Happy Blue Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 38 minutes ago, Gunnersaurus said: This may be a dumb question but does Haaland do a lot of he doesn't get a goal or an assist? Maybe as an all round player he isn't the best but when you score that many goals it doesn't matter. @Happy Blue Are man city playing very open this season so they can get the ball to him? They have conceded alot of goals but it doesn't matter if you score that many We have only conceded 9, 1 more than you lot. the problem is all the injury's we have with defenders going back to the end of last season, Laporte's first game today since last season, Walker, Dias, Stones out injured and missing Rodrigo and Phillips out too. defence will be fine when we get these players back, Ake and Akanji where brilliant yesterday, they wouldn't of scored 3 if them 2 had stayed on, Akanji looks like our best CB at the minute, what a steal he was As for Haaland we are playing the same as always but putting alot more crosses into the box instead of trying to walk the ball into the net, we are playing to Haaland's strengths, such a joy to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev has been unreal so far, think it's 8 assists already, he just needed a clinical striker to finish off the chances he makes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeKhrush Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 City have the most enviable attack with two of the probably current top 5 players in the world and the players around them are easily all in the top 20-25 range. The issue that City seem to have is when teams stop the onslaught and go the other way, they do seem easy to score against and in Europe it takes another Real Madrid to knock them out because the margins are so small. If this is peps last season, i would be concerned who will take over. Pep is almost impossible to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poch maybe? I think it will be even more damaging if Txiki leaves his sporting director role and goes back to Barcelona. He laid the foundation for Pep to be a success at City. That being said, if Pep does leave without a Champions League at City, I wonder how much it will damper his reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never won the CL at Bayern and that never hurt his reputation, if he retires without winning a CL with another club he will be remembered for the Barca team he inherited and gave them his style of play and bought it to Man City that made @Happy Blue cream his pants.

OrangeKhrush Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Haaland is certainly a beast but I still think Aguero was the better player in that he could produce the unbelievable. The Pellegrini era team was scarier, they were impossible to breakdown with Kompany at the back, and with Yaya, Aguero, Silva they had players that could produce magic when it was needed.

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted October 3, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted October 3, 2022 Pep's worst enemy is himself. He shoots himself in the foot whenever he gets to the end of the line and although one would think someone like Haaland can be a differentiator for goals it's really that midfield where he loses the big games. They have a genuine shot at the CL this year, but I still feel he'll fall short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he isn‘t scoring, I suppose he is occupying the defence as his movement and positioning is unreal, it is harder to mark a player like Foden when Haland is a threat. He’d probably be great at defensive corners given his athleticism. Well I just googled his Norway record and he has 21 in 23 games I was gonna ask can he create chances for himself but I guess that answers the question. I suppose you ask what he does of the ball and how much he increases his chances of his team winning if he doesn't score or assist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
