- On this week's episode of The Breakdown, brought to you by Sky Bet, we looked into the data and tactics behind why Erling Haaland’s ‘General Play’ has been criticised in recent weeks.
Do you think Haaland must improve his all-around game, or do you believe his goal-scoring prowess is more than enough to compromise?

i think the way city play doesnt suit him but as long as hes scoring then what can u say
That’s what makes a world class player, performs in any team whether it suits him or not, deserves only praise this boy, any criticism is ridiculous, he breaks records !!!!
He’s much better on a team that can counter attack and play through balls for him like at Dortmund. City has to deal with low blocks constantly. Makes it hard for any striker to get involved.
tbh i think Haaland would have been amazing for United under Ole since they mainly played on the counter against any and every team 😂
Of course City's team are milessss ahead, but just on style of play, that Ole team probably would have worked for Haaland.
Subtitles for this one are entertaining, Haaland spelt differently each time
The focus should really be on percentage of chances converted. Haaland gets so many goals because city create so many chances, but his actual conversion rate has been poor this season, especially compared to other prem strikers
He's also poor in the air, he only scored a handful of headed goals at dortmund. With his size he has to provide a threat in the air in open play and set pieces, it would add an additional dynamic to city's play.
Simple answer....if he scores enough absolutely. But right now doesn't even look like he's capable of that.
Teams how found a way to contain him
@@itsmeprasad1987 yeah
Isn’t he still the top scorer in the prem?
Not a bad problem to have
@@waynereid9471 Currently tied with Cole Palmer
He takes away 2 defenders to contain him..allowing the likes of Doku, Phoden etc more space and opportunity to score. He will only get better.
I'm not sure he needs to improve his general hold up play and all that to still be an effective striker in any team but if he wants to be the best in the world he sould alway be driving to get better in every aspect of play!
Haaland has missed 30 big chances while scoring 20 goals this season..
Palmer has missed 4 big chances while scoring 20 goals this season.
Watkins has missed 19 big chances while scoring 19 goals this season.
Haaland is a goal threat but hes general play is ass
Why are people blaming Haaland when it’s clear this is the tactics Pep wants to play? Doesn’t mean it’s wrong or right but it’s crazy to be mad at Haaland when he’s doing his job.
Now I would say I think they are missing a big part of Haaland game by not letting him drop off and combine and even more than that, when he drops off he can make runs in behind much easier and he actually has an insane shot from distance he used to use a lot at Dortmund
great content
People seem to forget he was already performing in Germany. At Man City he just doesn’t have space, because of the way they play.
tbf he was really close with that one header hitting the crossbar in that Madrid game
His overall game needs improvement. He's still young, he'll get even better
Keane is always right🐐
you mean haaland is division 2 or championship level player !
stick to football with the team? i've been waiting to long 8 days is too much lol!
He's purely and mainly a GOALSCORER of the highest order!
He's not even a striker let alone being a PLAYER!
Why?
Bec he lacks TECHNICAL SKILLSET and INTANGIBLES to dictate or dominate.
He's so dependent on what the team can do for him not what he can do for the team!
He's PHYSICALLY gifted and technically not talented.
He's a modern type of Inzaghi, Trez and Ruud playing style with smart clever runs to find the empty space with superb finishing skills.
Did you not watch the video? Why do you think Foden has been so good this season?
That's not all true. Foden scored closely these numbers last season and had even lesser involvement I think.
@@sdm_za
Not bec of Haaland 🤣
@@daviesjayblack6071
Foden hasn't had a season like this one before in his career.
Stop it!
@Mercurial. are you slow , or don't you know how to read? I said He has had lesser involvement in the past.
I don't see where I also suggested he's had a more impactful season before this or that he has performed the same.
He has had more involvement this season.
The season started without KDB. Mahrez left. And so he has played more. Isn't it simple to understand?
He has more minutes in the EPL at this stage this season than in the entirety of last season. Doesn't that count?
For me if haaland isn't finishing better than your average striker than his general play gets highlighted more and it's really bad
If you put an 18 y/o Zlatan in this City side he would be rivalling CR7 stats.
@sighfly2928 You're such a liar. You probably weren't even alive when Zlatan was 18.
@@sighfly2928 😂😂😂
Keane was spot on
Keane would be a League 2 player if he was 20 today.
@@TheRealPingu Don't be absolutely ridiculous.
But then Keane said same about van nistelrooy and said that was absolutely fine for him
@@TheRealPingu change your name to TheRealDonkey.
So Tapingham is a National League midfielder because he didn't score against City in 240 minutes of play?
When City needed his goals most he goes missing definitely a concern now
GOALS CAN GET YOU POINTS HAALAND CAME TO LEARN UNDER PEP HE SAID THIS WHEN JOINING US YOU CAN SEE HE DOES CREATE SPACES FOR OUR MIDFIELD AND IS IMPROVING HE IS STILL TOP GOAL SCORER
World’s best tap-in king.
You wont see him do out of this world dribbling, long shots, and not the cool calm collected mind to just chip it over the keeper when he’s one-on-one… Just tap-ins and penalties.
Its not how you do it, its getting it done that counts.
@@cptmaj Then read what I wrote again.
[Worlds best tap-in king] !
@@Heyfrendoo I read the edit. Makes no difference to what I typed. Just adds a detail to what you said.
Queen 💁🏼♀️
Because that's his job at City.
He scored plenty of varied goals at Dortmund
If city didnt try to walk the ball into the net constantly, he would break more records.
Peps style doesnt suit an out and out striker
Where has the world come to? Top league goalscorer is being criticized for not doing enough. I mean....
