Even as a Newcastle fan I find some of these comments embarrassing 😅 Isak is world class but Haaland is simply in a class of his own. At the start of the season Isak was struggling just like Haaland is now. The difference is that at Newcastle your not under the spotlight
I think the difference is that Isak can make a goal happen for himself. Haaland needs to be fed, touched the ball four times against Liverpool in the first half. One of them from kick off
@mhrlr8945 Haaland can definitely make a goal for himself I have seen him do it plenty of times for Dortmund. Most of the goals Isak has scored recently were put on a plate for him by Murphy. Whenever someone like Haaland pops up there is always people desperate to slag him off
He didn’t stop us winning the league. We stopped ourselves from winning the league. All we had to do was beat Aston Villa and not drop silly points on other games. We took Man City to the very last day, Haaland didn’t stop us.
I genuinely question the football IQ of people who are actually blaming Haaland. Strikers rely on service. It doesn’t matter if you’re a striker playing for City, Brighton, West Ham, or Southampton. All strikers require teammates who actually provide service. The problem with Haaland is increasingly not him but his teammates. Because if you actually objectively watch City it’s very clear what the actual problem is for Haaland. He’s playing with teammates like Grealish, Silva, Doku, Savinho, Walker, and Gvardiol who absolutely refuse to play first time balls into space or into the box when Haaland is clearly in great positions to score. It’s getting to the point of absurdity now. Instead, Pep has brainwashed these players into constantly predictably passing backwards and sideways on repeat. And every time that happens it allows opposing defenders to reset and get back into position. And the yard or two of space advantage that Haaland creates evaporates. Haaland is clearly getting fed up with his teammate if you watch him off the ball and I don’t blame him at all.
Wow!!! Wow!! I love your analysis because I feel like I am the one who wrote it. I always feel bad when I see City players holding the ball so long until the opponent settles and any pass to Haaland they can just easily see it coming. We all know Pep is one of the best managers in the World but sometimes I think his attitude hurts the team. I looked some of goals Aguero scored and I say if City was playing like the way they're playing today, he would have never scored those goals. Kyle Walker gets the ball and stupidly points to the opponent where exactly he's going to put the ball. What do they do at the training that he has to advertise to his opponents where exactly he's going to put the ball for Haaland. Haaland was scoring goals when KDB and him knew exactly where the ball will be put and finds him right there. That's when he becomes very effective. Then City wingers get the balls and dribble so much until they either lose the ball or pass it backwards. And if they lose the ball with opponents long passes, you'll find 2 City defenders against 4 opponents.
But that’s the point that’s being made in the argument of him vs these other great strikers is that they could still generate chances for themselves when the service wasn’t there by going on individual runs with the ball far from goal. Haaland can only score chances with a low degree of difficulty where he doesn’t need to do any technically difficult build-up work like other great strikers of the past did. Even in the present a guy like Isak can pick up the ball by half-field, dribble past 2-3 players to score his own goal when he doesn’t get any service. So could great strikers of the past, Haaland can’t do that and that’s why he looks like a fish out of water now when he isn’t being served up on a silver platter anymore.
@marcelo1458 You need to go and watch the old videos of Haaland playing for Borussia Dortmund. He used to run with the ball from the midfield and end up scoring. That isn't how Pep plays and that could be really frustrating for him if those who are supposed to supply him chances don't do so and the manager wants him in the box. How many times have you heard Harry Kane being blamed for doing exactly that? Infact they usually referred to Harry Kane as a combo of 9 and 10. Pep should come up with a play plan which can fit Haaland and enable him to score more goals.
@marcelo1458 Like the other person on this thread said, you need to actually go back and watch Haaland at Dortmund and Salzburg. Because the City version of him is being limited by Pep’s extreme possession system. A lot of people don’t realize Haaland is probably the single most dangerous striker in space and in the counterattack at the elite level. We’ve seen glimpses here and there of that version of Haaland with City. But Pep’s extreme possession system is taking Haaland too much out of the match. Which is a real shame. If Haaland played for Liverpool or Tottenham right now people would be seeing him at his very best.
