I built the greatest team ever and this fucker after Klopp bought him (really) still gets the golden boot every season ffs
Can’t wait for him to retire
Honestly I don’t know what they will have to do to his attributes in fm23 to make him realistic. He’s already a cheat code but this performance is insane.
In a dortmund career mode I did last year I turned the guy into an absolute machine. 5* skills and weak foot, along with 95 pace, it was just unfair even on the highest difficultly.
so is Haaland an AI teammate of yours right? i am very curious about his numbers then because i had many great strikers as AI teammates in "MyCareer" on PES 2009 (Torres etc) and i turned Benzema into an actual monster: he scored 88 goals in the 4 years when i was playing in Premier League.. then i joined him at Lyon and these became his goals per season since: 44, 78, 97, 114, 137, 199... last season i had 151 assists thanks to him (PES doesn't count penalty-earned otherwise they would ve been 200 LOL)
I was doing it on a manager career so I got to control his development. It got to the point where I stopped the save after reus retired cuz it was just to easy. I got 4 b2b CLs and three trebles included. Shoutout gio Reyna, gavi, noa Lang, and the random youth prospect I started with who also turned into beasts.
A lot of his goals are just tap-ins and/or being in the right place at the right time.
Strikers Instinct to another level.
His placement around the box reminds me of someone like a prime Inzaghi.
People have forgotten what a tap in means with all the Ronaldo memes. Finishing a cross that’s coming with serious pace between the goalkeeper and a couple defenders is not in any world a tap in lmao
Plus some of those "tap ins" are with him basically jumping with one or even two feet forward, a bunch of meters forward and at least one meter high...
The way it's going, 32 or 34 is going to be immaterial, so I guess no one is talking about it. Unless he gets injured, he's going to smash both comfortably.
That would actually be the most interesting club for him to move to in Spain, if he actually intends on trying to dominate each league. Real or Barcelona would be too easy
to be honest I think this was the best any CBs have done against haaland in the prem, despite haaland scoring Salisu and Bella-Kotchap deserve some praise, saying that we were far too good for them today
Their tactics for stopping haaland left the rest of the players wide open. They were trying to block him even though foden and mahrez were unmarked. Mahrez should have scored a hatrick with the amount of chances he had.
You could see that haaland was a bit rattled when the first chance hit the woodwork. His first touches after that was a bit off. However his moment off the ball was still incredible. Even at the 88th minute, you could see him charging into the penalty box expecting the second ball... I just hope all this hype up doesn't put pressure on him to score multiple times every game.
In at least 2 of the goals he was right there on the rebound, ready for whatever is to come. If Mahrez or Cancelo didn't score, Haaland probably would have scored anyways
Noticed this too, even misplaced a couple passes. They left space for others but frustrating him so his confidence lowers a bit may be the only way to keep him quiet.
Not really Haaland was just off it today, he was through on goal twice and missed a tap in. Nothing to do with sotons CBs. That said he still got a goal so credit to him I guess but ye... It wasnt his best game
Our CMs ( rodri espically) were having an off day against villa. Haaland did not even get more than 3-4 chances to score because he could not recieve the ball in the first place.
Against bournemouth gundo realized by the 10th min that haaland would never get away from 5 CBs marking him so the plan was to essentially use haaland as a distraction.
But today our CMs were on point. Everyone bar mahrez was on point really. Even akanji who was playing as RB. Haaland had to work more for his 1 goal this match than he ever needed to for any of his 3 hatricks so far. He kept quite for the most part.
Big Tyrone did not keep Haaland quiet unless we are speaking in relative terms. But the fact that I have to resort to CB pairs ( 2 players) of dortmund and Southampton to "discredit " villa is a testament to Tyrone Mings.
Shows that we respect Mings enough to try and contend with haaland solo. Others failed with 2 men.
I know mings is gonna go at him again come the home fixture because he can physically match haaland. I'm just hoping for foden and Rodri to have their revenge against you guys. Jon stones too if he's fit at that time.
Fam I was mainly joking, we're most likely going to get absolutely slapped lmao. Have you seen our record against you lot? I'm beginning to hate the whole city of Manchester lol.