People keep winding up the Viking, lets see how this season ends for him
He makes space for others to score too by occupying the centre backs too. He has missed more chances this year though, but still scoring.
Roy has beef with his family, it’s personal
Isn’t he literally top scorer still while also being injured this season ? This narrative is so lazy and he does things on the pitch literally no one could that are incredibly technical the volleys he has scored are unreal
Did you say does things no one else could? 😂
Your imagination is so faint.
Keane was right league two player. He did nothing against Madrid midweek
This makes no sense. Every player has a bad season, it doesn't mean their ability as a player should be questioned. Mbappe, Messi, and Ronaldo have also had terrible seasons.
In other words he's the tap-in merchant people have said he is, all along.
You have to respect those numbers but people always say stats are for prats! I do think he is a flat track bully, never seems to score the winners in tight games. I think he is world class for what he does but he’s not a special player or a magic player like CR7, Messi, Ronaldinho, this is not a special player who’s worth paying to watch.
Keane was correct league 2 player
League two player 🤷🏻♂️
It’s already been said
Bad first touch
Bad holding up and bringing others into play
He’s snide
But we’ll have him and grealish at United if you don’t want em 😂
When you score that many, yes
Same player people claimed was better than Messi. Football fans are so fickle and thick.
better than messi?? R u kidding? that person needs to check up their brain
Not better but he was robbed of the last Ballon D’or
Nobody on planet earth said he was better than Messi. He simply deserved the Ballon d'Or ahead of Messi in 2023.
He's being exposed that 95% of his goals are either tap ins, penalties or lucky deflections that fall straight to his feet for him to smash it in.
Ally McCoist right now with eyes very open and looking slightly to the side. Tell them Ally, tell them how wrong they are to talk about this other than for the content and other than to give nerds a statistic boner. I enjoyed it but cmon, tell them they are wrong. Todays stars are over paid and over analysed/critisized.
It's not wrong what Keane is saying, but! You could say something like that for most players, Keanes uncontrolled aggresion was league 2 level, Peter Schmeichel sometimes dropped the ball in the net, David Beckhams pace was league 2 level an so on... But every player had some other aspects that made them world class, and thats how it is. Nobody stands in front in all god given talent queus, except for Cristiano Ronaldo...
Hes just a Norwegian Niall Quinn
Would be so sweet to see Watkins or Palmer pick up the golden boot
Yes? He's a striker. His only job is to score goals.
Breaking records is enough for me🤷♂️
Flat track bully then
Shouldn't Roy Keane be doing this video? After all he did say that his general play is that of a League 2 player LOL
Great goal score but not a great player? WTH does that even mean? If you want skills and no goals then trade him for Kai Havertz. I’m sure Arsenal would love that trade.
Premier league defenders are no slouch. You always get found out in your second season as haaland has just Realized.
20 goals in 26 games in the league, how embarrassing!
@@nev3rlo5t seems like you missing the point of that interaction in the panel. Nobody is discounting his goal scoring ability. It's his involvement in the build up that Keane and most people are talking about.
They won EVERYTHING with him last season. So.......Yes. Video over.
People are not noticing he plays much better with Grealish
Coz doku won't pass him the ball. Bernardo won't pass him. Rodri won't pass him
You people have to understand that the topscorer in the prem league is a worse Footballer than All other attackers in the league... You could plug All other attackers in that city team and he would score double🤪
Quality goal scorer but not overall a great player.
Imagine that…..facts supporting Keanes analysis
No! He goes missing in the big games and didn't deserve the you know what ahead of Messi
Sit-eh
You can’t reasonably criticise Erling’s football. His goals are enough on their own
Then one can criticise his missed goals. Most big chances missed with 30. There are times where he just completely missed the ball when City needed a goal
Keane was a great player, but a Championship Level Goal scorer
Pep is also to blame he doesnt make players play better he make them worse and one dimensional
He made Sterling into a world class player, that tells you how good a coach he is
Roy dropped this gem of a take with Jj on the podcast because he knows people will 100% click on the video therefore getting to learn about and jj and the nfl just imo
Its all to do with the style of football MC play……far to much tippy tippy football across the lines…….. just look at the second leg with RM ….. He hardly touched the ball….. WHY……. the way MC plays…… TWO SHOTS on goal by MC in the whole of the second half……. ZERO penetration direct at goal …….ALSO….. HAARLAND would have to score over 45 goals per season JUST TO EQUAL Ronaldo record……. Incredible…… a tally he will never reach !
What a weird question
Don't ask for much 😂
He’s an Andy Carroll playing in an elite team
Why does all of a sudden a striker talking the ball during the game matter? He’s scoring 50 goals a season which not many in world football can do.. so why Haaland have to drop deep when we have Silva, KDB, Foden, Rodri, Grealish and doku giving him the ball?
Haaland is overrated!
His goals are real
Imagine his overrated player won the Ballon D'or. Thank God Messi won the world Cup & saved us from this. He's no better than Ollie Watkins.
His goals are mediocre. Ghosting in every big game in CL. Overrated.
He actually offers nothing to the team when he’s not scoring..
Blonde Rashford
He’s shite move on
Ronaldo spent most of his career ghosting games but covering it up with goals, where was all this talk for him?
0 ball knowledge.
No social media back then was there you spoon 😂
Ronaldo scores free kick every season of his career... Will Halland ever score a Free kick in his life... Did you watch Ronaldo wen he was at Manchester united??? I don't think so
Halland is way way overrated bro
Never compare Ronaldo to Haaland to completely different players even when playing as Striker
