@Anderson_7_ should I call the ambulance?
No, because he only scored as many goals as Phil Foden, and Foden is worse than Dusan Vlahovic, so he is still a fraud.@Anderson_7_ should I call the ambulance?
World cup year so doubt it, possible he makes the podium though.Haaland surely Balón D’or material come end of season. Too early this year but next.
He really isn’t. He isn’t close to being as good all-round as Ronaldo.I think Haaland is a better version of Cristiano. He's not going to pass Messi, but he'll obliterate Cristiano and all his records
Haaland is an athletic Gerd Müller which is hardly a criticism, but prime Cristiano was more complete.He really isn’t. He isn’t close to being as good all-round as Ronaldo.
Even when we just assess their scoring ability, he’s not better in the air nor is he as two footed or can shoot from range. His pure finishing and movement you can argue is on par but that’s about it.
Agreed. This version of Halaand reminds me of a slightly worse 14/15 Ronaldo when scored 48 league goals and 61 in all comps while assisting a further 22.Haaland is an athletic Gerd Müller which is hardly a criticism, but prime Cristiano was more complete.
In terms of pure goalscoring, he's up there. His freak flying kick goal definitely shows he's not limited, but Cristiano still had those legendary screamers and free kicks. I'm not sure how much it matters though if Haaland continues like this. He's in a perfect setup and he's scoring almost 2 goals a game in the pl. Depressing really for the rest of us.Agreed. I would argue this version of Halaand probably even isn’t as good as 14/15 Ronaldo yet (he’s getting close though) let alone absolute peak CR7.
Even with Haaland for some reason I still don’t think they’ll win it. It’s like a psychological block for them now.If City misses out on the CL this season, I don't know what will make them win it.
As good as City are, they‘re no certainties in knockout competition ….ie bookies rate them 9/4 against to win it this year.If City misses out on the CL this season, I don't know what will make them win it.
Recency bias at its finest. It’s like you didn’t watch Cristiano play at his peak. He seems to be a victim of his own longevity nowadays as people seem to forgot how all round of a player Ronaldo was and not just a striker/poacher like he has been the last few years.I think Haaland is a better version of Cristiano. He's not going to pass Messi, but he'll obliterate Cristiano and all his records
Still legendary:Is this the guy that’s sooo over rated?
I think @Anderson_7_ has requested the mods to close his account down.
White Lukaku is going to get humbled real quick and will be be off to Madrid or Bayern in no time.
City plays football that doesn't suit him at all. He'll struggle to score 10 league goals.
Blimey pipe down. Haaland is an amazing player and time will tell - but Ronaldo is one of the greatest of all timeI think Haaland is a better version of Cristiano. He's not going to pass Messi, but he'll obliterate Cristiano and all his records
…That's why I don't get all the doom and gloom. So far, he has shown to be a limited one trick pony. There's no variety in his finishes. He can't change the game on his own. As long as he doesn't start firing deadly long-range shots, we should be able to deal with him.
What's great about that post is the idea of a move to Real Madrid or Bayern Munich representing a humbling.Still legendary:
I think some struggle with basic maths. Haaland needs 50+ a season for 15 years to beat Ronaldo’s record. To “obliterate” it he’ll 75+ every year for 15 years.Blimey pipe down. Haaland is an amazing player and time will tell - but Ronaldo is one of the greatest of all time
All 3 goals were no more than 6 yards out. That aged well!That's why I don't get all the doom and gloom. So far, he has shown to be a limited one trick pony. There's no variety in his finishes. He can't change the game on his own. As long as he doesn't start firing deadly long-range shots, we should be able to deal with him.
He could score a hattrick for Stoke.Yeah, but could he score a hat trick on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke? yeah probably would in 20 minutes
We are too big to allow release clause, remember? He insisted on release clause in City alsoWe should have let City get Ronaldo on 2021and trow all the money we had to this guy this previous summer, but of course our board doesn't have that type of vision
he's playing for clearly the best side in the league by an absolute mile as opposed to an also-ran feeder club which probably helps.
Levels.
All the evidence points towards him being a likeable, humble guyYep, he's obviously absolute class. Do not understand so-called united fans point scoring because they said he'd be brilliant, mind. It's like part of the caf are delighted he's amazing. Also, he's a dislikable, arrogant twat...so there's that.
Maybe its just his face that I'm judging, tbf. I'm shallow like that!All the evidence points towards him being a likeable, humble guy
Hmm didn't he start the whole psg thing when he posted an IG story in Paris and called it his city?All the evidence points towards him being a likeable, humble guy
It doesn't work that way. Some times you just win it after your peakIf City misses out on the CL this season, I don't know what will make them win it.
Fairly light-hearted banter that certain people took far too seriously. I wouldn't point to a bit of teasing as evidence that he's arrogant or a twat.Hmm didn't he start the whole psg thing when he posted an IG story in Paris and called it his city?
Yes, it's no wonder KdB seems to love himThe get on his second today was insane. Right up to contact I was convinced there was no way he'd reach it, never mind bury it.
You might be right about that.It doesn't work that way. Some times you just win it after your peak
Chelsea couldn't win in Mourinho years nor Ancelotti but won with DiMatteo
