What happens when you want to be the best as a club. We’ve just allowed it to happen in our own city.
Nordic Ghost Yeti (Scandi Carroll) | Haaland at City
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
What’s crazy is Stones’ goal a few minutes earlier was City’s first shot on target in the game. That’s how quiet Haaland had been.
No, don't be like that. Real Madrid have to buy him and save the Premier League. They have to.
Who even cares if they win the CL anymore times anyway?They played without a striker for 2 years
For anyone saying he wouldn’t make much of a difference to the team performance, just look how many points he’s won us already this season.
He’ll score 100 goals this season
Lovely goal.
Real are going to want to replace Benz when he eventually calls it a day in couple years. Just gotta hope Erling likes Spain.
Does that kind of goal even have a name?
He's just so big, no one bar Zlatan has the size to get on the end of that cross.
Yep. If he can stay fit, I think he will surpass Messi's record. Maybe not this season necessarily, but sooner or later.
He's lucky the defender wasn't there or he'd be sent off.
Disgusting
Just a few more years and he'll be out of our hair
I do actually think he could get a red at some stage for high foot, again similar to Zlatans flying kung fu kicks, all it takes is wrong place, wrong time. These big guys don't realize that a foot at chest height is most peoples heads.
It's difficult to hate him, but I'll certainly give it a go.
And also hope that they've soured on Mbappé...
If Norway qualifies for a WC/Euros, i’m sure he can get there.
whats messis record in a calendar year?
Nah… Seems like he has full control. Just watch it again.
Why did he use his foot there instead of his head? It was header height, no?
It was header height, no?But you were getting these points without him too.
To think that Jesus, who has probably been the second best striker in the Premiership this season, is the same guy who wasn't considered good enough for City. Just goes to show their standards unfortunately.
He's 22 so he's nearly finished at top level.
We only need to wait 15 years.
I genuinely hope he is a Zlatan who gets bored and club hops, e.g. go to Italy, then Spain, then France etc.
He's a monster already and he will score for fun for creative teams.

As great as Haaland is, I’m not sure the goal was as great as it looks. He did great to get his foot on it like he did but the GK was shocking. It literally went through him.
What? How is he better than Toney, Mitrovic, Kane?
Yea he was pretty non existent until then.
91 in all competitions. It's an insane number, but if someone can reach it now - it's Haaland.
De Gea would’ve saved that.
Getting really sick of the Norwegian media fellating this cnut at every turn. Every single day his ugly mug is plastered all over every damn news outlet with bullshit clickbait stories. «Haaland did this!» «Haaland did that!» «Haaland’s teammates LOVE this about him!»
feck off
feck off
He's a fecking cheat code. Ridiculous.
He may and probably is going to break all goal scoring records this season but there will always be criticism regarding the rest of his game. The challenge will come once Guardiola leaves city and they are no longer as dominant; he will have to do more than poach goals than he may be found out.
The lack of ability outside scoring means that even if he does outscore everyone, he won't be mentioned in the company of Pele, Messi and Maradona. Something similar to Cristiano.
He's gonna push them to the champions League.
This is a nice thought but he was setting CL goalscoring records playing for RB Salzburg and later Dortmund, it doesnt appear as if the team he plays for makes that much a difference, just get him the ball.
He came to City to chew bubblegum and score goals, and after his transfer they couldn't legally afford any bubblegum
Bit reaching mate.
If all he does is score a shit load of goals, every team and manager that has him will be delighted.
What does Ronaldo do for us other than score goals sometimes?

Thats it. Time to ban Norwegian media from entering England, I cant deal with the secondhand embarrassment.
I get that egostroking is all the rage in Norway, I certainly enjoy it, but since we are currently dominating football, tennis, golf, track&field, nearly every winter sport, chess AND paid maternal leave, we can let this one go.
It was just as bad when Mats Zuccarello played for the NYR, Norwegian journos making everything about Zucc at every opportunity.
Kevin de Bryne
He must die a little inside hearing that. But I get why the Norwegian media is happy its been a quiet decade for talents in football after Riise and Solskjaer.
Arguably Odegaard and Haaland will surpass them and Norway could have a decent run in at WC if they can get a few good players around them in future.
I know how dominant Norway is when it comes to Winter Olympics and other sports like Handball. Haaland is an absolute monster but De Bruyne is such a complete midfielder its so strange from the media.

Oh for the love of god
Fjørtoft is such an insufferable sycophant.
