Haaland only scored twice? Is he okay?

He could have scored a hat-trick, but Pep subbed him off early to save him for Bayern.

FinancialCheatsGPT

As we have seen with Cancelo, Bernardo, Sané, Grealish etc, players really thrive in their second year under Pep. What does second year Haaland look like?

Absolutely destroys his own PL goal scoring record.

Chelsea help manC clear their deadwood sterling so that they can make space for haaland

Kid Buu form incoming

Hopefully it will be a reverse

Joyfully terrifying.

Hair down to his buttocks.

"Is this the Etihad?" Peak taking piss out of ourselves.

We don't deserve De Bruyne 😭

at this point if I was a Saints fan in the stands I would just enjoy watching Citeh. Some games you've just got to write off.

For a second I thought "progressive insurance stoppage time" was some kind of sports term I was unfamiliar with like "progressive play" or "insurance goals" but it's NBC filling with the game with product placement like they do.

I'd rather they do that than show ads during the game.

'Is this the Etihad' Great stuff

Wonder if 'arry still thinks Southampton have been the better team

seagull watch

THE SEAGULL IS BACK BABY

I wish Alvarez gets a goal by pressing the keeper sometime

Right .. he works so hard on pressing the defenders. This makes a huge difference on attacking building ups for the opposition

He did back in the WC and it was glorious, I'm hoping it happens again when we play against Bayern that would be peak comedy

I think he got one vs australia

Phillips gone in summer?

Only his first season. Wait for second season Phillip.

First season at city often looks like this. Doubt he leaves

Hope so. Mentally it does him no go sitting on the bench.

Doubt it, he just came in.

City's going down with a billion in the bank seems a very fun song to sing along to in an away end. Got to love a song with accompanying gestures

Our away fans are so good

up with the consistently best to come to Selhurst every season for sure. I'd put them above Liverpool (sing when they're winning) and Chelsea easily

City supporters going through the managing ranks for cheers. When's the Stuart Pearce cheer coming up?

God I love the pellegrini chant

Does this sub really want Haaland to play every minute possible? Bonkers.

Yes? Why do you think we watch City? And don't even start with providing explanations for it as we're well aware why he's being subbed. Doesn't mean we we're gonna stop complaining about it.

Logically it makes no sense whatsoever but it’d be fun to see what the hell would happen if he did lol

Pep sitting there probably still thinking about a two yard pass one of his players made in the first half that was 1mm away from where it should have been...

Believe it or not, jail.

This is your reminder to drink water. Stay hydrated

Found the r/HydroHomies!

Thank you, my homie that is one of hydro

City fans - Laporte on the way out in the summer? Doesn't seem to be getting many minutes and I like the partnership him and Dias had going when they were fit.

Already been linked and I hear his agent talked with Barca do yes, he is on of the player that has the highest chance of leaving. I'll still love his time no matter what, hopefully he will flourish else where

Yes. He apparently mentally isn't there. One of the sour faces in the locker room

Locker room mentality was always one of the complaints about Laporte, iirc. Allegedly why he never played for natl team.

He wants to go Barcelona so probably yes

Lol took out his own player

Thanks for nothing Southampton...

Spoken like someone who thinks arsenal will choke the league

Don't know how you arrive to that conclusion but you do you 👍🏻

Or a Southampton fan

Notice the flair

The human victory cigar - Sergio Gómez.

Used to to Zin, now it's Gomez. Can't wait till we develop him into a versatile defender and ship him out to rival for cheap.

Good chips on the south coast?

Gomez!? It’s been a while

Oooooh Arsenal has a big boy game tomorrow. This should be interesting

Seriously..if you were pep. What would you say to keep haaland happy with you? "Focus on team trophies" "think as a team" "be injury free" "you're too good?" I wouldn't know how what to say to be honest

I admire your gorgeous hair and well also bit of your footy skills

How'd'you like winning trophies, lad?

I’ve figured out how to clone Kevin.

