Has Haaland REALLY regressed this season? | The Breakdown
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июн 2024
- The criticism that Erling Haaland has received in his second season at Manchester City has been a bit puzzling. Understandable to a point, considering the big misses he has had - uncharacteristic misses it should be said - but greatly overblown as well.
Plenty of focus has been put on his lack of involvement and his lesser yield of goals - but is his output really that bad? And is he just a victim of his own success and people criticizing him for not being something they expect him to be?

When you set the standards to high even for yourself
you do have to admit his link up play is horrific, great goalscorer tho
@@zes3542is it tho it's good
@zes3542 It's not, it's mediocre, but has definitely improved.
@@zes3542He is marked like crazy, cause of his speed. Kane is slow and therefore is mostly left unmarked
@@zes3542Was he brought into City to be a linkup player or was he brought into score goals?
It's crazy to think he's only 23 and has already broken Aguero's highest Premier League goal tally in both seasons. When it comes to great players, many people recognize their talent, some criticize them, but eventually, everyone will come to appreciate Haaland
People underestimate what him taking 2-3 defenders out of the game does for the rest of the teams play
Great comment he’s a team player no matter what !
2 tops but fair point. I still think he's a bit overrated, still a great striker tho.
The thing is he cannot do that against top teams usually one good defender takes him out of the game
@@marwanfakhradin2543false, he usually is marked hard, so he can open or give space to midfield, in first leg in madrid thats why gvardioal and foden scored, a ton of space and 3-4 marking haaland, second leg same thing, just the goalkeeper and resl madrid were lucky as hell, 1 defender isnt enough to mark him, you probably watched that rudiger edit and said he is bad lmao
@@bot6349he’s definitely not overrated if anything he’s underrated now
This season Haaland scored more than most of the PLs best ever strikers would in their best ever seasons.. yet Haaland is disrespected constantly.
Its the level he set for himself. The very best are always hated most.
Also because he plays for the most hated club in the country. Would he get this level of criticism if he played for Liverpool or United? Definitely not.
@@Brandon-nq7ys if he played for Liverpool or United he be getting shouts the best epl player ever in the future or best St ever in the futrue
@@crazybrothers5544 Likely the same outcome would happen if he played at Madrid
He's in the Pep system so he's only used as a box player. He's fantastic at it but we don't see him play ball like he did at Dortmund. It's kind of the same with Højlund in Man U. He just doesn't get the service Haaland gets. The kid is built like a tank and yet all he's used for is to stand in the box. They don't get to play football. Not really.
@@basquat76And If They Are Winning. Why Fix What Aint Broke... He's A Cog. And A GOOD ONE... Worry When He Needs To Be A Handy Man... Then See What Happens... They Don't Play Football???... A Treble???... What's That? An Award For Playing Darts??... Come On...
I don’t get how Messi and Ronaldo fans say guys we’ll “never see players like Messi or Ronaldo again” then get mad when Mbappe and Haaland aren’t at their level lol.
because people are trying to compare those two to messi and ronaldo based purely on stats without considering the context and the intangibles
Ong😂😂😂
@costantinogyasi nah in my view, media will never let go of the past. Why can't people stick to the present😂
@@ezekielphiri2607 ain't about media, it's the view of football we have nowadays... me myslef , i don't remember the last time i saw a FULL match without scrolling my phone and i BET my ass there are many peoples that they don't watch matches, but goes to the apps like sofascore look at the stats and base all their judgments on that... and moving forward it will be worst and worst...
@@ezekielphiri2607 because the present sucks, if you disagree with what im about to say then thats exactly why it sucks, mf haaland was on the verge of winning a bdor... haaland, let me say that again, erling haaland was close to winning the bdor, meaning HES the BEST player ITW... do you see how pathetic that statement is? how can a player be the best ITW when his team needs to find him?
I think most of the league just figured out to park the bus against him. I also don’t think city’s ultra high possession style suits him. He’d thrive in a more counter attacking team
But he's pushing more impressive numbers in a possession based City team than he did at Dortmund.
I agree with the fact that his contribution is off the ball and Cam score hatricks but with the fewest touches... Watch any city game and you'll see...
This season for example, haaland score with his first touch of the season...
