Let’s hope the balding process triggers fairly quickly so we can finally see the end of that ridiculous pony tail.Still an ugly cnut though

He’s mostly always poor on the ball when I watch him, still arguably the best player in the world though.He was poor today by his insane standards, but that's 7 goals in 5 games for him already.
I don’t think he can ever be the best player in the world by virtue of the fact he’ll always need his team to be creating good chances for him to be effective. Tighter games like the CL final and FA Cup final he can be a bit of a passenger. Maybe that‘s just me.He’s mostly always poor on the ball when I watch him, still arguably the best player in the world though.
I’m guessing here but I‘d say that he’s probably half decent and could maybe have it in him to score 25 goals in a season . . ;-)Should have had a hattrick today, realistically any half decent striker should be getting 25 a season for City. They dominate the ball in every single game and they're so creative it's ridiculous.
He certainly can be the best at what he does (if he's not that already) but at just turned 23 there's still room for improvement.I don’t think he can ever be the best player in the world by virtue of the fact he’ll always need his team to be creating good chances for him to be effective.

That's probably why Aguero only did it once (26 goals in the 14/15 season) and no other City striker has done it. Because they've never had a half decent striker.....Should have had a hattrick today, realistically any half decent striker should be getting 25 a season for City.

He should have had a hattrick though. He was about as wasteful as I've ever seen him.
Or it’s because Agüero was injured all the time, and usually for long spells. If he wasn’t having to recover for injuries regularly and get up to speed again he would have certainly broken the 30 goal mark at least a couple of times. I’m sure he had a better goals per game ratio than any Premier League striker while he was there?That's probably why Aguero only did it once (26 goals in the 14/15 season) and no other City striker has done it.

Jesus didn't. Aguero scored 26 PL goal only once in 2014-2015 and he was more than a half decent striker. Haaland physically is a beast as a striker.Should have had a hattrick today, realistically any half decent striker should be getting 25 a season for City.

Aguero too much time with injuries. Not denying Haaland is a freak poacher, but younger Aguero was an incredible dribbler as well. Some of his highlights before City were mesmerising. Still Haaland is just a machine.Jesus didn't. Aguero scored 26 PL goal only once in 2014-2015 and he was more than a half decent striker. Haaland physically is a beast as a striker.
OuchHe now has as many goals as our entire team this season.![]()
Yeah Haaland has more goals than United, the same amount as Chelsea, needs a couple more to overtake West Ham/Brentford. Then there is a bit of a jump to catch Brighton/Liverpool.He now has as many goals as our entire team this season.![]()
He might do it this season.Rooney is the derby top scorer with 11 goals in 31 games. Robot here has 5 in 4 and will obliterate that record within a couple of seasons.
We are at the wrong end of every record.He now has as many goals as our entire team this season.![]()
How many does Aguero have?Rooney is the derby top scorer with 11 goals in 31 games. Robot here has 5 in 4 and will obliterate that record within a couple of seasons.
9How many does Aguero have?
Yeah it hardly takes a mental football iq to mark the nordic goalscoring yeti in the box.I'm still bemused about he was left all alone for the 2nd goal considering the free header he had in the 1st
True prime Aguero was more exciting to watch. Despite being playing for a rival club and all.Nothing about him excites me when watching him play. He's a fast bulky and boringly perfunctory Inzaghi.
The fact that city actually score less goals with him than without and that he fails to show up in the big games just shows that he is not even much of a difference maker for his team. In a way, he is the on the pitch representation of city - impressive numbers, but perfunctory, soulless and ultimately meaningless.
I will continue to rate his contributions as less than spectacular. Having a setup of "let's play all balls to this guy and watch him score the goals another teammate would have scored anyway if we played more expansively" may excite the wikipedialists, but does nothing for me.
He's a great goalscorer. Don't see how he adds all that much great to the team.
They finally won the Champions League with him in the side, he adds a lot and if it was so easy for City to do that, maybe they would have done it before now. It was the final piece of the puzzle with all the build-up. Good for you that you don’t rate him but he continues to make a big impact on the teams he plays for, also City don’t do what you say, they don’t just give the ball to him and he’d arguably score more goals elsewhere actually in a more rudimentary system, they still play a lot of football around him but he scores regardless.Nothing about him excites me when watching him play.

In the 7 years prior to last season, They've made it to four quarter finals, two semi-finals and 1 final without him. So that part is easy for them. The only part he played from the quarters onwards was scoring in the quarters once they were well ahead.They finally won the Champions League with him in the side, he adds a lot and if it was so easy for City to do that, maybe they would have done it before now.
The stats show quite clearly that they score less, have less progressive carries and play less vertically when he is in the side. He soaks up the goals, but his presence doesn't actually result in more goals for the team.It was the final piece of the puzzle with all the build-up.

Pep for sure cares less even what City fans said in the forum about tactics and player selection, let alone Redcafe. City won the treble with Haaland in the team.They finally won the Champions League with him in the side, he adds a lot and if it was so easy for City to do that, maybe they would have done it before now.

Pep is also raking meaningless achievements, so of course he won't care.Pep for sure cares less even what City fans said in the forum about tactics and player selection, let alone Redcafe. City won the treble with Haaland in the team.
As long as Pep is happy with Haaland and keep starting him, that's all that matters to Haaland. He just needs to keep scoring goals for City, and keep develop his game around Pep's tactic. His stats for City has been remarkable.Pep is also raking meaningless achievements, so of course he won't care.
The guy nearly put 4 goals past us yesterday and should have had at least a hattrick. He no Van Basten or Ibra with his ability on the ball but as a finisher and powerhouse it’s impressive.Nothing about him excites me when watching him play. He's a fast bulky and boringly perfunctory Inzaghi.

Sure. And I will continue to not rate either's achievements.As long as Pep is happy with Haaland and keep starting him, that's all that matters to Haaland. He just needs to keep scoring goals for City, and keep develop his game around Pep's tactic. His stats for City has been remarkable.
Did you watch the game yesterday? He was easily one of their best playersIn the 7 years prior to last season, They've made it to four quarter finals, two semi-finals and 1 final without him.

What a massive pile of rubbish. City score less goals and also concede less because we play 3cbs and Walker or 4 CBs dependant on who is fit. Peps change in tactics, starting to embrace the physical part of the game and becoming more pragmatic, nothing to do with Erling whatsoever.Nothing about him excites me when watching him play. He's a fast bulky and boringly perfunctory Inzaghi.

I think you are somewhat supporting my point here.Pep has changed City from a team of midgets to defensively tough physical monsters at the expense of attacking flair.
