      @@dreddykrugernew Because the likes of Silva, Grealish, Savinho, Doku, and Walker are afraid to lose possession. They consistently avoid playing first time balls and service into Haaland when the ball is on. The reason why Haaland connects so well with De Bruyne is because the Belgian is actually willing to lose possession in pursuit of scoring goals. Watch Haaland off the ball. He is constantly making runs off the ball that consistently get ignored by his teammates playing safe possession passes. It’s incredibly frustrating to constantly watch.

    Vicious cycle with Haaland: Pep won't play to his strengths, no one will pass him the ball bc they're terrified of losing the ball, Haaland is sick of making runs for no reason and is getting fed up as a result of being ignored 50x a game. Oh yeah, and Pep's slow buildup play which allows the opposition plenty of time to reset their lines and flood the 18yrd box sucks out all the space for Haaland to operate which also makes it far more difficult for City to score regardless of Haaland playing or not. And on and on we go.

      Bingo. Someone that can actually properly watch a match instead of saying lazy banter like "ghosted, pocketed, etc". Haaland is playing in a system that almost appears to go out of its way to not maximize him. And he plays with guys like Silva, Grealish, Foden, Savinho, Doku, and Walker who refuse to play first time balls and service to him when the ball is on. How people don’t see this is mind blowing. I’m glad you can see it.

      @@MCFCTheMadHatter I’ve thought the same thing about Haaland ever since he arrived at City. A lot of people never watched him at Dortmund or Salzburg and very incorrectly just think he’s a penalty box tap in merchant. He’s very much not that at all. He’s literally the most dangerous striker in transition at the elite level and his pace in space is frightening. He’s a much more natural fit for sides like Liverpool, Madrid, and how Chelsea are playing now with Jackson up top going off in open space transitional play. He’s not being utilized correctly and Bernardo Silva in particular drives me bonkers. Silva is the complete opposite of Salah with his constant cutting back and conservative passes.

      If you look at our top goal scorers, it is Haaland, with Gvardiol & Kova tied for 2nd place for goals scored in the PL. What is wrong with that list?
      Where are our traditional scoring outlets such as our wingers or attacking midfielders (Kova is one but he's never gotten over 5 goals in a season his whole career)? Foden 630 PL min 0 goals 1A, Doku 440 min 1G and 1A, Savinho 630min 3A 0G, Silva 1,013min 3A 0G, Grealish 374min 1A 0G, KDB 401min 1G, 1A.
      Gvardiol and Kova are tied for 2nd place as the highest goal scorers at City behind Haaland. Forget winning trophies, if we continue to ignore Haaland, how are we going to even make into the top 4 with such a giant gulf in GA across the attack?

    The narrative that Haaland disappears against top teams is not only incorrect (see below) but it’s very lazy and doesn’t look at how City’s other players factor into him apparently disappearing. Because it never ceases to amaze me how City players like Silva, Foden, Grealish, Doku, and Walker almost appear to go out of their way to avoid playing first time balls into space for Haaland and consistently don’t provide first time service to him. Pep has instilled such a possession obsession mindset into his players that it’s actually inhibiting them from maximizing Haaland. Watching Liverpool reminded me of what I’ve thought for a long time. For as many titles, goals, and success as Haaland has had at City, I’ve always thought he would have been a much more natural fit playing for more expansive and direct sides like Liverpool and Chelsea.
