Do I deserve to get burned for this take?
He's getting clutch goals and his mentality is impressive relative to our weak-willed players but his open play or the actual "midfield-ing" leaves a lot to be desired. Like a talented mctominay. Im not really swayed by his goals. Haaland gets roasted for his open play despite getting goals and he's a striker, thats actually his job.
Twice already he's getting more PR than his more impressive teammates, Rodrygo against City and Vazquez against us.
He's a good player, he's still only 20 but he's certainly not the runaway ballon d'or winner that people are seeing him as. At least not yet.
