haaland def lacks some basic skills that uses his physicality but his presence alone helps other players around him. "main job" is different for each manager/tactics. the main job of a false 9 is to create space and the main job of a traditional 9 is to score. to say "apart from his main job as a striker" is just showing the lack of tactical knowledge in modern football. and no, im not a fan.. this is coming from someone who wants both of those teams to fail lol

I still remember the time, when a good striker was a good striker, because he scored goals. Now people want a good striker to be a playmaker, crosser, first defender, ball holder, dribbler and an upfront ball distributor, ofc next to being a clinical finisher inside and outside of the box...let the guy just score goals and be happy, man.

I think the disrespect to Håland is a microcosm of the fact that nobody respects Manchester City. He’s a freak goal scorer who could do this for any team in the world and he should be respected as such. I think the one argument that you could use against him is that his lack of involvement in big games points to how elite teams might be figuring him out, but it’s much too early to fully make a judgement like that

Just because he isn't spraying passes across the pitch doesn't make him a bad player.

Messi and Ronaldo basically destroyed the idea that the striker should be the source of goals in a team, instead putting focus on the wings.

For that reason I feel strikers like Lautaro Martínez, Harry Kane, and Oli Watkins are better this season but that does not mean Haaland is not world class. His contributions are critical in City being so dominant. His presence alone in causing a threat and luring defenders creates many goals other City players score. He fits perfectly into the City system because he does the best at finishing chances created by his midfielders that other strikers would not be as good at.

Sad that people are upset about how he scores, as a poacher. He isn't the only player to get the ball or chances to score, yet he scores when he does. I don't think anyone thought he was going to run a gauntlet of defenders like Messi. Its not like he became this player all of a sudden. He plays just like he did with Dortmund. He is awesome at it. Keep it up kid, don't listen to the jelly or the haters. Mbappe and him will be the next duo and the old folk are getting upset about that. I'm 54 and see it that way. Personally not a fan of their teams, but enjoy watching a good game and they deliver.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't score in any match, so long as someone else does. It's a team game, so if he's being double teamed, it opens up chances for his teammates. He remains the biggest threat to any defence in the league.

Those pundits criticizing him are jealous.

Obviously not exactly the same, but this reminds me of when people were saying the Detroit Lions were better without Calvin Johnson. Most of "sports media" say stupid things on purpose, which sure doesn't help the mouth breathers in the general public. Instead of looking deeper than the basic stat line, and even considering the question of, "Why has this amazing player seem to have fallen off," (Megatron and Haaland consuming the attention of the the entire defense for example), they just talk about how they suck. It's maddening. Anyway, great video, Ped!

i will take him any day. he is a goal scorer, and he does that well.

People are getting mad at Haaland for doing his job. People say he scores tap ins , But in reality, he scores with his left , right foot and head. Pep wants him to be a finisher / someone who can finish chances as he has elite shooting and physique to fend of defenders. In the box, his finishing is second to none as shown in his debut season . he is a generational talent as seen by his pure goal scoring ability. Although , he can improve in many ways ( dribbling, passing) he does his job to score goals exceptionally well and he does not deserve all this unecessary slander - put some respect on his name - his job is not easy- don't act as if anyone can do it because they can't.

People don't respect a pure 9. He does the job and that's all he needs to do, he doesn't need to dribble everyone, Messi has poisoned everyones brain that you NEED to dominate a game to win a game.

Haaland is the target. If you play against ManCity, it is necessary to, first, take Haaland out of the game. Then they have 5 other threats that you can't target specifically. Furthermore, taking Haaland out, creates space for the other players. Even if he can't play with his team, he certainly disrupts the enemy defense, just by being there. Plus, the way Haaland plays is rather unspectacular. He is fast, big, strong, and is good at shooting. Thats why he scores a lot of his chances. People tend to forget how many chances even the best strikers miss out on. Haaland doesn't fail a lot, but also isn't someone that creates a chance out of nothing.

Premier leagues top scorer for 2 seasons out of 2........touch of a god, strong as a bull and a lovely man.

all the hates coz hes a mancity player, thats all, never seen all that when he was at Dortmund, in fact he was genuinely loved when he was there.

I mean, lets be honest here, the big factor for a striker like Haaland is his conversion rate, and if we compare it to other top level strikers like Kane or mbappe, even Salah, it leaves something to be desired. It needs to be ON POINT. Kane and Mbappe are able to playmake as well as score goals, that makes them useful in other areas and Salah is good at opening up play, but Haaland? Off the ball he is not as useful, thus his finish ability needs to be absoloutly on point. I have watched his games this season and he has simply missed so many sitters It has made me wonder if he is truly worth the price city paid for him. The amount of chances city have given him that conversion rate should be higher. Last season he was phenominal, that cannot bedenied, but is that a sign of a good season or a good player? I have my doubts personally. Now I am not saying he is *bad* because i don't think that, he is not a bad striker, but he is in comparison to what people believe he is and compared to other top strikers right now. A tier, not S tier. Another great vid though, thank you. Can't wait to see you cover the Euros.

hes an old school striker who plays as the last guy to touch the ball in offensive moves. he could be seen as a luxury as he isnt in most build ups. his strengths are his speed and power, he can manhandle defenders. he is very dangerous. Man city players may see him as a luxury. i think there is friction in the dressing room about his commitment to build up play. i reckon they are now trying to play without him but even then his presence creates opportunities for other players. defenders cannot leave him unguarded. my criticism is that he is starting to miss alot of chances. that could be down to a lack of confidence especially if players are critical of his team play.

I agree with the point that he doesn't make his presence known against good teams a lot of the times, but in respect of the other criticism. I think people don't count for the fact that Pep is an absolute control freak. Yes, Erling can improve things about his game, of course he can. But if Pep did want him to do a lot of the things people claim he doesn't do, he would be doing them. Jack had an amazing 2022-23 season and Pep literally immediately replaced him, because Doku was bringing something to the table Jack wasn't. So if Pep wanted Erling to do more on the pitch, he would be doing it.

This was very helpful.

This is something that shows just how insane prime ronaldo was , and why he is the GOAT🔥🔥

Halland is still overrated. He still has no skill like Kane or Ronaldo or Mbappe or Messi. He can’t create any chances. What makes him good is his finishing and that is it.

Reminds me of Miroslav Klose. Sometimes all you need is the striker instinct, but nowadays people want 11 players on the pitch that have Messi or Cristiano DNA in them, which would be boring af to watch those matches then.

Dude never made it to my fantasy team at city.

Most of the people who can deliver in big moments aren't playing the same position as Haaland. It's an unfortunate consequence of the position he plays that you're always going to be relatively easy to defend against, especially if you have world-class CBs on your ass as he often does. Wingers and midfielders have a much easier time impacting games because they are afforded more space. I think this needs to be taken into account more when reviewing his performance.