@@ndhlovumichaelThat’s cause city is a superteam, dortmund is not. Let’s say Man City had the same level of dominance but played klopp style imo you’d see a better haaland/ more enjoyable to watch haaland. His fast break/transition aspect has practically been killed off. Even in dortmund cause it wasn’t as compact you saw more ability on the ball.
My thoughts exactly.
@@GOATZELWARDBANDWAGON. Scoring is enjoyable to watch, no matter how it's done. The fact that it looks simpler means that Pep wants it that way, and if it's working don't expect him to change it.
So again, 'pleasing to watch' is a subjective phrase, city fans appreciate Haaland and love him. Not city fans spend time comparing him to Ronaldo for aesthetics
And get injured easily ,the man is at the right team , he doesn't have to be running all over the place , what has this young man has to do , grow wings and fly ,? This kid broke all records in this league in his first season , 63 prem goals in 65 matches , 90 goals in about 95 games in all competition ,all the criticism he is getting stems from the fact he is playing at city , the no fan , no history club , winning all the trophies and putting the big FOUR TO REST , THOSE FOUR CLUBS AND FANS are shitting themselves losing their sanity , if he played for any of these clubs ,he probably would already be knighted , SIR HAALAND the great ,,
it's not been applauded enough how Rodri has been the main man carrying City this season. even when KDB or haaland had bad games he was always at his very best! for me he's been City's POTS over Foden
Especially with Gundy leaving and Dinho leaving the season before that hes been an absolute rock solid prescense for City and hes had to carry alot of that burden I hope Mattheus and Kova can make a bigger impact on the squad next season it usually takes a year for new incomings to settle into life at etihad
the fact that people are asking who’s had better season between rice and rodri shows how underrated rodri is. man has gone 70 games unbeaten for club and country
Rodri is not the main man Foden has been the best player for them this season
Bernardo Silva is the main man behind City’s success, he might not be scoring or assisting all the time but his work rate in both attack and defense is insane, and the guy is so versatile he can even play left back he is so good for them. For me above Rodri and Foden
Why talk about other players when this is about Haaland. Come on. Make a video about Rodri then
He is still worldclass this season, his presence alone forces opponents to focus on him and not be able to mark his team mates
Amen!
He's the best striker the prem has ever seen, based on numbers strictly.
Is he fun to watch? Probably not for a lot of people.
Is he effective? Yes
Is he elite? Yes
Is he still young and still evolving? Yes.
His clinical and direct way to play is quite entertaining. Its very different and interesting. Something new.
his finishes are always fun to watch. He scores exceptional goals routinely, like finishes which make you stand up and clap. But yeah, otherwise, he plays to his strengths, which is off the ball movement and finishing. He isn't a good passer, but he doesn't need to be, because there's plenty of those at City. And he is elite at the things he does best. Fast and strong too. Overall just wonderful player. Don't see how people can possibly think otherwise
@@maciejbala477 I think he is one of the best making assists. He knows exactly when to send the ball
So far there are 14 players who have scored 25+ goals in a Premier League season, out of these there are only 7 who have managed to do it more than once. Haaland has done it in his first two seasons in England. There could be tons of reasons why or why not, but fact is still that it's an incredible achievement, and that it still points to him being an absolute world class striker.
However, I do agree that he has been less leathal than last season. More bigger misses, but I wouldn't say that's too surprising for any player to not always have better and better numbers. It could be "2nd season" syndrome, because of the injury and potentially coming back too early, or something else, but his numbers are still that he is by far the top scorer in PL this season. Aguero to have a comparison started with 23 in his first season, only to drop to 12 the next - then to 17, 26, 24... World class striker, but also had a dip in his second season
... and for Keane - I think he has been advised to build up on the agenda against the Haalands just to ensure he stays relevant in media. It causes a lot of clicks and interaction, and thus also more viewers, readers and income from advertisement.
If i played at city as striker i would score 10+ goals every season in just the league alone. I would probably have another 7+ goals in the rest of competitions.
@@insideinside9450wdym Jesus had those numbers 😂
@@broman1429 i mean as a fit player, always available and not being a second fiddle to someonelike Aguero.
@@insideinside9450 then what are you doing here in the youtube comments?
Go make a trial and sign for city mr "i can easily score goals in the premier league"😂😂😂
You're absolutely right, especially with your last paragraph.
