Erling Haaland | Dortmund player
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I mean Bayern are (quite clearly imho) just that good. Dortmund aren't an elite team, but they are very committed to playing attacking football and when you play lineups that are crazy attacking on paper it's not the biggest surprise that someone like Haaland, who is no 2 in the CL's goal scoring list (behind Lewandowski btw) and a 100m+ rated attacking midfielder like Sancho collect their share of goals and assists.
Beyond that it would take a more throughly analysis to make precise statements. In general Bundesliga teams seem a bit more ambitious tactically to me and this is probably a factor as well, but in these discussions a .3 goal per game difference between the leagues is painted as this huge chasm that means teams are unable to defend and that's quite frankly dumb bs.
Düsseldorf, bar one counter attack from a corner, basically completely shut out Dortmund yesterday, they only gave up like .7 xg. Yet you get insights like "The goal today there was literally no defenders on him - part of it was down to movement but even before that there was literally no defenders around him. It's a very confusing league." on here, about a scene where Düsseldorf had 5 players on their 6 yard box.

Course you have son.
Yeah fair play.
You seem bitter that people can have different opinions than you.You can dig your heels in all you want, but even inside of a United forum you’re in the minority, imagine outside of it. I don’t think there’s anything controversial or debatable about it but to each their own. You seem to think people are saying that just because Sancho and Haaland are bigger talents that it makes Rashford bad. No one said that.
To be fair Rashford comes out second best in literally every player comparison discussion on here.
Its the ultimate grass is always greener forum
I do think Sancho is the better player, but there’s definitely a debate to be had. Rashford has always been ahead in the England pecking order for example, and based on comments from Southgate it’s likely he’d have started ahead of him at the Euros (if fit). So it’s not obscene to suggest otherwise.
Sancho has just turned 20
Rashford turns 23 in a few months
in 2019 Sancho played more games for England than Rashford
I don't think there is much between them but since Sanch has broken into the England squad its been pretty even between them and sancho is of course 2.5 years younger ... in a basic comparison I thin hes better than Rashford two and a half years ago for example
Player progression isn’t linear though. Rashfords always been quite raw, you got the feeling once he matured and grew into his frame it’d all just click, but as a 20 year old he was extremely frustrating. Sancho’s a completely different player, a lot tidier and better with his decision making than Rashford was then, but that doesn’t necessarily correlate to him being a better player at 27/28.
A lot of the raw tools Rashford has are unique, and he's often failed to pull them all together which for me makes people underrate him as a talent. If he pulls it off though he’ll be a monster.
Im sticking to my correct opinion.
Of course buddy, just don't wander too far on the internet to try and validate that 'correct opinion', chief.
I won't charva
Perfect mindset for a discussion forum
World class.
Did miss a couple of chances where he should've scored, but I love his directness. Similar to Werner, whenever he gets the ball he just pushes forward and tries to shoot when given the opportunity.
Wait. Wait. Wait. Spot the right opening. Then explode. Incredible movement:
Just buy him already ffs
Nah would hurt Martial's feelings.
Let Dortmund have him.
He’s going to Real Madrid though isn’t he? Nailed on him and Mbappe ending up there.
Great player but looks like a twat.
He is from Leeds. Being a twat is a given.
Fairly certain Haaland will make third on the Bundesliga Top sorer list for 19/20
He hits goal with 79% of his shots. Thats an obscene difference between him and everyone else with the closest being at 65% or thereabouts.

Given the choice i'd take Mbappé
But damn this kid is a monster

I think that’s a given. Mbappé is a level above.
You're fairly certain he will score 4 goals against Hoffenheim? And at the same time Sancho won't score in the same game? Seems like utter delusion.
As a Norwegian, i would like to say Håland over Mbappe, but if im being honest with myself, Mbappe is the better player.
That said, its incredible to have such a striker talent, we rarely have many of those.

Oh haha, no you're right. For some reason i assumed they played 38 rounds not 34.
Please forgive me boss
The fact that a winter signing is even involved in the league's top scorer convo is already a very impressive feat.
Not the worst company
Depay syndrome? oh wait...
Really hope Madrid go in for Mbappe in the next year or so, come summer 2022 everyone will be after Haaland.
Yeah I get this feeling. Not a guy I would want to meet but would love to have at United. Still, I enjoy his interviews with the media.
It’s painful to watch every time he does something like this!
Majin buu scores again.
feck me what a hit.
Again 
This kid is a monster
Has the truth come out on why we missed out on him?
what realistic chance do we have for signing him when he moves next? I suspect he’s destined for Madrid.
