About as reliably as you and the naysayersThe noggie defence league will be along soon.
Ffs don't lump me in with the rest of my countrymen.The noggie defence league will be along soon.
Nah, that'll be after their next game against Villa when he has his two open goals and a penalty in a game they would have won 6-0 without him anyway.The noggie defence league will be along soon.
I think he's classAbout as reliably as you and the naysayers
He's class, don't get me wrong, but feck me, they are so precious about him.Nah, that'll be after their next game against Villa when he has his two open goals and a penalty in a game they would have won 6-0 without him anyway.
Man City don’t play that way though. It’s not like they don’t want to find him.I'm wondering how many goals he'd score if there were actually more people on his team than just De Bruyne trying to feed him the ball.
You say that as if it means something... We have no Mbappé, Lewy, Benzema, not even an Osimhen in this league.What's clear is that Kane is still easily the best striker in the PL.
Haha - not all of you guys!Ffs don't lump me in with the rest of my countrymen.

It seems like they don’t at timesMan City don’t play that way though. It’s not like they don’t want to find him.
I’m not defensive, just pretty sure I’ve seen you gleefully post when he’s had an underwhelming game. Maybe I’m confusing you with someone else? Pretty sure I’ve seen you trot out tired lines about people just defending him and Ole just because they’re Norwegian.I think he's class
You didn't think that one through; duhhhh. I just love how defensive you lot get about him.
Again; duhhhh.
He's a class goalscorer, but that's all he is. He's a net negative for them.He's class, don't get me wrong, but feck me, they are so precious about him.
Probably stays there 3/4 seasons max. Hell go to SpainCity gonna dominate for the next decade with him. Love the drama llamas.
Worth keeping in mind that Bayern lost Lewandowski to Barca. A striker considered better than Haaland.He's a class goalscorer, but that's all he is. He's a net negative for them.
Some coincidence that Dortmund are suddenly putting together their first proper title challenge since before he went there as well.
100%.Just doesn’t suit the city style of play or team, they don’t like playing the risk ball over the top or through the middle and haven’t been coached that way for years to be fair to them. His runs constantly get ignored.
I think he’d be a different animal at United with Bruno behind him
He’s scored like 60 goals this season, I doubt he’s being ignored.Just doesn’t suit the city style of play or team, they don’t like playing the risk ball over the top or through the middle and haven’t been coached that way for years to be fair to them. His runs constantly get ignored.

You're definitely confusing me with someone else.I’m not defensive, just pretty sure I’ve seen you gleefully post when he’s had an underwhelming game. Maybe I’m confusing you with someone else? Pretty sure I’ve seen you trot out tired lines about people just defending him and Ole just because they’re Norwegian.
Aye, but Dortmund's Haaland replacement was diagnosed with cancer as soon as he got there, so they're probably still about even on the 'losing a striker' score.Worth keeping in mind that Bayern lost Lewandowski to Barca. A striker considered better than Haaland.
Didn't realise Shaw was playing for SpursHim not scoring today is all down to Luke Shaw, not Spurs.
Why have Dias and Laporte been on the bench the past couple of weeks if they are having to play such shite.City points at this point in the last 5 seasons (After matchday 20)
2022/23 45 points
2021/22 50points
2020/21 44points
2019/20 41points
2018/19 47points
So in the last 5 seasons they have been better twice, worse twice.
The teams who have had more than 45points by GW 20 in the last 5 seasons are Liverpool 2019/20 55points, Liverpool 2018/19 54points Arsenal 2022/23 50 points
Could it be that Man City are having an average City season. Not underperforming nor overperforming and without an outstanding Arsenal that has lost just 1 game all season City will be sitting pretty on top of the league despite their defensive woes this season. Missing their 2 best CBs Laporte and Dias and having to play Akanji and Ake
Aye, agree with that. He's a phenomenal goalscorer, but overall, he hasn't made City a better team. I thought City was a strange career move for him, as Pep doesn't exactly play to his strengths.He's a class goalscorer, but that's all he is. He's a net negative for them.
A bang average footballer in a freak body, not close to prime Zlatan who was also quite overrated.
He kinda was. Social media made him better than he was. Was a well known choker in the 2000s
What club would he have been suited to? All the top clubs have had their best seasons in recent years playing with strikers who are far more well rounded, Bayern with Lewa, Madrid with Benzema, Liverpool with Firmino, City with Jesus Aguero and whoever as a false 9, what would have been the right club for him if City is the wrong one?Being only a class goal scorer is something 99% of teams in the world would be looking for from their number 9. He’s picked the wrong club in City and vice versa.
