matchday malcontent
Every time he scores one sentence comes to my mind. "United is too big to accept release clause". That was bs decision
He's also in the perfect setup though. City have been in a different league to anyone but Liverpool for some years now. Now they have the perfect striker as well.
Really though? I mean it was only a matter of months ago people will insisting he wouldn’t fit in at City and that they needed a striker who was better on the ball…….
He’s better then Mbappe. You simply can’t bypass his numbers and the level of opposition he is playing against weekly. Playing against Stade Reims and Angers every other week just can’t compare I’m sorry.
Scoring is really that easy for the absolute best. I remember when Ronaldo and Messi were scoring 40+ league goals year in year out and people would boldly claim that they wouldn’t do it in the prem even though they were wiping the floor with the best prem teams in the CL.It's about an incredible finisher playing for the most creative team. A perfect alignment of stars. If scoring was that easy then there would be more players scoring more goals.
Give me your update from today buddyWatching Šeško destroy and embarrass this Norwegian fraud was so satisfying.
How can you watch players like Šeško or Vlahovic and still think Haaland is special or generational? The hysteria and hype around Haaland will cool down when people catch up.
I agree with you which is why Haaland doing what he does or Ronaldo/Messi doing what they did in the CL, doesn't say much about the level of either competition. When you're great, nothing can stop youScoring is really that easy for the absolute best. I remember when Ronaldo and Messi were scoring 40+ league goals year in year out and people would boldly claim that they wouldn’t do it in the prem even though they were wiping the floor with the best prem teams in the CL.
All Haaland has shown is that opposition is a really overrated point... him and Lewandowski are making a mockery of the "Bundesliga tax" people. They're both scoring as much or more in the Premier League and La Liga as they ever did in Bundesliga. Mbappé would also score as many for City as he does for PSG, maybe even more.
Haaland was nowhere near worth 100m when he signed for Dortmund. Captain Hindsight.Dortmund are probably the stupidest team ever for letting him go so cheap. Who puts a release clause that low on a player that is easily worth over 100m
It's about an incredible finisher playing for the most creative team. A perfect alignment of stars. If scoring was that easy then there would be more players scoring more goals.
He’ll probably get shearers record in 2 weeks time. He’s got 3 hat tricks in a row at home now.Most PL hatricks in a season
1995/96 Alan Shearer 5
2016/17 Harry Kane 4
2017/18 Sergio Aguero 3
2018/19 Sergio Aguero 3
2022-23 Haaland 3
Elite players doing elite things doesn't say much about the overall quality of a league is what I'm saying. Haaland would have still scored if he played for Wolves, it's just made easier to do so at Man CityLet's be real, the PL hasn't really had the best players in the world in their league, it's slowly going that way. Scoring is that easy for those elite players. You put any of the names we mention in that City team, it's a boatload of goals. Or even how Arsenal are playing now, Liverpool a couple of season ago. Those elite players get to pick whatever team they go to, and they'll almost always pick the best team. Haaland obviously chose City because of what you mentioned, but you can slot him out and put Lewa, Benzema, or even Mbappe (3 players who I believe have scored against every single PL team they came across btw) and you'd still get a boatload of goals. The league is irrelevant to players of that level, because the league itself is so unbalanced to begin with (like almost every league out there), and they'll always be on the right side of that scale, tipping it further out of balance.
Yup. He's making s mockery of the "mighty" premier league right now, and would do so in any league.

That's wrong. Ronaldo has 2. Newcastle 07/08 and Tottenham last season.

Of course, never meant otherwise. Greatness overcomes most difficultiesHe would but not at this rate
He is a total beast. He is making me look like a right idiot doubting him. Incredible striker.
Ronaldo has 3. He had one against Norwich last season too.That's wrong. Ronaldo has 2. Newcastle 07/08 and Tottenham last season.
And Norwich last season.That's wrong. Ronaldo has 2. Newcastle 07/08 and Tottenham last season.
This would require people to stop being immature kids and use common senseCorrect. I wish people would focus on the quality of players and the games they play rather than the leagues. This has always been the way for most of football history, didn't matter that Pele was playing in Brazil or Puskas in Hungary or Cruyff in Netherlands etc. Great players are great players. This farmers league nonsense is a very modern phenomenon.
Also the best way to compare players is through the Champions League where everyone plays (or World Cup). And the best players in the league, shock horror, also tend to be the best players in the Champions League as well.
He is a better player than Mbappe, yes. Unfortunately for him though he isn't as exciting a player to watch and doesn't have an upcoming world cup to showcase his abilities to the wider world.He’s better then Mbappe.

Yeah another source seems to indicate he has 3 as well.
That’s even scarier for the premier league. This guy has a 1 month rest coming up.He is a better player than Mbappe, yes. Unfortunately for him though he isn't as exciting a player to watch and doesn't have an upcoming world cup to showcase his abilities to the wider world.
You're making my point, the perceived quality of the league is irrelevant for players like that. If you're trying to argue the PL isn't overrated, I'll refer you to his thread prior to his City move or all those farmers league comments you see so often coming almost exclusively from PL fans.Elite players doing elite things doesn't say much about the overall quality of a league is what I'm saying.
