I think Man Utd would have been a better fit, Spurs would be a good fit. Basically any team that plays that fast counter attack.. the slow build up Man City have will prove frustrating I think. Wasnt aiming at you. Thats a fair assessment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anon Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 If you watch Harland's (admittedly not very impressive) highlights, there's a clip where a teammate lifts his leg back to shoot, in about half a second he sprints back onside, pivots then manages to get the first to the rebound by a clear yard. He's going to be immense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Haaland is just what City have been missing, to my mind. He’ll have a decent first season. I actually have a sneaking suspicious that Alvarez will have an even better one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ain’t jinxing anything, could be foolish words but I really think City have made themselves weaker over the summer despite bringing Haaland in. The guy already has been a monster but every player has a chink the armour, his I think will be the way they play, the pressure of the role he has and the potential for the first time in his career where he won’t just be banging them in just by showing up. He’s not really had any adversity yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 When I think of a classic Haaland goal it always involves him running at pace at a defence who can't handle him. He runs past them and smashes it into the net, that seems to be his forte and he's unreal at that, quick break and he's probably the best in the world at punishing it. But City don't play like that. They dominate possession, the opposition sit deep and allow no space to run into, the quick breaks I'm imagining just wont happen. They need movement in the box rather than his sprint into the box. He's obviously still a fantastic striker and he'll still score loads but he'll need to adapt his game. He'll need to be sharp in the box rather than outside of it, find space rather than use his pace to run into space. He'll score loads but he'll need to adapt.

Cronky Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I watched the second half of the game, and Haaland barely got a kick. City will have to adjust to get the best out of him. They've gone from playing without a striker to playing with a centre forward - albeit a very good one. There were times when it felt like they had 10 men, and LIverpool were swarming all over them.

He's not a City type player, I thought the same about Grealish and I've been proved right so far. Not what they needed and hideously overpriced. I'd have kept both Sterling and Jesus and spent the Grealish/ Haaland money elsewhere. Of course they'll probably both go on to break records at City now Sterling will be a big miss for them. He always delivered when it mattered and was consistently effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been a really exciting tournament. There’s a comparison to be had with tennis (where I think the women often provide more entertaining matches), there are differences but it has felt very wholesome and less edgy. Went to one of the live games and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