He is still worldclass this season
Tbh Watkins had a better season and i think maybe he would have won Golden boot if he played for City
NO. Aguero is a good take. City would happily share the goals equally which is happening now compared to last season. Watkins or any other striker would just not be the complete main man
@@FootballMan-eb6qxHe definitely wouldn't of hahahaha. The only reason Haaland gets criticised at all is because he plays for the most hated team in the country.
@@Brandon-nq7ys Or Because he he does not track back like Aguero does when he was at City I think Haaland is a better player than Aguero but he is not getting used to his full potential by Pep he was so good when he was at Dortmund his playmaking was also top notch but now he is just a goal poacher
@@FootballMan-eb6qxthey said that last year about Harry Kane, and Isaak. Haaland was injured for over 2 months 😂😂
Great video, Adrian. I feel like we simply don’t enjoy players anymore. There’s always a debate, always a problem, always a critique. There’s a time and place for that stuff, sure. But maybe, I dunno…enjoy these types of talents while we have them, right?
People love unnecessary comparisons, I don't think I've ever watched a game with about 3 persons that someone won't bring an argument into it.
@@gabrielalohan728 so true
Facts ppl have agendas and personal attachment with players that's why
It's because social media has taken over football. There's always non stop coverage, always debates to be had, always stats to obsess over, like you said. People just can't allow themselves to enjoy football anymore
THIS! THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS!
When we started understanding football we saw Messi and Ronaldo win games on their own. That is our standards.
that is the problem for Haaland and Mbappe and everyone who may follow Leo and Cr7
Mbappe and haaland don't need to be Messi or Ronaldo. They chasing a stupid thing becoz even if they score more win more trophies the oldheads will never appreciate it.
@@SiyabongaSibiya-pj9gb we, the old heads, have seen Leo dribble passed 5 players to score a goal.
We have seen Ronaldo score when 4 defenders were in front of him.
We have seen unrealistic things. We have developed a taste of true greatness. Mediocrity won't satisfy us
No player wins the game on their own. Come on. Its 22 players out there and everybody is doing their bit. When Foden or Alvarez is scoring it might be that two defenders are on Haaland? Its just an example. Every player is equally important in every game. You cant see everything that goes on when you always watch where the ball is.
@@egoi6421 if you think 1 player can't win a team a game then your haven't seen Leo and Cr7 up till 2018 or you have forgotten.
Bro ,no footballer can win a game on their own , your standard is lying , team sport needs every player contribution to make it work ,
Not until he scores less than 25 goals. Now we should expect 25 or more until he reaches an age like 32. Personally I think he’s a striker that will reach 600 goals in his career, he’s already very close to 300, but does get more injuries than the average top striker so anything above 600 goals in his career will be insane for me.
Awesome summarisation. Ridiculous to think people still doubt Haaland after what he has achieved already.
I think people forget that Haaland's been carrying an injury since December. Yes he came back in February, but it was clear to see that he never fully recovered, hence his movement and other parts of his game were way off it.
now he’s finally back in the most important part of the season and has made the last games of the season a breeze
Teams have changed tactics for sure, even towards the later half of last season many had adapted. When he played for Dortmund, he could his skills better. His pace, acceleration, physicality and even dribbling. In the pep system he has a single role that is to position himself correctly. Oftentimes he is a decoy too, where he creates space for the wingers. Yes he has had some misses which are not expected from a player of his class, but he is still scoring more than most strikers in the prem have in their best season in arguably his worst season since joining Dortmund. One of the things Haaland is very good at is improving himself as player throughout the offseason. He was a really bad header when he started playing for Dortmund, but he improved a lot in 21-22 and further in 22-23 at city. So, I won't be surprised if Haaland works more on his finishing or link up play and becomes even more of a beast.
Didn't expect to see an actual good take. I've been saying this too
It's hard to even ask that question when a player has scored 38 goals with two games to go!!!
Messi and ronaldo spoiled us 🐐🐐
I just look at the stats and it's hard to process these numbers.
the only player itw how is probably capable how performing like they did is mbappe, hope he does that at madrid
Thank you for breaking this down so eloquently!!! He’s greatest battle is with his own standards which in a way is a excellence in and of itself
The Messi and CR7 effect is that we go so used to watch those two literal "Gods" pour out insane numbers and fits over the years, getting the bar so high that when we have exceptional players like Mbappe and Haaland, they are met with a "Meh" even when they score ridiculous amounts of goals.