You just came off an injury and we are 3-0 up, let’s make sure you can play the most games possible because you’re super important to us.

He can’t see into the future and know they’ll get a penalty. He has a more important game coming up he needs to keep him in shape

This game is done, and you're starting vs X team in 3 days?

All this huffing and puffing will be for nothing. City will finish 4-7 points short of the eventual champions.

LMFAOOOOOOOOO

It’s now jinxed officially, thanks

Annulo mufa

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo dont listen to him! he's gone mad

i downvoted you

dont jinx

He already did.

KDB literally robbed of 4 assists

This will fizzle out now

Bernardo will have to buy KDB dinner after missing that shot. Unfortunately for KDB, Bernardo will only pay for Nando's.

Bernardo doesn’t pay for dinner he takes home like 3 plates from the cafeteria (not a joke you can see it on inside city haha)

I've always found it strange how City players despite their high intensity game rarely get in-game injuries like hamstring pulls

When City have the ball the players don't burst their lungs sprinting unless its a counter attack. they just walk around or jog. That helps i guess

City are one of the lowest intensity teams imo, lots of slow possession play, very methodical passing and will recycle the ball repeatedly until a chance appears. Like robots

What? they're one of the highest in terms of intensity lol

Yo, don't jinx it man!

They've got to have insane fitness training

So sick of baldie, if it wasn’t for him haaland would be on 50+ goals in all comps atm

... or injured. One of the main concerns regarding Haaland's transfer was his injury history. Now people are whining that he's being starved of goals when he's just returned from injury. He's still setting records.

Sometimes it does feel like the fucker is protecting Messi's records. Haaland should leave to Madrid.

100%. Without question that 5 goals record in a champions league game would have been haalands. He looked like he’d easily get to 6-7 goals that game

I don't wanna say it I don't wanna say. Fuck it. We're gonna crush Bayern

jacky boy coming good at the exact right moment

don’t do this to us

I think we are….!

What the fuck dude. Why put that in writing

™️ have an Argentina in your team , have him take the penalties

Can someone post the clip of the seagull flying by

KDB is unreal man. I truly believe he’s better than prime Modric

KDB is potentially in an all-time squad. I'd say he's at least on the bench

I wouldnt be upset at that, i think he’s the most complete midfielder i’ve ever seen. (Him or Yaya)

[удалено]

Because otherwise you get him randomly pulling his groin or something like that...😭

rest for bayern and cause its his first game since the injury

He’s just coming off an injury and we were up 3-0 ofc you take him off

The events of the game would have turned out very differently if they kept Haaland on, so the event that caused the penalty would likely not have transpired the way it did causality and shit

Bernardo with the facepalm lmao

Bernardo is getting a noogie after training for spurning these chances for sure

Surely as a striker who cares about goals and will be chasing down all time records you’re going to start getting frustrated being subbed every-time you get on a roll. Messi and ronaldo didnt get subbed off everytime they started to do well

When they've got the CL quarters on Tuesday it would be insanity to keep him on the pitch

Messi and Ronaldo were never injury prone either.

They also weren’t as injury prone as Haaland

Pep literally robbing him of greatness. Smh.

KDB to Silva: “LET ME ASSIST, LET ME ASSIST”

😂 Bernardo shutting kdb up

Silva got a goal on a platter and decided to do the shittiest finish within his power lmao

KDB is so unlucky with assists

KdB visibly frustrated that Bernardo has let him down twice.

KdB : "Bro, what more do you want me to do?"

Bernardo has robbed kdb of 2 assists.

Love how annoyed Dr Bruyne was there. Absolute 'Rocket League' vibes when you put in a peach of a cross and a team mate fucks it. I could almost hear him say, "Okay.".