@garywallace5602 How is it fluke when we deserve to be where we are in table? Only fluke was time of you getting Top 4 one season and finish bottom in Champions League group stages now that is fluke.
It’s not a difficult conversation.. He’s an elite finisher but not a world class player, two things can exist at once. In yesteryears there were many strikers that offered far more than he does in all facets of the position but because his scoring feats are usually what’s highlighted then that’s what puts him ahead of most people’s conversations. If you took your head off the stat sheet and watched a game purely off the eye test, you’d see he’s got plenty deficiencies. Again, supreme finisher.. Not in the best ever. Also, as a player Isak is fundamentally better and far more dangerous individually.
Exactly... Lineker was an elite finisher with fantastic inbox movement. But even he would argue that he was limited in other areas. Suarez was a better all round player & better No9 at his peak.
I cant remember a world class striker having dry patches as long and as bad as Haaland has had in past 2 seasons. He's either scoring 1 or 2 per game or scoring nothing for 3 months
Haaland is great when he has service and he is great when the opposition isnt playing a low block. At Dortmund, Haaland was the best in the world at being on the last defenders shoulder and making runs in behind. The timing of his runs combined with his speed and strength made him unstoppable at Dortmund. Unfortunately, the way that city plays, means there is rarely room in behind for Haaland to exploit. Instead, City have been providing him with unbelieveable service.. up until a couple months ago. That has dried up, and so has his goals. Haaland isn't a tiki taka striker, he's big, he doesnt work well in small spaces. But the lack of football iq by the presenters and the callers is comical, they do not have a clue. Haaland has literally been a goal a game player wherever he has played.
Clowns comparing Haaland to other strikers in league is crazy. Man he hasn't scored for weeks now but he's still the top scorer amongst all the strikers in the EPL. Stop watching only the EPL to judge players. Go back and watch Haaland at Dortmund and shut up. He plays this way because pep wants him to play that way.
Never heard so much nonsense in one video, give your heads a wobble he’s a treble winning record goal scorer and you lot think ole Watkins and teddy Sheringham is better 😂
You have to be in the right position to be a tap in merchant ,,and to be in the right place all the time isnt a coincidence its an art,,,,if you dont play and understand football then you would never no
As a chelsea fan i wouldnt take haaland in a million yrs. He plays for himself, no one else. Without a supply from his midfield hes shite, he cant make anything himself. I hope he stays at city for his entire career.
@@garywallace5602 What about Nunez yeah hasn't worked out for him, but doesn't change the fact Salah has outscored every centre forward in premier league including your Isak. 😂
Suarez eats Haaland's Lunch.... Suarez nearly carried a poor Liverpool side with a trash defence to a title if it wasn't for old man Gerrard's slip... Go see how badly the team did following season when Suarez moved to Barca & helped Messi & co win a treble. Suarez made Liverpool 20% Better
I have never been a massive fan of haaland, he only scored what he did because he got so many chances similar to sterling he had so many chances per game his numbers are what they are.
So basicaly saying all have to give him the ball and he stands in the box and score??!! Lewy a Klopp groomed player is much better than this Haaland. This guy is a flop and has scored only when he is surrounded by world class players.
depends on the assist, ultimately you need to watch the games & this season Salah has been the best, Isak having a good year & Saka Palmer have continued with great form but Haland can out score all of them even without being well rounded so if you rate goals over all, he may still win the golden boot, just depends who City get in January, might decide against it in fears of relegation following the legal battle
dont worry if he stays in the prem haaland he will treble tierry simple he walked in the prem scored 56 goals and won the treble 43 goals in 34 cl games for city 101 in 105 stick that in your pipe he was bought to win the treble which aquero could not do fact he did it for 51m quid 4 peek treble 56 goal season and still 23 ...and on would you have him the only clubs who could get him are mcfc and real madrid the rest no chance
80 goals in 80 games.... these jokers r crazy
stat padding, how many hatricks in games already done? How many of those goals actually counted and won games

I get Arsenal fans not liking Haaland since he stopped them winning the league twice in a row.