I guess the only thing that we could critize Haaland for is the fact that he is lacking that "Clutch" attribute of been able to carry the team on his shoulders and score that determinating goal in order to win the match when it´s needed. But besides of that, the guy is an absolute monster of a striker.
Possession based football doesn't really bring out the clutchness out of the players because of strict/rigid system of play. You have seen games of city over passing instead of taking risk of shotting outside the box or dribbling pass defenders solo with belief.
Mbappe is miles ahead of haaland as a player.
@@french_toast223so is messi against Ronaldo, if u have watched them even once it’s pretty clear who’s the better footballer , but numbers speak, that’s the only reason haaland is compared to mbappe. No shade to Ronaldo btw I’m a fan of both of them, I just like messi better
@@french_toast223 What does that even have to do with this comment? If you'll ride Mbappe, do it somewhere else.
@@aniruddhadey1469 who is better player Neymar or pre injury Ronaldo
Bro, love the content. Can you make a video on what's happening with the Bayern manager position? I have no clue why they keep getting rejected and a lot of theories are flying around. Would make a great episode. Thanks and keep up the work. You inspire me to get into the RUclips game.
I really love this video
It really demonstrates why I’m never on fan pages or social media
Hyperbolic trash or GOAT conversations without letting people play out their careers
There is no patience in football which always ends up betraying because people are people
Love all your videos. You always know what you are talking about, unlike some other people. Thanks for another banger❤
the hangover from messi and ronaldo era is just beggining
always great videos, you have a flair for this
He has become one of those athletes that people just love to hate for no particular reason at all
Thank you for this video brother. Sane people who actually know about football and are not biased are so hard to find these days
He is still world class and one of the, if not, the best strikers in the world, but he has missed multiple absolute sitters this season, that’s where all this criticism is coming from. I’m talking about goals even Sunday league strikers would score. Tap-ins.
With all that he probably is in top 10 players in the world this season.
I will be honest, the first 3 seconds of this video earned a like and some respect. Looking forward to the rest of thus video 😃
I have been saying it all season long. The criticism towards him is completely over the top. And people are expecting things from him he never did and is not supposed to be
Mate, he was injured for 2 months, and he had no KDB for 7 months, unlike last season.
Still top scorer with 27 Prem Goals.
People who think he is doing poorly are ignorant.
I think a lot people tend to forget that he missed playing competitive for NEARLY 2 months which contributed to his dip in goalscoring. If he don’t miss those 2 months he’d probably be around those 52 goals in all comps he got to last year.
But it wasnt only Haaland that didnt play well. I think the whole team has been different this year. Yes they have won a lot but the play has not been as good as last year in my opinion.
@@egoi6421exactly. excited for next year, hopefully he won’t get another big injury and stays fit cause I really wanna see him get 40 goals especially with city’s new away kit
man city also seems to be planning a big renovation on their midfield with the likes of guimares and musiala possibly
💙Thank you for this video. You are so right. Haaland is a pure strike not all around player. He was buy to be a strike for MC not all around. He also said is not Rodri and his job is to be a strike and be inside the box. And this year because of Pep's tactic Haaland play style is to be a strike that score much for MC and also be the one that must get attention from 3-4 defender on him to make space for other in team to score.so
The main point was lost between the lines. Haaland is criticized because he can break one record after another without being as good overall as the other players. This irritates some people. Somehow Haaland is not allowed to reinvent football this way. Football suffers from orthodox fans.
Spot on
Most sensible about Haaland. I completely agree in your reasoning. There are so many ways to play the game, and there are so many different strenghts to play on. Haaland definitely have remarkable qualitites but like all players have his ups and downs compared to himself.
