If he plays like that most weeks there will be nothing to insult with him. His hold up play was better than usual, and his defensive headers were brilliant. He showed more than just a capacity to score.

Of course, we must give the caveat it was against United, and everyone looks good against them. But if he can produce that hold up play most weeks there will be no criticism from me.

It will get less praise than the first touch and finish on weaker foot, but the little pass in a crowded area to set Reijnders away was absolutely world-class. Without that the move does not materialise.

Really nice to see him improve his all-round game so I don't need to criticise it. Let's hope he keeps it going. It has been better for a while now.

Barcelona are understood to be seeking a world-class striker to eventually replace Lewandowski, and within the club Haaland is considered the ideal profile. Yet any potential pursuit is fraught with challenges, not least City’s financial stance. As cited by Sporten, the English champions would demand a minimum of 150 million euros in cash merely to open discussions regarding his transfer.

This would be more of a flop than Coutinho and Dumbele combined if he ever comes to Barca for such a ridiculous price tag.

Beating up on weaker teams, which is what you need in these qualifiers where there's minnows and goal difference is the tiebreaker.

It's mainly because of him (and a few others) that their goal difference is so so good and they probably can afford to lose by three or four goals to Italy in the final game and still qualify 9as long as they beat estonia).

There are very few "weaker" teams - Sweden for example fuck everything up against "weaker" teams. They have two #9 that were just sold for almost 300M and they can't fight their way out of a wet paper bag. Haland is the shit, Isak/Gyo are worthless in comparison...

Come off it, teams like Moldova, Estonia and even Israel should be losing heavily when there's someone like Haaland who is an unreal goalscorer.

It's harder for pragmatic teams like Italy to hammer teams like that - but teams with guys who specialise in scoring loads of goals (Haaland, Ronaldo) destroy these teams on a regular basis.

There's loads of minnows in UEFA who lose by multiple goals and always have, denying that is denying reality. Just because other strikers don't beat up on them doesn't mean they aren't weak.

I don't care about Isak or Gyokeres and don't even rate either that highly so not sure why you brought that up. They don't have the hunger to pad their stats against these teams like Haaland and Ronaldo do too. Unless you are telling me Isak is incapable of scoring against Moldova or Estonia?