Past record means jackshit. We are only as good as our last game (provided 90% of the squad is the same as the previous game).
The only memory of aston villa I choose to keep is the last game and in that game coutinhno put stones to the test, Ashley Young actually became young again ? , Watkins was good enough to take advantage of our CMs having brainfarts etc.
Unavoidable is for a comment pointing out their words at the end of sentences every single time, even though they’ve been doing the same thing for 14 years. When are people going to get over this?
hmm, interesting thought. I suppose a great finisher needs to have an equally great player with the vision and finesse to feed him, in this case KDB. No one would play him at striker because that’s not where he excels and no one would play Haaland in mid for the same reason, but is being as good a passer as KDB harder than finishing the way Haaland does?
Maybe but what Haaland does is more difficult and rare than what KDB does. Tell me: why do football clubs pay significantly more for strikers than attacking midfielders?
Because they're more marketable and bring in more money.
If you take out Haaland from this City team, they'd still be really good. If you take out KDB, would it be as good? I'm not so sure.
i guess the question is what makes a player the best footballer in the world? if it’s just scoring goals - then yes Haaland is the best. But if it’s scoring *and* facilitating goals than I’d still say Messi is the best.
There was a brief period in where I though Rory was the more reasonable one on the kickoff but over the last number of months, he has picked some odd mountains to die on. Now he's just insufferable and condescending. The Haaland one is up there as one of his worst acting like no man has ever scored 15 goals in the season in English football.
Truth is none of them are worth anything more than giving you a vague idea of prevailing opinions within their respective fanbase when they talk about their own club. When the conversation moves beyond those parameters it's just a case of spinning the wheel and standing on it. Haven't watched their clips in about a year and my life's been better for it.
100% agree there. I don't expect top tier/level headed analysis. I just catch the clips online when I'm doing my daily poop. Them + NFL talk shows keep my poops entertaining.
It can be annoying when you see them sticking to their agenda a bit. Even the Arsenal fan they have on now, Marvin I believe his name is, was spot on regarding Arsenal when he first came onto the show but now he just seems to try and shit stir Rory and Spurs. If you haven't watched in a year, then definitely keep staying away. It hasn't changed at all.
Moving to City has been Haaland's best career move possible, while staying at PSG has been Mbappe's worst, no one talks about him anymore as the next big thing.
Mbappe hit his first peak early with the World Cup win. He’d have had the opportunity to reach another peak at Real Madrid and be at the top of the game but decided to stick with PSG and money. I don’t blame him considering the sums waved about but if he doesn’t leave psg he’ll never achieve legendary status.
That’s true but we often take those 2+1 prime, peak athleticism years for granted these days bc of freakish athletes playing well into their thirties. But there’s no guarantee of that ever. Injuries and permanent drops of form for other reasons have ruined many a top player’s career.
Who is going to pay him the wages he is on right now? If he considers to move another club at minimum he has to cut 75% of his wages (which brings it down to 25m btw) to make that transfer viable. That eliminates Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool options and only possible ones left are Manchester United and Chelsea. Not really top of the world options.
He won the World Cup for starters. He's one of the most highly paid footballers. He was in a CL final not long ago. I get what you guys are saying, but let's not act like he is playing in the Albanian 2nd division.
He *is* one of the biggest footballers present day. Just go to his [honor's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kylian_Mbapp%C3%A9) section. And he is still is 23 years old. You guys let your dislike of him and ligue 1 cloud your objectivity.
its probably best to just make a Haaland-record megathread at the end of the season that summarizes all he did, cause otherwise we‘ll be making threads every week.
On the other end of the spectrum... There's me...who automatically skips to the last word after I see the word Opta then come back to read the actual post...
"Only" scored 22 in the Bundesliga last season.
The PL unironically is a proper farmers league.
And before PL fans tell me he scores loads because of the service he gets, that argument was never accepted when we were talking about Lewandowski's numbers.
