Only because Liverpool are having a freakish season, this isn’t the norm is it?
Erling Haaland | Dortmund player

Spurs vs Villa. Who saw the high line defence of Villa in the 93rd min that led to the winner? If that were to be Haaland scoring that, it would have been one of the evidence of being a weak league defensively
It was against a newly promoted team, currently 1 point above the relegation places and statistically the worst defence in the league. Even despite that, came about because of a stupid individual error under no pressure.
Hardly representative of the quality of defending generally.
Haaland scoring in similar scenarios vs newly promoted Union Berlin, lower table Augsburg and Koln became representative of the Bundesliga. Read the earlier pages on this same thread and a reason to open this

If it was Haaland who scored that Spurs goal vs a bottom Bundesliga team we will have a 5 page conversation on how Bundesliga defence are highline, and defenders make stupid individual mistakes
Defenders make stupid mistakes in every team. Toby who has been one of the best defenders in the league overall since arriving scored a fecking stupid own goal in the same match. Villa's high line also was ridiculously stupid, considering Moura, Son and Bergwijn were three of our attacking players. It goes along with their naivety and the fact they've conceded the most goals in the league.
I don't know why some fans of other leagues get so worked up when someone makes any comment or criticism of their league's style. Either they must think that every league is essentially identical, in style and quality or that the PL is inferior to these other leagues.
Never mind the fact that the bundesliga constantly have their fullbacks in front of the attackers whilst the Premier league ones are much well placed to be behind them so they have to take them on atleast most of the time. Literally every game in the bundesliga the centre backs are left defending 2 vs 2 or 2 vs 3 because the wing backs are completely lost, too wide in comparison to the centre of defence so the wingers have acres of space to create chances.
Wingers scoring goals literally taking over no body, setting up goals by walking in to wider areas where no one defends and sending the ball in to a 2 man defence where a striker runs to. Rinse and repeat.
Given PSG's defense, he might feast tomorrow. The problem is, PSG will most likely feast on the other end as well. I can't wait for tomorrow's game, it should be a nightmare for both team's goalkeepers.
Scored in 6 of his 7 CL games.
What a strike!
Not only scoring tap ins
Guy is a freak
Wow.
He's absolutely ridicilous.
He hits the ball so hard.
This guy is unreal.
His finishing is flawless. What a crisp striker.
One season wonder. He'll do feck all next season.
Hopefully.
Hopefully.
He must be having one of the best run of forms in history the past few months
He's so good. He's got pace to burn, hold up play, positioning, finishing, as complete a striker you can get at that age. Quite envious.
What a strike!
Some player
Some player
Ridiculous
How in the hell is he only 19? That's the same age as Lingard!
Raiola client so not fussed at all he isn't our player.
Sure, it's because of Ole's appointment.
Haaland netbuster.
Reckon he will be top scorer at Euros too... boy is a beast!
So he's got 39 goals in 29 appearances this season. Of course most of them have been for Salzburg, but he's scoring at an even more impressive rate since joining Dortmund. Insane talent.
Only one of those two reasons are why he's not a United player and it's got nothing to do with our manager
Do we think Solskjaer and the club feel Raiola did them over with Haaland hence the now strained relationship?
Surely Real and Barcelona must be all over this lad in the summer? Both need a striker and some quality in attack.
Dortmund need to enjoy why they can. They lose him in 2022. Fact.
Will play for us eventually.
They're used it, selling club
Loosing him for a cut price will be the real killer though
He's so good
feck his talent and innate traits like his pace. It's the absolute basics for a striker he's got in himself, the runs, the ability to shield the ball, attacking the space, getting in front of the defender, knowing when to stop to lose his marker, ability to hit the ball with power, he's a role model whose game should be shown to every single young kid who wants to be an attacker.
It's a shame because they are so good to watch and well supported. They need to grow a backbone. Imagine if Bayern nab him. Must be sickening being a Dortmund fan.
Meh, Lukaku got a brace against PSG.
Very special player. Could be the next world record transfer fee.
