lanky big.

Worrisome to hear this come from DonAK, who is Norwegian.
