It's not unheard of. The below all have over 600 career goals.
Gerd Muller, Pele, Puskas, Bican, Eusebio, Di Stefano, Lewandowski, Romario.
Nordic Ghost Yeti | Haaland at City
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Gerd Muller, Pele, Puskas, Bican, Eusebio, Di Stefano, Lewandowski, Romario.
He’s the modern day Fillipo Inzaghi with more pace and power.
Anyone remember when number 9s were an ancient relic of a bygone era and what every club needed were inverted, converted, subverted, inside wide left right full centre half back wingers instead?
Crazy days.
Crazy days.
Not true. He had good stats but the only season he was top 5 (in la liga alone) was 2009/10 season when he was joint second.10/11 and 11/12 he was outside top 5. If you then consider other leagues in Europe, he likely was not even top 10 or 15. This is from whoscored.com.
You are ignoring less successful/ less well known players who were better dribblers.
From my eye test, I'd say 06/07 and 09/10 were his best years interms of take-ons completed. For other seasons in his prime, I'd say probably top 15 or 20 in Europe.
But, obviously, better than the Nordic goal yeti.

I hate to have to defend @Zehner
.. but he’s absolutely right, three dribbles out on the flank, or in midfield is a lot easier than dribbling past a defender to score. There is a difference, even if the stats show something, context is still important.Well, someone got to bump this thread..
1 goal pr 58 mins so far this season

Honey, wake up, Haaland League Season 2 just dropped.
He's probably happy today Pep wasn't in, or else would've been taken off around the 70th min mark.
He's going to end up reaching 100 PL goals before Rashford, isn't he? Despite Rashford having a 7 season headstart!Well, someone got to bump this thread..

Rashford is a winger not striker.
He's lethal vs these rubbish clubs. Should touch 35 PL goals again if he stays fit and KDB returns.
I kinda agree, I think he's somewhere in the middle though.Rashford is a winger not striker.
One of the best boring forwards ever.
More like 40
Another week closer to his departure.
We live in hope that someone will eventually punish these cheating City cnuts, and all of these achievements are stripped from them and their shitty owners.
If UEFA do come in and save the day Haaland would probably just knock in the rebound.
Needs to be an anti cyborg law in the EPL its just unfair
He’s so good he’s bent a team and play style to his will.
If you train centre forwards, the odd one will do this.

Nobody really has a chance if he gets the ball in the box, just drills it bottom corner like it's nothing.
Hes like if you turn the fifa sliders to full, just broken really. Even Ronnie didn't have that kind of form but his all round game was of course better.
Logically a goal may or may not be from assist.
Assist is always a goal
So logically assist is roughly 50% of the goals scored
It's called probability.
If scoring is easy why dont every striker scores boatload to win the game
Did I say scoring is easy? Strawmaning
Assists are rarer based on probability, it is what it is
Still an ugly cnut though
He just explained that the reason that assists are more "rare" is because you cannot get an assist without a goal, but you can get a goal without an assist. Therefore, there can ultimately never be more than equal an amount of assists as there are goals, but that would be impossibly rare.
So it's not more difficult, it's statistically impossible.
Bet you wish you were as ugly as he is
Not really. I prefer being my smashing self.Bet you wish you were as ugly as he is
city play football like an AI generated team would, and Haaland is King Robot
Ok Brad
His scoring doesn't look impressive, all pretty much simple goals but yet he is banging them every week like a maniac. Random thought, but Messi and Ronaldo of 5-8 years ago would brake all goalscoring records in this PL, it would make people question Messi's goalscoring in PL very stupid. Really shame it never happened.
Not taking anything from Halland, since he is still scoring more goals than other strikers, but level of defending is pretty poor, it has to be said.

Yeah right.
The PL is by far the richest League in the world and their teams raid virtually every other club for their best talent but the talent is poor?
OK.
Comparing level of defending and talent?
Based on your argument, Chelsea must be the best club in the world!
The defending in the PL is generally excellent. It’s the strongest league on the planet.
I watch the city vs Fulham game today. Fulham defended very well, they regularly defend very well (recently drew with Spurs and drew 2-2 away at Arsenal with only 10 men.
They kept city at bay for most of the game, only allowed them 7 shots in total but they were clinical and scored 5 goals with the yeti getting 3 of them.
My point is that there is strength in depth in the PL and that scoring lots of goals in the PL is a mark of absolute excellence that stands head and shoulders above similar exploits against the nothing teams that make up the dross that is a large part of the upper league systems in Germany, Spain & France etc.

I am not saying level of defending in other leagues is currently better.
Id agree the defending now in this league is no where near at its strongest compared to the past.
Also haaland is going to love that cl group he's got. The top cl scorer in a season was something like 17 right? Haaland can get close to that just through the group stages if pep isn't stingy to him

Even his scoring patterns are robotic ffs.
So you’re saying that crap defending is gifting high scoring rates to not just the yeti here in the PL but to every high scoring player in every senior league around the planet because the standard of defending is shite everywhere?
You can’t possibly mean that so I must conclude that I’ve misunderstood something, and I apologise for that, but my reading of your words sent me in that direction and it was a surreal journey.
That just confirms he's robot. Needs banning.Even his scoring patterns are robotic ffs.
More like he has perfected his repetoire. He's doing simple basic not fancy things to perfection.
A 0.1sec faster, a bit stronger, always in the right place, reading the ball faster than his marker
He just made it look so effortlessly
Amazing!
Yeah, that's fair.
