Erling Braut Haaland

I dont think he will, he could get injured but also is Pep going to play him in every game and leave him out there once they go deep in the CL

Not if have the league wrapped up by March.

that's a good point...would prevent him getting close to the 60.

Dixie's record will be safe for all of our lifetimes, I'm sure. Injuries and rotation will play a part but I just don't think anyone in the modern game has the capacity to score 60 goals in a league season. It might be interesting to see if he can get to 60 across all competitions. I think that will be a push, but is more realistic.

 

[Stevie Nicks Bootleg]

There's no way he'll get to 60 league goals- unless teams decided to play something like a 2-3-5 system again. That record is definitely safe. If he gets over 40 in the modern game, that's an amazing feat.

 

[Nymzee]

40 is more realistic. Didn't get 60 in two poorer leagues.

I see Iwobi might have some competition for the Ballon D'or this year...

 

[BNJ1878]

But that also applies to the defenders Haaland is up against.

Although Haaland didn't fracture his skull last year, which Dixie did the year before netting 60

Not been to Anfield yet.

The talk of Dixie's record btw, (1) I don't think he'll break it, strikers go through peaks and troughs in front of goal and (2) you could probably consider it broken if he got over 54, given Dean got 60 over the course of a 42 game season. 60 x (38/42) = 54.3. Still though, don't think he'll get that either.

Anything close to 40 would be incredible.

Surely he can’t get another hat trick tonight can he??

 

[longers]

40+

no way he gets 60 in 38 games

I can see this being a night they rest him

 

[Nymzee]

Of course

Dean played 39 games that season didnt he?