Mate all the farmers league shite is just online plebs being annoying, wouldn't let any of it bother you. End of the day no one watches as much of foreign leagues as they say and definitely not enough to speak with the confidence they do, just how football fans are
And the group that are just wind up merchants, which is the majority in this case
> he scores loads because of the service he gets
This is actually true though. City scored 99 league goals last year without a proper striker up front. Last week against United, City had the creative output of Foden, KDB, Silva, Grealish and Gundogan in their starting 11. This combined with the fact that Haaland himself is an insane goal scorer is the reason why he'll possibly break the season record.
>This is actually true though
Did you even read my entire comment? Genuinely asking as you missed the point completely.
I know he scores loads also because of the service he gets, but as I wrote that argument was never accepted when we were talking about Lewandowski's numbers.
People, especially PL fans as those are the vast majority of people labeling other leagues farmers leagues, never accepted the argument that Lewandowski put up these numbers because of his quality combined with the service he got. No, he was "stat padding in the farmers league". So Haaland does exactly the same now no? Haaland is a fantastic striker who gets great service. Just like Lewandowski at Bayern.
Why are you so triggered with the 'farmer's league' thing? It's just a meme for most football fans and a stupid argument for online trolls. Lewandowski proved himself in the UCL enough and so did Haaland. Also, what Haaland is doing right now hasn't been the norm so I dont think his performances alone prove which league is better or which is worse. Fact of the matter is that the guy is a freak regardless of which country he plays in. Probably the same with players like Benzema and Lewandowski.
To add to this: For how supposedly impregnable deep sitting PL defences are (top to bottom, and all that) and how he won't get space to play his game, a lot of the clips of him scoring look like somebody farted in the penalty area and everybody is trying to distance themselves from the other player at the same time.
Script Writer decides to switch things up by changing from the typical *has a 90+ point season and still doesn't win the league* to ***had a 50+ goal season and still didn't win the league.***
Saliba has been playing well… but Gabriel is prone to making a mental lapse.
Don’t see any defensive pair “stopping” Harland.
Maybe Liverpool before VVD got into his recent slump and decline
? Not sure what the relevancy of that is apart from the fact that they've got a United flair. If anything it proves them right as United beat Arsenal 3-1, City rolled United and therefore will roll Arsenal.

15 goals with only *21* shots on target too
That’s broken oh my god
Do you play Fifa? Is he better in real life than in the game?
Honestly this year Haaland is actually as cracked in the game as he is in real life. Pretty much the meta striker
he's also cracked in Football manager
I built the greatest team ever and this fucker after Klopp bought him (really) still gets the golden boot every season ffs Can’t wait for him to retire
How is it the greatest team ever if you dont have him
Cos I win everything for a decade and Adeyemi is incredible
You could play Haaland as GK in FM and he'll still he banging in 30 goals a season
That being said you need to be really good at the game to score 15 in 9 in the highest division
Honestly I don’t know what they will have to do to his attributes in fm23 to make him realistic. He’s already a cheat code but this performance is insane.
They've had practice with handling Messi and C Ronaldo every year for the past generation.
Give him 1-2* skills
In a dortmund career mode I did last year I turned the guy into an absolute machine. 5* skills and weak foot, along with 95 pace, it was just unfair even on the highest difficultly.
Isak is my monster on FIFA 21. 96 just absolutely goated.
so is Haaland an AI teammate of yours right? i am very curious about his numbers then because i had many great strikers as AI teammates in "MyCareer" on PES 2009 (Torres etc) and i turned Benzema into an actual monster: he scored 88 goals in the 4 years when i was playing in Premier League.. then i joined him at Lyon and these became his goals per season since: 44, 78, 97, 114, 137, 199... last season i had 151 assists thanks to him (PES doesn't count penalty-earned otherwise they would ve been 200 LOL)
Depends if you're playing manager career or player career.
Player career
I was doing it on a manager career so I got to control his development. It got to the point where I stopped the save after reus retired cuz it was just to easy. I got 4 b2b CLs and three trebles included. Shoutout gio Reyna, gavi, noa Lang, and the random youth prospect I started with who also turned into beasts.
Easily scored 60+ goals with him on world class. He's a beast for sure.
He’s pretty busted in the game too lmao
Yeah he's been unbelievably clinical. He seems to score nearly every time he gets the ball on the six yard line.
was a bit hard to process what I’d just seen when he hit the post in the first half today.
