Premier League 21/22: Gameweek 22 (Feb 3-8)

[Gooner Zig]

Apparently Haaland had zero touches in Sp**s' penalty box the entire game.

Yikes.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Souness is blaming the wide players and the midfielders and not Haaland saying they're taking too many touches and not releasing the ball early enough. He says City should stop trying to score the perfect goal and use Haaland more

 

[Batman]

Haaland is just too one dimensional. If he's not scoring then he does absolutely nothing. He doesn't press despite the fact that he's huge and rapid and should be good at it, he's a horrible passer and he can't dribble to save his life. Pep has never had success with this sort of player. The football looks terrible out there at times. They should probably drop him and play Alvarez and see if that makes a difference.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Pep gonna end up giving Haaland the treatment he gave Ibra. Tho City don't have the luxury of Messi, Pedro and Henry

Strange transfer tbh, Pep didn't succeed with Zlatan at Barca but he still bought Haaland and it doesn't look good at all.

 

[Rasmi]

Carragher saying that Haaland may have picked the wrong club to get the best put of him. He says that are a differebt team and a lesser team with Haaland there. He goes on to say it's not Haaland's fault.

An absolute idiot who is a prisoner of the moment. The man has 25 league goals already. No striker has been ever close to this after 21 games. These guys forget all the great strikers had quite games, in no other team would he have been at 25 goals because no team is close to city when creating cut backs that lead to tap ins

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Top top pundit, Neville take notes.

 

[Sniper Mik]

How have City not scored at Sp*rs new stadium yet?

 

[dashsnow17]

Micah Richards wears suits at least two sizes too small someone needs to intervene here

 

[blaze_of_glory]

We went in there and ran that place easily, we're better than City

 

[boonthegoon]

He's losing it

 

[Rasmi]

He's losing it

I hope the PL suspend him. This is England. Don’t disrespect an English legend like that

Great results for us this week, one game less to play and still 5 points + a game in front. United only thing gone wrong though, but Casemiro will miss two games against leeds and the leicester game

Very true re Haaland but he did say that City are on the same number of goals as they were last season but aren't actually better. No slight on Haaland but more an observation that he might ne a bad fit-atm. Souness put it well when he said the wide players and midfield have to do better. Either way, it suits us if City falter

 

[Farzad Stoned]

It is crazy people think a guy who scored 25 goals in 20 league matches is crap now. He doesn’t suit City’s style but honestly tons of their players are having bad years all at once. Silva, Gundo, Rodri, De Bruyne, Walker, and Foden have been really poor this season. To me they got dissension in the lockeroom and look tired and complacent. It is just a team that has played a ton of competitions and won a ton lately and needs a reset.


The question is can Pep get the team to change it’s DNA for one great Striker? And are those players willing to buy in.