I'm an Arsenal fan and this guys take on Haarland is absolutely foolish.
He didn’t stop us winning the league. We stopped ourselves from winning the league. All we had to do was beat Aston Villa and not drop silly points on other games. We took Man City to the very last day, Haaland didn’t stop us.

Haaland plays the way Guardiola wants him to play.
Isak best in the league
Yet top goalscorer & assist is Mo Salah who's RW
Recent bias , he goes missing now, watch !
Salah plays for Liverpool, in a flukey season where City and Arsenal are doing their best to hand you the title!
@garywallace5602 How is it fluke when we deserve to be where we are in table? Only fluke was time of you getting Top 4 one season and finish bottom in Champions League group stages now that is fluke.
@lfcspectre4335salah isn’t a striker
Laughable he's scored every where he's an incredible talent and all these haters would have him instantly in there team
I wouldn't have zippy in my team.
@Kevin-s4w3p course not a goal a game striker nah thanks ill take a rashord lol
Isak scores 100 goals in this City team
Erm.. What,
@Macleodcityblue if Isak played in this city team he'd have 100 goals.
What does that even mean? @@ChristopherTucker138
Isak is the best striker in the league.

He is being humbled😅
Most.comment.against.Haaland are from footbal fans who hate City and by.extention Haaland,the truth is he is the best striker no debate a bout it.😂
He’s far from just a tap in merchant but make no mistake about it, Isak is the best striker in the league
I cant remember a world class striker having dry patches as long and as bad as Haaland has had in past 2 seasons. He's either scoring 1 or 2 per game or scoring nothing for 3 months
True. The longest he's gone without a goal is his current four full 90s, and everyone knows there are only four games every three months.
What? Theres loads of world class strikers that went through dry patches.
Watkins better than haaland these clowns are on the calls ,dont have a clue about football

He reminds me of Mario Jardel - absolute machine but 100% needs the service or he looks like a ghost. Imagine if you swapped him and Darwin Nunez.
Haaland would be on 25 goals already if he played for Liverpool this season
Haaland would struggle 20 yrs ago,he'd be like Jan koller lol
He's got 74 in 86, that's all you need to know
We all respect henry but hes not messi.Watkins is not close to haaland this is a joke lol
He breaks any league goal scoring record if you gear the system towards his strengths.
Tell the bloke on the left to close his mouth when he breathes
Thank you! It’s disgusting but I’m sure im going to hear of a medical condition that prevents him from closing it. A drool machine
Wow.... Watkins better than haaland is crazy 😂😂😂
If it's so easy to score tap-ins, then why are Arsenal not doing it?
Haaland has more than double the number of international goals than Andy Cole has caps 😂😂
Premier League is hard and he broke all the records they have in a single season😂😂
The purpose of playing footbal is to score goals and win a trophy, which Haaland has achieved.
If its that easy why doesn't everyone do it?
Never heard so much nonsense in one video, give your heads a wobble he’s a treble winning record goal scorer and you lot think ole Watkins and teddy Sheringham is better 😂
Haaland isn't a great footballer, he's a great striker!!! I think they're merging the two
You have to be in the right position to be a tap in merchant ,,and to be in the right place all the time isnt a coincidence its an art,,,,if you dont play and understand football then you would never no
I've said it for years, hes a more rotund Peter Crouch..... minus the skill.
Olly Watkins better than Haarland? Hes not even close.
Professional tap in artist? So... A great striker then. 😂
As a chelsea fan i wouldnt take haaland in a million yrs. He plays for himself, no one else. Without a supply from his midfield hes shite, he cant make anything himself. I hope he stays at city for his entire career.
Haaland scores some crazy tap ins !
Not in thw best of form, but he's not getting much service at all.
Haaland's not even an Emile Heskey!
Alexander Isak not even an Ali Dia!
Liverpool have Nunez. Newcastle have Isak...I'll let you work it out!
