That's fair enough
The goals he was scoring and the rate he scores them at provided the data for everyone to believe that. It’s not an outlandish statement to think he would be one of the best or the best in the world in next few seasons.
And he's still getting used to City and the league. A lot of posters in hear will feel silly in a few years.
He’s had 2 one on ones this game already. He needs hardly any space at all to get those chances just due to his speed alone. He makes chances out of nothing from runs no-one else can.
People won't care in a few years because he won't be at City.
He would have more too if people like Foden weren’t so greedy.
He'll get plenty but definitely as much as he used to.
He scored 62 league goals in 67 league games for Dortmund. He’s scored 3 goals in 3 league games for City. All while games like today where he hits the post, misses two one and ones, and constantly gets chances. If he was scoring freak goals I’d get your point but right now he’s scoring at the same ridiculous rate with the same kinds of goals.
Pogba had 7 assist after 3 games last season you can't necessarily extrapolate that, plus city still haven't played any of the big boys yet(I do wonder what his xg has been however).
)Original Ronaldo had similar freak athleticism where he was just bouncing players like they were children, other than that I can't think of anyone who comes close to his mutant physicality, it just looks different when he is at full speed. Maybe a little bit of Adriano?
He’s already had a 40+ goal season for Dortmund.Pogba had 7 assist after 3 games last season you can't necessarily extrapolate that, plus city still haven't played any of the big boys yet(I do wonder what his xg has been however).
From the eye test I think he still has some work to do insay he comfortably hits the 20 goal barrier but I don't think he's anywhere close to having a 30 + goal season or putting up insane peak Messi Ronaldo numbers yet.
Remind me in when the season's over I'll gladly eat up my words if he proved me wrong.
(I definitely hope he doesn't though
He had 2.39 XG in the first 2 games. I reckon he's had at least 1 XG this gamePogba had 7 assist after 3 games last season you can't necessarily extrapolate that, plus city still haven't played any of the big boys yet(I do wonder what his xg has been however).

Like Sancho, Mhiktaryan, Kagawa, all stayed one of the best players in the world once they left Dortmund?
Meant in prem, already said in my previous post that I don't think he's gonna hit those numbers in the prem... yet.
So pretty much where he is at.
I don’t remember any of them doing the things Haaland has managed to do so far in the CL or at international level.
Haaland gets to that pass Longstaff played to Pope just now. His short distance acceleration is just best in the league.
What? Some of them literally played CL finals and semifinals with Dortmund and won the Bundesliga league against mighty Bayern.
Foden could have made it to, if he hadn't turned into a lazy cnut.
goal from nothing? It fell to him 5 yards out. Not like he hit one from 30 yards
Their stats are naff in the CL compared to Haaland.