Why do people think growth is linearly
This is such a fair video on Haarlands assignment this season, watch Haarland go on a rampage next season too
Wow Thank You For A Great Commentary on Haaland Your spot on ! Haaland is a wonderful young man that brings joy to the game and is truly loved He’s smashed records and I believe like many others He should have won the Ballon de Or last year ! He’s not Messi or Renaldo but he’s the 22 year old young man that destroyed the premier league in his first season and as long as I live I can say I witnessed one of the greatness players in football history ! What a Wonderful young man he is ! May God bless him and his family always
It's such a mystery to see why Borussia Dortmund aren't winning the Bundesliga when they had the likes of Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham. The 2020-21 squad was so stacked that they should have to challenge with the indomitable Bayern Munich side, who were too reliant on Robert Lewandowski, former Borussia Dortmund players. Now, without those 2 players, they are somehow in the Champions League Final, still relying on old guards like Mats Hummels, Marco Reus, and the returning Sancho.
1 word depth. Good starters but no one to come off the bench when others weren't good. Especially in defense, board is too slow to trim
All of his critics were drooling when he was at Dortmund.. begging for him to join their clubs. He’d be great at Real Madrid.
He's already great at City. He doesn't need RM.
@@SomethingSomewhereJustOnce Clearly he does.
Real Madrid counter attack style suits him way more than City Possession football.
Its true he scored a lot at city but i'm sure he would be a great fit for Real and Real actually need a Proper Striker.
The best striker in the world only gets criticised because he plays for City, simple as. He's going to win the golden boot for a second season in a row scoring at least 27 goals and this is an off season for him? If he was playing for Liverpool, United or an Arsenal then he'd be getting praised non stop
First season record breaking 😂 that treble season set citys bar so high 😂. Suffering from success. Haaland was out injury and of course out of form for few games. But hes still the dangerous threat that he is. Ask madrid 😂. Even when he doesnt put nunbers he always has defenders on his back. City's squad is just that good they still win everything. Cant wait for next season with hopefully amazing transfers competing in CL 🙏
For me it's less about the talent, and more about the role, as well as moments.
Haaland is an out & out striker, so the expectation of an all-round play is your problem, not his.
If he adds more clutch moment to his career, he'd be more reverred; but let's not act like there's significantly more he or a coach can do to add to his game.
Nobody's doubting that he isn't extremely effective at what he does. But as a football fan, it's just ugly to watch him play. Most of his goals are just ugly. But hey, sure, if I was a City fan, I wouldn't care either. I get it.
The system Haaland’s plays in should also be examined too. Pep’s even higher line this season combined with slow methodical buildup play sucks space out of the opposition half that Haaland would operate in, let alone 18yrd box as it gives the opposition plenty of time to reset their defense and flood the box. We saw this illustrated perfectly with the Real Madrid game 2nd leg. Yes Rudiger did an outstanding job on Haaland but Peps high line and slow buildup didn’t do him any favors either.
Add in the fact that most City players (save KDB and Foden) are gun shy in attempting riskier passes to Haaland for fear of losing the ball, and Peps system seems to nullify Haaland’s skills that defenses can struggle with, especially when playing a low block side. Again, this was perfectly illustrated in the 2nd leg of the Real game.
I wonder what Haaland’s goals would be if he played for a team that was better well suited to play primarily to his strengths instead of in a more marginal capacity like City. Yes they create a boatload of chances, but, frustratingly, seem to limit the ways they can utilize Haaland thereby making it slightly easier for defenses to defend against him. Perhaps if City’s system would allow for a few more attempts with thru balls and balls over the top when Haaland breaks the line, it would make them more multidimensional in the attack and allow Haaland to score more? In the few times we ve seen thru balls to Haaland, he’s used them to devastating effect…
Hey Adrian, I am looking forward to a Barcelona video, the absolute circus that is going on at that club. Please make a Rabona TV classic (40 min) long video. Please. 💞
Im pretty sure he is still fire it's just teams are very aware of him as they should be.
Imagine him in this Dortmund team right now. Would be lethal with adeyemi, sancho,matsen
Don't forget Bellingham as well, if he didn't move to Real Madrid and try to beat his former club in the upcoming UCL Final.
In sports in general, if players have been followed for their entire careers, they tend to get criticized more if they don’t meet the unreasonable expectations of their fans. However, when a player pops up out of nowhere these types of players tend to get a lot more praise, despite performing at the same level, or worse than the player that’s been in the spotlight for years.
amazing vid!
