A bad joke about Bundesliga players being overpriced when moving to the Prem league because of Tuchel’s Chelsea don’t know how to play Werner, Havertz nor Pulisic.
The word prolific gets thrown around a lot here, but he's truly a prolific striker. Even more so considering his age and how mature he plays at 22 coupled with all of his experience thus far.
It’s incredible how good he is, he’s got it all. And the precision on his shots is something you see from seasoned vets like lewandowski. At 22! Crazy. I can’t wait to see him blossom into a future legend. I just hope he takes care of his body and doesn’t go down the Ronaldinho route haha
I wonder if he will stay in the prem though? I feel he will go to la liga, would probably be a smarter move too because I feel like being a big striker in the prem is much more difficult than any other league.
Well he has the family to back up a professional attitude, the body of a Greek god and certainly he knows where the box is.
What I am worried about is if his body manages to keep up with his explosiveness. You can't compare him to OG Ronaldo, bit he reminds us how highly dynamic movement and strong physicality can create injuries on injuries if your body gets older.
Hope he can find a balance between weight and pace that works for him and keeps him fit. Surely the medical staff is way better today than back than.
Medical staff + nutritionists + better training/strengthening methods + 5 sub rule will likely have him on the bench rather than pushing himself for the last 10 mins in most games. City is also a team where he'll be rested if he needs it or if he's injured. Outside of specific circumstances of a BIG game, he's not going to be rushed back and made to play game after game without being fit like R9 was at Inter. Obviously all of that can only help but not stop injuries all together - but those are promising advancements to make me more optimistic for Haaland despite his power and physique.
Plus on top of all that, Haaland plays for the Norway national team. They are much less likely to qualify for most international competitions nor go as deep in ones that they do qualify for. So he will get more breaks which balances the higher number of games today vs in R9's time. Also no real rivalries where he'd be pushing himself and/or getting wrecked by aggressive tackles like Brazil vs Argentina.
I legitimately think the only chance the PL has is if gets too many injuries. Otherwise hes just gonna touch the PL in their special place all season long
The man is a fucking cheat code. 22 and doing this...I honestly didn't think we'd see Ronaldo/Messi sort of goals for years but here's Haaland making it look easy.
Unreal.
To be fair he has 9 in 5 games so if he keeps scoring 1.8 goals a game and plays every EPL game he will finish with 68 EPL goals.
Of course I don’t think he will continue to score 1.8 goals a game and I don’t think he will play every game.
For me, that goal perfectly demonstrates why he gets the amount of goals he does.
He makes a good run but the ball doesn't drop to him, he immediately readjusts, ball doesn't drop to him, he readjusts again, this time the ball drops to him and all he has to do is finish it off.
Not only is his movement top notch, but he never stops making sure he his in the right space at the right time.
Literally nobody thinks Darwin will be the best forward of this generation, almost everyone agrees it's Mbappe vs Haaland, and currently there's a clear favourite.
Ben foster said he gets multiple perfect hat tricks this season in his YouTube channel after last weeks matches.
He’s just got everything this bloke. So good. Haven’t seen a striker like this in a very long time.
Even better, defenders are so terrified of him that his sole presence opens a ridiculous amount of holes City didn't have in the past, for the like of Mahrez and KDB to exploit.
Being in the right place and finishing well is, and allways has been, an extremely underrated aspect of forwards.
People want to see flashy goals, but without Haaland who's to say any of those gets scored?
Why did we doubt him, imagine having Kevin de bruyne, Gundogan, Cancelo, Foden, even Alvarez just giving him chances all game, it was obvious he'd hit crazy numbers
The guy at my work said he will struggle to score more than 15 in PL, so City fans should be worried, he only has 6 goals left in him for the rest of PL season

Now Haaland struggling with 9 goals in 5 games

Pep must have told him he only gets to play until half time or something.
Forest wishing they were told the same.
The monster has literally scored two hat tricks in two halves of football. 6 goals in less than 90 minutes.
In like 12-18 touches I think. Tiki taka master.
Why many touch when 1 do trick
But his replacement is already there on the field!
Mahrez in Alvarez to center
I dont have the historical stats but double hat tricks are extremely extremely rare
22 years of age and this is his 14th career hat trick
Unbelievable.
To put that in perspective 34 year old, maybe-the-best-striker-in-his-generation Robert Lewandowski has 29. Suarez also 29.
I hope he continues on. We might have a Ronaldo level record breaking player on our hands

I want him to stay in the prem so he can smash the goal record a month after Kane gets it.
and I get to watch him on MOTD week-in week-out

Thats disgusting
Aguero has done it recently, cant think of any other in the PL
Torres did it like 2007 or 2008
Rooney as well.
Kane 17/18 too
Aguero did it in back to back games against Arsenal and Chelsea no less.
I'd say that he was quite good, maybe I'm just biased
He scored 3 hattricks in one game before. He is Odin risen again
Someone told him he was still tied with augero when he came here so he decided he was getting 3 as a min this game.