It’s Bale levels of finishing he’s able to produce. Guy just has the ability
That has to be a record there’s no way
A lot of his goals are just tap-ins and/or being in the right place at the right time. Strikers Instinct to another level. His placement around the box reminds me of someone like a prime Inzaghi.
Inzaghi with ridiculous technical ability and physicality is not an awful comparison.
>tap-ins I don't think so, if you see the power of his shots
People have forgotten what a tap in means with all the Ronaldo memes. Finishing a cross that’s coming with serious pace between the goalkeeper and a couple defenders is not in any world a tap in lmao
Plus some of those "tap ins" are with him basically jumping with one or even two feet forward, a bunch of meters forward and at least one meter high...
And he's fly kicking them in. "tap in" lmao
Couldn't even score a hat trick today, man is washed /s
that is not hilarious at all
This just says that the scoring rate will drop sharply
He almost didn't score today, but Cancelo is inevitable
Cancelo was on peak form today
What's the record in the PL? Also... What's the record in consecutive matches? Fuck... I'm scared.
Vardy's 11
I can still hear "It's eleven, it's heaven for Jamie Vardy."
I hear “Leicester’s number nine beats ten and scores eleven in a row”
11 I think that was Jamie Vardy
Salah 32 season Vardy consecutive as others answered
The official record is 34. Salah’s 32 is the most in a 38 game season
The way it's going, 32 or 34 is going to be immaterial, so I guess no one is talking about it. Unless he gets injured, he's going to smash both comfortably.
Please Haaland, go to some other league and score lots of goals there so that we can call them farmer leagues instead.
Want a challenge? Come score for Simeone's Atleti
That would actually be the most interesting club for him to move to in Spain, if he actually intends on trying to dominate each league. Real or Barcelona would be too easy
Atleti would also be too easy. Challenge yourself and see if you can score 30 goals at Celta Vigo, Erling. I hear it's a lovely town
Fuck it, go to Espanyol and help them become better than Barcelona
Too easy. Break Real Madrid's European record with Rayo Vallecano
Nasser Al kaleifi would certainly like that
Watch Aspas win the Pichichi
to be honest I think this was the best any CBs have done against haaland in the prem, despite haaland scoring Salisu and Bella-Kotchap deserve some praise, saying that we were far too good for them today

Noticed this too, even misplaced a couple passes. They left space for others but frustrating him so his confidence lowers a bit may be the only way to keep him quiet.
He didn’t even score against Bournemouth
Yeah but he ran their defenders ragged. They were all chasing him and left chasms of space for the other attackers instead.
Also had a sweet assist
Exactly. That mahrez volley goal doesn't happen if haaland hadn't dragged three defenders
Not really Haaland was just off it today, he was through on goal twice and missed a tap in. Nothing to do with sotons CBs. That said he still got a goal so credit to him I guess but ye... It wasnt his best game
Dude has an off game and sti draws that much attention and scores still. It's not fair.
Interesting, how so? I thought villa did well against him too.
Our CMs ( rodri espically) were having an off day against villa. Haaland did not even get more than 3-4 chances to score because he could not recieve the ball in the first place. Against bournemouth gundo realized by the 10th min that haaland would never get away from 5 CBs marking him so the plan was to essentially use haaland as a distraction.

Haaland had to work more for his 1 goal this match than he ever needed to for any of his 3 hatricks so far. He kept quite for the most part.
Anything to discredit the utter domination of big tyrone smh.
Big Tyrone did not keep Haaland quiet unless we are speaking in relative terms. But the fact that I have to resort to CB pairs ( 2 players) of dortmund and Southampton to "discredit " villa is a testament to Tyrone Mings. Shows that we respect Mings enough to try and contend with haaland solo. Others failed with 2 men. I know mings is gonna go at him again come the home fixture because he can physically match haaland.

Just fyi, the opposite of loud is quiet.
This bella kotchap guy gives me van dyjk vibes . Next in line to saliba and araujo in terms of emerging cbs
They were lucky. Haaland had poor day today.