People need to be conscious of the beef between Roy Keane and Håland's father. It's not the first time Keane has been slagging Håland. Keane seems to just be out to create doubt in Håland's mind, he's still bitter towards his father.
But imagine someone being injured for a bunch of games, and being kinda off his game and goal dry for a while there too, yet is still the top scorer in the biggest league in the world.
And then factor in that this season, even more so than last season, every team has put two players on Håland to stop him. Making it much tougher for him to even touch the ball. But even when he doesn't touch the ball he does a good job, because he weakens the defence of the opposition by forcing them to allocate more of their resources on him. So even if he hadn't scored goals he'd still do an important job for the team. Yet he still scores the most goal, despite everything else.
We also shouldn't expect a player who is towering the others at almost two meters to possess incredible finesse. That's not physically feasible. We'll look towards Ødegaard for that, at least us here in Norway(hence my weird letter when spelling "Haaland").
He's no Messi, but he doesn't have to be. Messi is Messi, Håland is Håland.
Haaland is very similar profile to Zlatan, like he has speed, the physicality, but he is not a target man, or a poacher like Inzaghi for example, he is little bit more general, I think that we should wait for some years before we see the final version of him.
I think the problem isnt the numbers. Its his presence against the big teams. I mean he really disappears in some of the big matches. If they know how to handle him defensively he is done. Ronaldo and messi are built different. Its difficult to contain those.
Reverse his goal tallies.
This seasons and last seasons.
He will be considered great and praised in both.
He showed his peak, everything is looking stale in comparison.
In isolation, dammm THAT MANY GOALS.. THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED FROM A STRIKER
Haaland would be killer at Madrid. Vini Haaland backed by Jude with a dream pairing, but wont happen now since Real have probably already signed Mbappe. Haaland I feel is best for teams like Dortmund , Madrid more than possession based teams like Barca, City etc
This is the kind of analysis that the majority of the football fan base needs to hear.
It’s interesting that German Cano of Fluminense (who pretty much equaled Haaland’s goals with less games last season iirc), also has had a drastic decrease in performance this season.
Foot injuries carried thru, no doubt.
Very nice video of the haaland effect
He's pretty good and will be for many more years to come. Hot take, he's a goal machine.
Funny thing is that if haaland was just a bit better converting chances this season he would easily be on course to break his goal record in the league last season
When you tops the class one year people 'expect' you to do it everytime. Expectations kills.
Urm.... Yea he has regressed.... His build up outside the box has actually gotten worse, admittedly it's an eye test, but he looses the ball way to much and his hold up play should be miles better for someone his size... Martinez man handled him in the final for example. Missing against arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, rarely one for the big games.
He’s had 7 weeks out from a injury, it’s not surprising
Exactly thank you, Both Mbappe and Haaland are great players and both of them will retire as legends of their generation, but they don`t need to be the next Messi or Ronaldo to be future legends of the game.
city needs to play more through balls to him like they did in the wolves game
Exactly, that suits his playstyle.
In big games, they take a conservative approach, and dont take that risk.
It’s simply because prem heads can’t handle that a player from another league came in and still put up high numbers.
meanwhile his current season rn is still better then other great strikers in the pl then they ever had
Nope. It’s the City way. Pep and City don’t really use a 9 the way 99% of every other club and manager use them. Håland has served his purpose to ease their way but due to his physique and the way City play aren’t a fit. That he has succeeded there is proof of his talent.
Another country? He was born in Leeds, compared to South Americans who arrive not knowing a word of English I cant imagine the culture shock or langauge barrier being too great.
He has lived with and in the Norwegian culture with two Norwegian parents. No doubt about it.
When Haaland Jr heard Roy Keane speaks about him, he should rather take his word for a grain of salt because he know himself how eager Roy Keane want to see Halaand Jr failed.
I’m a Liverpool fan and I hate man city but sheesh I hate what people saying about haaland ! Like what else do you want from GOAL SCORER , I get the general play thought process, but still
You've suffered from Nunez
Regressed? LOL! Some people….
KDB has been injured half the seaaon and Haaland was also injured for 7-8 games. KDB is usually the only one who supplies Haaland with passes, so he has had way less support/supply this season and been ignored a lot more. Still he has scored 27 PL goals (5 assists) in 30 games. He has scored 38 goals (6 assists) in 43 games this season.
