In that case pardon the crossed wires. It’s been a while since I’ve bothered to engage and I got it from several posters.You're definitely confusing me with someone else.

I know a choker when I see one and he isn't oneHe kinda was. Social media made him better than he was. Was a well known choker in the 2000s
Thing is; this is a United forum, not a Norwegian National Team forum. He plays for our direct rival, so obviously people are going to criticise him on here, and take this piss.In that case pardon the crossed wires. It’s been a while since I’ve bothered to engage and I got it from several posters.
You’re definitely not confusing him with anyone else. Use the ignore function on that one and your caf experience instantly will become 10x better, trust me.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.
Think the plan/assumption was he would essentially just have tap ins most the time (like most his goals this season)He’s Jose’s dream striker and peps nightmare, for me of all the top teams he could of gone to city was the one who wouldn’t bend to play to his abilities, Liverpool like to move at pace, United are strong on the counter both would of played to his strengths, slow build has got him 25 goals but if it was fast they would of been unstoppable.
Shut up you fecking melt.You’re definitely not confusing him with anyone else. Use the ignore function on that one and your caf experience instantly will become 10x better, trust me.
suffering from PTSD after coming up against Shaw at CBDidn't realise Shaw was playing for Spurs
Bar De Bruyne, I don't really think they do want to find him.Man City don’t play that way though. It’s not like they don’t want to find him.
It might benefit City, he's still scoring a shit load of goals and they'll probably get £100m+ for him which will end up balancing their FFP.Will be sold in the near future if Pep stays. Simply the wrong fit. Will bang for fun but the team suffers. One of the fundamental things a Pep striker does is hold the ball and draw CBs out of position to creat space for the overload. Haaland can’t do it. His dropping deep is ineffective because that is simply not his game.
He’s been smashing records with his goalscoring, there’s plenty of room for acknowledging greatness.Thing is; this is a United forum, not a Norwegian National Team forum. He plays for our direct rival, so obviously people are going to criticise him on here, and take this piss.
I think he's obviously a very good player, but I find it really fecking weird (from one poster in particular @Samid ) when people gleefully bump this thread gushing about him after he plays well. I mean, he's a City player ffs.
Yeah, I unblocked some people because I thought we were past it post-Ole. Oh well.You’re definitely not confusing him with anyone else. Use the ignore function on that one and your caf experience instantly will become 10x better, trust me.
You're certainly over-thinking this and getting worked up over nothing. You confused me with someone who 'gleefully criticises' Haaland. I've just explained that this is a United forum, so people are obviously going to shit on rival players after a bad game/run of form.He’s been smashing records with his goalscoring, there’s plenty of room for acknowledging greatness.
And it’s not just Norwegians getting worked up by what he’s done so far in his short career. There’s a United section and a football section, so it’s not out of order in the football section. You psychoanalyzing people’s motives for posting, however, certainly borders on being out of order.
Oh dear, you actually listen to himYeah, I unblocked some people because I thought we were past it post-Ole. Oh well.
It's a learning curve in and of itself. He's wet behind the ears in terms of being a character and force of personality and it'd be fair to say he's learning on the job in that sense.Anyone think he’s too timid to be a big player in a team of stars? He seems to meekly accept a lot of things; being pushed around by defenders, being ignored by his team mates, getting decisions against him from referees. The Dortmund bosses said he was eager to learn, and it makes sense that a young player who hasn’t won anything feels inferior to senior players that have won a lot. But it seems like you need to act like a star to be treated like one, otherwise someone else will take ownership of things…
I know I’ve seen you snipe at Norwegian posters for sticking up for Norway, reinforced by you talking about this not being the Norwegian National Team forum or whatever. You’re certainly at times engaging in attempts at mind-reading rather than engaging with the points made.You're certainly over-thinking this and getting worked up over nothing.

And yes, I do think United fans bumping this thread when he plays well (a City player) is kind of weird. But I'm not really that invested that I'm going to write up a psychology thesis on the subject. Chill out bud.
Don’t worry. For some reason I can’t access your profile, so I can’t put you on ignore anyway.Oh dear, you actually listen to him
I'm literally not someone who criticises Haaland and you seem overly upset with me. You lot need to lighten up.
Ah listen bud, you're turning this into something it's not. It's a bit of piss taking, I think you need to chill. Best of luck and have a nice evening.I know I’ve seen you snipe at Norwegian posters for sticking up for Norway, reinforced by you talking about this not being the Norwegian National Team forum or whatever.

At any rate I am perfectly chilled-out, and am over this back and forth. Have a good one.
Ah you still can. Very thin skinned of you.Don’t worry. For some reason I can’t access your profile, so I can’t put you on ignore anyway.
Yep. Been saying that all along.What's clear is that Kane is still easily the best striker in the PL.
Agreed.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.
And this.Square plug for a round hole? I mean you can't argue with the goals he's scored but is he scoring more as an individual affecting how many city score as a team? And is it making them a little more predictable?
I think it is. I'm not sure Pep actually knows how to balance the team with him in it. Hence the muddled line ups and formations. He has a destabilising effect on Peps rock solid philosophy and system and it's beginning to show.
Listen, I’m clinically depressed since my teens, with anxiety to boot. You can’t infer tone from text necessarily, but I know I got my fecking fill of "you’re just saying that cause you’re Norwegian" during the Ole reign, and it’s tiring to get casual dismissals of your input just because of where you’re from.Ah you still can. Very thin skinned of you.
I have my own opinions on @Samid btw, so listening to him, when it comes to me, wouldn't be advisable. Do as you wish mate.
Well I'm sorry to hear about your issues and I wish you the best of luck with that. As I said, it was literally a piss take 'Noggie defence league' - it's hardly serious.Listen, I’m clinically depressed since my teens, with anxiety to boot.

I wasn’t looking to block really, that was just a quip. This shit doesn’t happen when I just lurk, so I’ll go back to doing that.
There is a solid representation of Noggies on here, and some are probably a bit coloured by that excitement, but I just got so fecking fed up with that during the Ole era. Who, btw, is still being beaten on regularly by people who clearly don’t get the mutual attachment between him and the clubWell I'm sorry to hear about your issues and I wish you the best of luck with that.

I do find it funny how some - maybe they're not all Norwegian - get wound up when anyone criticises him. Point is: it's to be expected on a United forum. I hope you don't stop posting, as I never had any issues with you. I have issues with some from the Ole era, due to the superior stance they took, but you were always a good dude.
Fair enough mate. But I have to be honest here; it takes two to tango, and there was certainly a lot of self-righteous, condescending Norwegian posters on here during the Ole era, which is where this all started.There is a solid representation of Noggies on here, and some are probably a bit coloured by that excitement, but I just got so fecking fed up with that during the Ole era.

Anyway, I just don’t see other nationalities’ opinions on subjects dismissed en masse like this. So yeah, I don’t take it as a gentle ribbing. Probably a me problem, certainly won’t go away it seems. Just like the shit/brilliant dichotomy.
The worst part being, Zlatan is FAR more Pep compatible on paper than haaland as he's closer to Kane.Pep brought in Zlatan and failed with him. Always had a feeling Haaland would not suit Pep Ball