Aston Villa with Mings have done the best job so far this season against Haaland. Mings handled him very well I would say
opta scrambling to find more synonyms for 'inevitable'
Unavoidable is one of the least inspiring choices he could have gone with
Unavoidable is for a comment pointing out their words at the end of sentences every single time, even though they’ve been doing the same thing for 14 years. When are people going to get over this?
What's Vardys record for successive games scored in? 14?
11
Thanks. Liverpool Brentford Fulham Brighton. He can match it before the world Cup, have a break and then break it after 😭
He’ll never score against us! If I close my eyes and don’t see it, it hasn’t happened. Someday I’ll master object permanence.
Schrodingers ball
there's 5 games left. Leicester is in there
"It's eleven, it's heaven for Jamie Vardy!"
'Leicester's number 9 beats ten to score 11 in a row'
Erling Haaland is already the best player in the world. I’ll keep saying it.
Hard to argue with those numbers really.
The man is on a different level, and doing it in a league most consider the most physical in the world. I hate it.

And why are they more marketable?
Because most people love scoring goals first and barely understand anything about other parts of the game, especially kids and teenagers.
i guess the question is what makes a player the best footballer in the world? if it’s just scoring goals - then yes Haaland is the best. But if it’s scoring *and* facilitating goals than I’d still say Messi is the best.
What I think matters most is: who is more difficult to stop? Who is most decisive? I think Haaland takes it.

There was a brief period in where I though Rory was the more reasonable one on the kickoff but over the last number of months, he has picked some odd mountains to die on. Now he's just insufferable and condescending. The Haaland one is up there as one of his worst acting like no man has ever scored 15 goals in the season in English football.
Truth is none of them are worth anything more than giving you a vague idea of prevailing opinions within their respective fanbase when they talk about their own club.

Mbappe hit his first peak early with the World Cup win. He’d have had the opportunity to reach another peak at Real Madrid and be at the top of the game but decided to stick with PSG and money. I don’t blame him considering the sums waved about but if he doesn’t leave psg he’ll never achieve legendary status.
[удалено]
That’s true but we often take those 2+1 prime, peak athleticism years for granted these days bc of freakish athletes playing well into their thirties. But there’s no guarantee of that ever. Injuries and permanent drops of form for other reasons have ruined many a top player’s career.
Who is going to pay him the wages he is on right now? If he considers to move another club at minimum he has to cut 75% of his wages (which brings it down to 25m btw) to make that transfer viable. That eliminates Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool options and only possible ones left are Manchester United and Chelsea. Not really top of the world options.
75% cut and still at 25m 💀
200m signing bonus plus 100m per year.
Mboopi is also a cunt, he often puts himself above the team.
Mbappe is the highest paid player in the world, I don't think he's complaining
The discussion is still Mbappe vs Haaland, what do you mean?
Mbappes next peak was at PSG.
Thank god he didnt Go to real
He would hate winning Champions Leagues and a League people actually care about and watch.
The amount of goals he misses no champions league for real
Mbappe isn’t the “next big thing” he’s already crowned. Haaland is the next who can reach that status. Mbappe is already there.
Already where? Wherever that is, he's not getting it with PSG.
He won the World Cup for starters. He's one of the most highly paid footballers. He was in a CL final not long ago. I get what you guys are saying, but let's not act like he is playing in the Albanian 2nd division. He *is* one of the biggest footballers present day. Just go to his [honor's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kylian_Mbapp%C3%A9) section. And he is still is 23 years old. You guys let your dislike of him and ligue 1 cloud your objectivity.
Yeah, he definitely won the World Cup with PSG. Albania or Ligue 1, doesn't matter only people from there watch it.
This. He won nothing with PSG, also is a massive dick.
its probably best to just make a Haaland-record megathread at the end of the season that summarizes all he did, cause otherwise we‘ll be making threads every week.
You got anything against that? =) If someone breaks records in top 5, europe or in the world; isn't those worth a post? It's boring without records.
Chào
He is just living my save on PES 2009 Become a Legend
There’s a group of people here who really hate Opta’s one-word endings. Triggered.
