He broke the premier league scoring record in his first season, he won city their first ucl. Won the treble. He has 13 goals in 12 games this season. Excluding ballondor and that, how can ANYONE not drool for Haalands goalscoring ability. This is coming from a Liverpool fan that cant believe the standard of talk around this player.

    Is he that good? he barely scores against really good teams… Look at Real Madrid or Inter. Not even a single shoot on goal. Same in Wolfes game… he can create, he only sits and waits for ball. He is far from the best still…

    Cause the way goes about achieving the above mentioned feats is extremely unattractive or at the very least banal to most people.

    Possibly because he’s doing it for a team that have been cheating financially for years and are also owned by a human rights abusing state.

    I think he’s been good but he’s playing for a stacked team that most likely cheats so it’s hard to go insane over him. What he’s doing is basically living up to the expectations. He needs to do much more for it to be insane.

    Last year everyone certainly was. This year it seems to be more of a “yeah, of course he did that, he’s phenomenal.”

    For me, Haaland is great but he’s essentially doing it in a manufactured billion pound squad, so it’s expected.

    Haaland scoring what he has at Arsenal or Tottenham or Villa etc would be astounding. At City it’s just the work of a limitless machine.

    Some of his misses tho this season wow. Some people just see goals in football and literally nothing else. The same people who would say van nistelrooy was better than Henry.

    Didn’t realise he won them the UCL, wonder how the rest of the squad feel knowing they didn’t contribute massively.