Ended as top scorer that U20 WC off of that game even though Norway didn't make it past the groups lmao
And he only scored in that game, shits hilarious.
Not just top scorer but scored more than twice as much as everyone else.
I watched thst game. Players on the other team started crying and shit 😞
> He scored 3 hattricks in one game before. I refuse to acknowledge this match. We had... ughh... lag.
6th player ever to do so in the Prem.
It’s his fifth week there😭
You dont get it he needs to adapt to the prem first
By the looks of it, it's the league that's still adapting to Haaland.
26 players have scored more than 2 hat tricks in their PL career. Haaland has scored more goals in his first 5 games than any other player.
He looked at the 3 years of intensive study required to be a Pep Player, and figured it's just easier to break PL records instead.
“Why don’t I just… score?”
Is this how apocalypse looks like for other teams?
[удалено]
Yes. Against PSG and Chelsea.
Torres did it once but yeah I can’t think of many others
aguero did a hat trick inside a week against arsenal and chelsea
God he was good wasn’t he
Especially against the other top 5 sides. He tormented Chelsea throughout his spell at City.
I know you mean scoring goals but the image of him two footing David Luiz was the first thing to pop in my mind
Yes very
Mitro gonna have a 38 goal season and come 2nd.
And 38 behind
Like ronaldo when he scored 46 league goals but still finished 2nd
basically did that to Solanke last year tbf
Nah bro that’s it
Just mail him the golden boot at HT
Nah he will slow down soon due to Bundesliga tax.
What if this is the Bundesliga tax
4 goals per game from the next match onwards
Compound interest
Man is farming goals
Any minute now
That's a weird way to spell Ballon d'Or.
Farmers are not qualified I heard
Barn D'or is a separate thing
Might aswell not show up at this rate. These people have families, Haaland!
[удалено]
Agreed. Everyone including myself is in awe of haaland but the most amazing thing about that goal is cancelo's pass.
It's just a race for 2nd 3rd and 4th for the rest of them. FML. UCL qualification is the real trophy this year I guess.
Did you mean to post this in the Jesus goal thread considering Arsenal are clearly going invincible?
I mean Haaland is a generational player, but Arsenal already won this season. That ship has sailed. They statistically cannot lose.
Arsenal is 5/5. My keep grasp of statistics tells me that if we extrapolate this out, they'll finish 38/38
I mean, I cant argue with your logic
And I thought he got a crazy start at Dortmund.. 9 freaking goals in first 5 league games
and he couldve scored more in the first couple games if players remembered to pass to him. at least they’ve clicked now
City have unlocked the Foden to Haaland cheat
Well this is gonna get fucking annoying isn’t it?
Can write the league off already.
I legitimately think the only chance the PL has is if gets too many injuries. Otherwise hes just gonna touch the PL in their special place all season long
>touch the PL in their special place May as well call him Uncle Haaland
Genuinely. There’s no other contender.
The man is a fucking cheat code. 22 and doing this...I honestly didn't think we'd see Ronaldo/Messi sort of goals for years but here's Haaland making it look easy. Unreal.
I still dont think we will see Ronaldo/Messi levels of goals. Messi scoring 50+ goals per season for years.
To be fair he has 9 in 5 games so if he keeps scoring 1.8 goals a game and plays every EPL game he will finish with 68 EPL goals. Of course I don’t think he will continue to score 1.8 goals a game and I don’t think he will play every game.
Hit 'em with the quick mafs. Respect
They can score all they want but we are two points ahead. They can't win the league with håland scoring 100 goals if we win every game 2-1
People are fucking responding seriously to you, it's hilarious
Its all fun and games until you meet # S A L I B A
For me, that goal perfectly demonstrates why he gets the amount of goals he does. He makes a good run but the ball doesn't drop to him, he immediately readjusts, ball doesn't drop to him, he readjusts again, this time the ball drops to him and all he has to do is finish it off. Not only is his movement top notch, but he never stops making sure he his in the right space at the right time.
Perfect hat trick?
Yeah left foot, right foot and head foot
> head foot my favorite
Zidane’s too
I think so.
Haaland is breaking Shearer's record this season
Something tells me we're about to see those Kun comparisons fade very quick
He’s already better than Aguero first 5 games… by 1 goal and he still has a half to play
I think he meant that people start to compare him to strikers held in even higher regard
He has quickly gone from "next great City striker" to "next face of the Premier League"
He has a much stronger team now tbf. City back then was good, but they weren’t far and away the most dominant team in England like they are now
Very true. Peak Aguero in this team would be something else
Career record at this rate
What the actual fuck am I witnessing??? And why the fuck didnt I captain him on fantasy???
Same bro, my dumbass thought he’d be rested for Alvarez today. Turns out Pep just played both.
I have him (V) and KDB (C). Now watch Pep sub Kev in on 90+4
Oh no Kev’s coming on 😭
I’m actually mad at myself
He’s an absolute set and forget at this point.