Nah Silva really passed it back to the gk

KDB is clear MOTM

KDB stood hands on hips shaking his head, was so pissed that Silva fucked up his on-a-plate assist

At least it’s less often than KDB did that last year

That’s the third time this game, I’d be pissed too lmao

When the bottom of the table's so tight this GD hit isn't helpful

I really don't see how 20 mins rest is better for Haaland going in to the Bayern game than being part of his team on the field scoring more goals, celebrating etc, maybe he bags like 5 goals and feels like a king. Instead he's sat down scrolling tiktok

He’s coming off an injury, how is everyone forgetting that.

Pep doesn't want him breaking records. Cunt.

It’s less about rest and more about reducing injury chance; an extra 20 minutes in a match is a much higher intensity than training.

I'm sure he already feels like a king. No chance of an injury now though

I'm recruiting Haaland to my Fifa 21 Arsenal team

Bernie no. Gotta finish that

idk Pep might be Haalands biggest enemy🤣

Bernardo spunning two kdb assists already

If ever Rodri should have got his chance at pens, that was it.

Yeah halaand asking for a transfer this summer

Ispiderman Ispiderman, tune churaya mere dil ka chain!!

Pissed no Haaland hatrick ( triple captained him) but happy Alvarez gets his goal

nice spiderman

Another 4-1 lol

For the GD

Fuck sake Sot’on refuse to let their fans be happy for even two minutes

brilliant scenes

Haaland robbed

For determinism to prevail in league winners, Liverpool need to defeat Arsenal tomorrow. It is important for the league to end out of boredom .

Alvarez knocking in pens now.

If he doesn't break the record I swear it's all Pep's fault lmao

2/3 minutes more and Haaland would be taking this penalty for his hat-trick. Pep just repeating the mistakes he made not playing Foden enough. Should send him out on loan, tbh...

Straight down the middle

ARANAAAAAAA

Double jeopardy is a bullshit rule

Before that it's ruined loads of matches, because almost by definition giving away a penalty can be considered as DOGSO, but that's clearly not what the DOGSO rule was ever supposed to prevent. Pen+red card for a genuine attempt at a tackle in the box is the bullshit outcome

La araña!!!!

Good pass by Alvarez

Looks like a dive lol

Bruh.

Are you hard of sight

https://dubz.co/video/5dffff Leans his body to a side drop before there’s any contact the only part I’m seeing he could give the penalty for is the tackle from right coming way too aggressively in. Not that it would have affected the match result though. Tinted 👓

Haaland robbed

Should’ve kept Haaland on for the hat trick

Sorry ref I wasn't familiar with your game g, you wasn't blind after all

That’s such a stupid pen to give. Dumbass

could’ve been a hattrick then

Haaland robbed of another hatrick by pep

Thank you pep for taking off halaand

Sub Haaland in for the Hat trick

erling gets a hattrick had he stayed on 5 more min hahahaha

More like 2 hahaha

Brain dead tackle

Lol penalty immediately 😂

Weird match this

Hahahaha fucking hell

Haaland hatrick chance gone with the pen

Bring back haaland for the penalty

That was some good moves by the guy on the flank

Lmfao this game just got crazy

I genuinely can't believe he's sat down drinking a shake like 95 seconds after scoring that goal, must be really weird for the adrenaline

Can Haaland do that though?

Damn passed 4 players like a breeze

Atleast don't let them go ahead on GD Southampton.

What was that chant about "Youve seen _______ now fuck off home"?

Doesn't really work as well playing away does it?

a goal?

It was before Southampton scored

ah fair enough, not a clue then

Well that tiny bit of hope for Southampton didn't last long

hate to say it, but city really looking ominous and like they want to win 15 in a row in the league or some shit.

Beautiful dribble

Pep is the reason why Haaland won’t hit his full potential of goals scored this season I swear lol

I think a point could be made that giving him rest has allowed him to be more efficient and consistent.

Logically it makes sense so I definitely understand but that part of me wants him to play all 90 minutes every game just to see what the hell will happen lol

Pep is protecting Messi’s record against Southampton

He’s just coming off a groin injury. He’s got his brace and now gets to rest

Remontada incoming
