Had a **** game yesterday but unless you're a goldfish you should remember he's the main reason we're where we are.

Gomez was going the same at Bayern ten years ago, they replaced him with an inferior goal scorer in Mandzukic and went from second in all competitions to treble winners.
Haaland is the best pure goalscorer around but his overall game is lacking in comparison.

Mbappe been stinking it up recently. Recency bias sure but going on 2023 form no one can speak to RKM he's creating dribbling stretching dominating in the air and now finishing at world class level.I like Muani but over Mbappe? Can’t get on board with that.
Also Balde is nowhere near best current left-back in world football. He may get there one day but still way too raw and has it all to prove.
Not sure you appreciate how good Gomez numbers were at the time. Can think of Cristiano and van Nistelrooy who scored 40+ before Gomez did in 2012, the game used to be more defensive and it wasn't as top heavy today. Gomez in this City team would probably score a couple more.I get the Gomez comparison but those numbers weren't anywhere near Haaland's. Gomez topped out at 41 goals in 52 games while Haaland is current sitting on 47 goals in just 40 games played.
I do agree that Haaland's overall game could improve a lot but just pure numbers wise he's in like mythical territory right now, and he's doing it in both the Prem and the CL.