He has been involved in 76 goals (63 goals) in 64 Premier league games for City,
Since coming to City he has been involved in 95 goals in 95 games! Still people critisize him…and he is still only 23.
So far im his career he has been involved in 276 goals on 278 games.
How many goals could he have scored if he was given more supply and KDB and himself not being injured the periods he has. He would have probably beaten last years record.
….and, so far in his career he has been involved in 276 goals in 278 games!
What is Sophomore season?
second year.
you clearly don't watch full Man City games regularly. He's my least favourite player in our team, and all of your points are flawed
2 golden boots in two years when the most ever is 4, he's making other strikers look average. Not Salah though as he's a winger who scores as much as strikers so he's on another level to the guys stood infront of goal.
Hes not supposed to be a mid field play maker hes an out and out striker it his job to put the ball in the net and thats what he does. If premier teams could play a league 2 striker up front and only pay them £10,000 a week then they would but they wouldnt score so they dont
Thanks for addressing the fact that ronaldo and Messi is beyond halland level at the moment
It's pretty obvious
Haaland isnt an allrounder like cr7 or messi, but is a great striker.
As a RM fan i would have preffered him instead of Mbappe, as we need a proper No 9
he hasnt regressed , teams know you need to stop the passess to haaland to take him out of the game
His literally the target man😂
yes Haaland is underperforming very slightly, not just because he played less, but also because he played a couple of matches BEFORE he was back at 100%, and yes of course it's easier for him when KDB is playing, KDB missed over half the season, and is still going to be the second best giver of assists
St Pauli beat Haaland on the dfb Pokal, so let's give the last st Pauli report, we are champions! Our first professional trophy on the modern era!!!!!! Thank you for listening to this silly reports, see you next season, hopefully we get to stay on the top tier.
He is a finisher, a perfect 9. Stop pretending him to magically switch to Messi with playmaking, dribbling, and scoring. He is still 23, and I do think under guardiola he has improved his overall game. He has at least 10 years as a top player and I do believe he can become a luis suarez type of all round 9 after years of working on his game
It’s not just a not yet at least, it’s a never. They will never be Messi or Ronaldo. Because no one will ever match them, it’s impossible.
Not really, but he is a very VERY one-dimensional player. He's a striker and nothing else. Like, really, NOTHING else. He's bad at winning duels, he doesn't add anything to the game flow, he's not a great dribbler, he's literally just at right spot at the right time and is a clinical finisher. Now you can say he's so good at that, that it doesn't matter. And in many games, it doesn't. But what we've seen this season, is that in some games against certain, tha's just not enough.
Fun fact, in Norway 2 a's after each other is pronounced as "aw", so you really should pronounce it as "HAWLAND"
His goal per game ratio is almost the same as last season. His total goals are less because he has less games. So I can't understand all the hate.
All the other teams just learned how to counter him
Keane wasn't keen on Haaland's father and likely not him as well. Where's his offspring? Haaland has, hopefully, a long career. Let's see it out. Cheers from Edmonton.
💯
i think he is hated because of his ability to ghost in big games
no one expects him to have messi ronaldo level of clutch moments but he fails to perform for both club and country when it matters the most like you don't always have to be a clutch player but you still need to have a few clutch moments, especially when your biggest competitor has a wc final hattrick
even messi and ronaldo have had plenty of bad games but they had plenty of clutch moments also
di maria is loved by the fans because he has a few clutch goals or amazing games in important finals, same with drogba
So.
Haaland scores 38 goals n statistically. He's underperforming! SCARY💀
Roy will be hating the Haalands’ for the next 10 generations from his grave 😭
Salah has also won two consecutive golden boots (2017-18, 2018-19)
6:05 I get what you’re saying Adrian, but let’s be completely honest, Man City had BY FAR the easiest group stage teams this year. Unless anyone wants to argue that RB Leipzig, Young Boys and Red Star Belgrade stood a chance against Man City.
Knowing Keane, I'd say it's disrespectful towards Haaland. The man's just a petulant child who says any ridiculous thing to get attention.
Haaland our CF is the best thing we had since Rodri ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
Your content is great..
Unless it's your job, non city fans don't care.
He’s scoring better goals this season than last season
There is a reason why Keane is not a manager right now