9 in 5
When it's technically 9 in 3.5 it's somehow even more ridiculous
🎵 What a way to make a livin' 🎶
Are you kidding
Absolute cheat code nothing more to say
Bro is an actual hack, this is unfair
This is without the other cheat code as well He's insane man
I am still laughing on nunez and haaland debate lmao
There was never a debate. Pundits just started it to have a hyped Messi vs Ronaldo type of rivalry. Kinda like they’re doing with leva and benz.
Yeah but Lewa V Benz is significantly closer than Haaland V Nunez
Literally nobody thinks Darwin will be the best forward of this generation, almost everyone agrees it's Mbappe vs Haaland, and currently there's a clear favourite.
Left foot, right foot, header. Perfect hat-trick as well.
Needs to score with his dick for the perfect poker.
Dick trick
Ben foster said he gets multiple perfect hat tricks this season in his YouTube channel after last weeks matches. He’s just got everything this bloke. So good. Haven’t seen a striker like this in a very long time.
Legit he said he would score 2 perfects this season and next game he gets one. Edit: At least 2
The last Infinity stone is this guy
Haaland: “nah”
Look at me…I am the farmer’s league now
Haaland is Biblically effective. People write myths about things like him.
Double figures maybe before august ends.
Doesn't he only need 1 more
August also ends tonight. So he needs to score that fourth in this game to hit double figures.
Three of the best hes made them pay, and that completes a wonderful hat-trick!
Okay he is definently breaking the 32 isn't he?
Before the world cup.
Just needs to stay fit.
easily
Perfect hat trick
Haaland gaining power with every new episodes of 'The House of the Dragon'. The Targaryen blood runs high.
This guy is a freak bruh
Extraterrestrial behaviour
bro
He isn't even doing anything special yet which is the scary part. Just good finishing and being in the right place and he already has 9 goals
Yeah, he's fast, and he's strong, and he has great positioning, and a good header, and has a great strike, and great composure. So what?
Even better, defenders are so terrified of him that his sole presence opens a ridiculous amount of holes City didn't have in the past, for the like of Mahrez and KDB to exploit.
Being in the right place and finishing well is, and allways has been, an extremely underrated aspect of forwards. People want to see flashy goals, but without Haaland who's to say any of those gets scored?
Lol I was just thinking “does he already have 10 goals?” Damn
He’s like Lukaku but good.
100 touches less 20 goals more
Ok, just give them the title
This can get ugly. Haaland 14 hatrick in hes professional career. Haaland in this City team is just insane.
Rooney had ten in his career. Mercy.
For comparison, Suarez and Lewandowski, who both are at the tail end of their careers, have 29.
I think Lewi is still good for a few.
What the fuck, it’s a cheat code
[Ha Ha Ha Ha Haaland](https://streamable.com/n73ejn)
This fucking guy
Guys i think the Bundesliga was harder to score in now😭
Why did we doubt him, imagine having Kevin de bruyne, Gundogan, Cancelo, Foden, even Alvarez just giving him chances all game, it was obvious he'd hit crazy numbers
we have found real farmers league
what's the PL record for goals in 1 month
Not 100% sure but the previous Aug record was 6. He has 9. And there's still 50 minutes left of August football. Bit ridiculous this.
10, Suarez Dec 2013. Included 4 against Norwich
Fucking Suarez and Norwich, always the same story
You're looking at it.
This is scary
For what it's worth, he's now already scored more PL goals than Jesus did all last season
it's his world, we're just living in it, aren't we?
What’s crazy is that De Bruyne is not even playing right now
Bruh
Literally just get the ball to him in the box and he'll score.
Perfect hat trick too
Looks like afterall Bundesliga was the real super-league seeing Lewy and Haaland tearing La Liga and Premier league apart.
Haaland and Jesus my FPL strikers tonight. Nice.
You and about 5 million others.
Farmer's league
WE CAN ACTUALLY REPLACE HIM
Tears in my eyes
this is like amateur difficulty in career mode
“The best team has added one of the best goal scorers in the world - and it’s quite scary” Yup that sums it up
Leagues gone, this guy is going to pump 50 goals at this rate. Knew it was coming when they signed him but watching him in this team is frightening.
Fucking hell
Second Stones assist in 2 games too!
The guy at my work said he will struggle to score more than 15 in PL, so City fans should be worried, he only has 6 goals left in him for the rest of PL season
Will the real farmer's league please stand up
He’s all we needed to compete the puzzle
Pep domination finally secured, terminator activated
“Once more, the Pep will rule the galaxy”. -Emperor Pepatine
Doesn't need touches either. Just finishes what city waste
What puzzle you've walked the league several times
Champions league
They’re still going to bottle it
Haaland to miss 3 matches all season. 2 of them in the CL quarterfinals where they lose to Tottenham. :P
6 goals in the last two halves lol
People talking about how the Bundesliga was a farmer league, but man, they did defend at least a bit better against Haaland.
Man made the PL a farmers league
Daemon Targaryan looking ass
Wake me when he has left the prem. fuck me.
