He broke the premier league scoring record in his first season, he won city their first ucl. Won the treble. He has 13 goals in 12 games this season. Excluding ballondor and that, how can ANYONE not drool for Haalands goalscoring ability. This is coming from a Liverpool fan that cant believe the standard of talk around this player.
Nah I agree.
There’s this growing narrative of “yeah he scores a lot, BUT…” or that he isn’t a good team player, or that Kane could do his job at city better, just lots of hot takes around this player rn.
Personally as an Arsenal fan whose been watching over a decade, he’s the best I’ve ever seen.
The amount he can do with only 3 or 4 touches in a game is wild. Every team knows exactly how to defend him, and most can’t. If you go back to his Dortmund days even, when he was like 19, kid was scoring for fun. His career average is a goal a game, which blows the best of the best away. Not even Messi can touch that Stat.
So, he’s like a good 5 or 6 years off from his prime, and given his stature I’d have to guess his prime will come even later, like 8-9 years. So he’s already the best we’ve ever seen, and he has years and years to improve. Besides his goalscoring record, he’s won trophies that some of the greats never managed to. Very few have ever won a treble, on top of all that.
The people that minimize what he’s done and is doing, I feel like just don’t watch him play. They see the highlights, and they go by narratives. But if you asked them if they’d prefer their team’s striker or Haaland, you know what they’d choose.
He broke the epl scoring record. but he doesn’t assist! Le incomplete striker!
His holdup play is excellent. B-But he’s not a playmaker!
He won the treble, broke the hattrick record, broke the scoring record, and averaged a goal a game. BUT IT WAS WITH CITY, LETS SEE HIM DO IT WITH LUTON TOWN
Like, you fucking idiots. He would do it with Luton town. That’s what you’re not grasping lol
