Happy Blue 1,901 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 It's probably going to be a slow start again, very little pre season WHU could nick this one ..we need to actually take some risks and play Haaland in this time or drop a few ball's over the top for him to chase instead of choosing a 5yard back pass instead in the shield De Bruyne and Mahrez could of put him through on goal a few times but didn't read his run, it's going to take time to gel The team will prob be the players closest to match fitness, id also start Foden and Alvarez to give us some pace out wide, Mahrez and Greelish can come on when the fullbacks are knackered ..only player out is Laporte, Stone just back so doubt he will play, Ake gets another chance to impress ..bring on Phillips, Gundogan, Greelish & Mahrez in the middle of the 2nd half Ederson Walker - Dias - Ake - Cancelo De Bruyne - Rodrigo - Bernardo Alvarez - Haaland - Foden BENCH:- Ortega, Stones, Esbrand, Phillips, Gundogan, Greelish, Mahrez, Palmer, Delap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if we lose this tbh after seeing us last weekend, depends how ready West Ham are and if we have learned how to pass to Haaland yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to score 40+ if we can get the ball to him more and with space to run, devastatingly quick, CB's got no chance if he's got space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue 1,901 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 FT 2-0 Haaland won MoM. we was a bit sloppy at times, look about 70% match fit. when they learn to use Haaland right he's going to destroy this league as proved today, unlucky to not have a hattrick, what a player we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how Barca can afford him or register him if they get him got to be 70+million in this market, De Jong plus cash is could be the only way, it's a bit late in the window for us to lose a player like Silva too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil-Dick Willie 3,253 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 That second goal is why he's so important IMO. City just didn't have that in their locker the last 2 seasons. Being able to play a long ball through the middle and a beast athletic striker standing on the shoulder ready to blaze through takes me back to Liverpool Torres times.

Correct, we would of drew that game last season trying to tippy tappy the ball into the net instead of playing the long pass for a stud like Haaland to get on the end of with a one touch finish ..if that was Jesus or Sterling they would of taken extra touches and been crowded out by the defence with the ball coming back to midfield again if they didn't lose it so frustrating to watch last season at times ..now we need to adjust and learn where Haaland will make his runs and get the ball too him as much as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That second was a Shearer/Henry esque finish. It’s crazy considering how young he is. City have to change how they play, but if they manage it they will easy get that treble of PL titles and he will top those scoring charts with ease.

City under Pep to this point has never been built around one player. Their success came from the involvement of everyone. I’m very curious to see how they do this season given it’s a complete change of style. Haaland is a brilliant striker but limited in buildup, which has been the basis of City’s attack for years. I think if the team tries too hard to set up Haaland it’s going to get quite daunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick 2,276 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Can’t believe there are people about who think Haaland wouldn’t settle in this league. Putting a top 3 in the world striker in a top 3 in the world team was always going to work out. He’ll score 28-32 goals this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
