Erling Haaland

Deco

Culé since 2005
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.

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.

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.

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.