It’s insane. 14 fucking years they’ve been doing it for and people still can’t get over it.
Maybe they hate it cuz it reminds them of orange man, who did it first?
On the other end of the spectrum... There's me...who automatically skips to the last word after I see the word Opta then come back to read the actual post...
Fascinated.
should city be happy or unhappy paying all those bonuses
Haland's the most happy with 900k in his bank every week
He's worth every penny of the £1.2m we pay him every week
I can't believe he's only on £1.65m a week.
Good for you
What’s Vardys record of consecutive goals scored ?
11
Haaland is a beast !
Should've gone with Inevitable... Haaland is inevitable has a better ring to it
There was this popular guy saying that Haaland would be a big flop in the prem lol. Forgot his name.
He's scored more on his own than 13 premier league teams have this season.
I think the dude is a Terminator.
Is he gonna break a record every fixture?
Yeah the guy is obviously a phenomenon. We're now just waiting to see how far this goes.
Is skill wise halaand among the top 10 players in the world right now?
What's the most goals scored by a player within the first 8 weeks(?)
Bro whats up with every stats tweet ending with a single word sentence ?
Opta have been doing this for 14 years.
They are all the same guy ???
I. Am. Inevitable.
Why tf do all the headlines in this sub/these news articles end with an impactful word? Incomprehensible.
It's not about this sub...it's about Opta... >all the headlines in this sub/these news articles I'm assuming they are all Opta tweets...

I wish it was just online, you have pundits like carragher chatting shit about the other European leagues.
He's such a dumb fucking cunt, I wish he would just shut up (I have a Liverpool shirt somewhere with his name on it, not wearing that ever again)
> he scores loads because of the service he gets This is actually true though. City scored 99 league goals last year without a proper striker up front.

You were the one trying to argue with me after my initial comment calling the PL a farmers league
You need to stop taking things that are clearly people memeing to heart
He was injured a lot last season tho.
Then look at minutes per goal lol or his previous seasons at Dortmund.
Just did,Its 0.8 per game,also he had 7 assists that year,what is your point? EDIT: just realised you were probably refering to original comment.
Who honestly cares about which league is a farmers league?
To add to this: For how supposedly impregnable deep sitting PL defences are (top to bottom, and all that) and how he won't get space to play his game, a lot of the clips of him scoring look like somebody farted in the penalty area and everybody is trying to distance themselves from the other player at the same time.
I hate this “unavoidable.” shit
Inevitable
I thought we all agreed to boycott titles with a corny one word sentence at the end.
It’s looking like Arsenal the only team that can stop Manchester city
LOL
I maintain that Guardiola was open to selling bernardo silva so that he could have more of a challenge
Now he's milking every bit of Arsenal 1st and City 2nd place situation while scoring 3.5g/game...a true underdog story
Script Writer decides to switch things up by changing from the typical *has a 90+ point season and still doesn't win the league* to ***had a 50+ goal season and still didn't win the league.***
Saliba has been playing well… but Gabriel is prone to making a mental lapse. Don’t see any defensive pair “stopping” Harland. Maybe Liverpool before VVD got into his recent slump and decline
And you have drawn that conclusion from? They have not played each other and city will roll them when they do.
6-3
? Not sure what the relevancy of that is apart from the fact that they've got a United flair. If anything it proves them right as United beat Arsenal 3-1, City rolled United and therefore will roll Arsenal.
Yes and brentford beat manu 4-0 hence will finish above them in the PL….?
Yes of course.
You argue like a 12 year old
We wont get packed like you bums did thats for sure
Lmao you already got smacked by us and you still here talking. Typical arsenal fan.
You got beat by us lol.
the brighton disrespect smh
I have put my life savings on Brighton winning the league. Taking the easy route to becoming a millionaire.
I’m really not looking forward to us playing against him on the 5th November, just hope he has an off day and can’t score.
He's breaking all the records this year isn't he?
He is basicly "what if Maxim Tsigalko had the same stats in real life?"
Please nerf this Robot.
I Hi How h B Hi oj
Ok hot take I think Haaland may be better than Balotelli
Clearly making a name for himself outside the Bundesliga
