Erling Braut Haaland

[BlueStevie35]

It's amazing like, he's a great goalscorer, but for reference he'd need to score 5 goals a game until the end of the season to beat Dean

Needs 12 from the final 4 league games and potentially 4 cup games to beat Dixie’s overall total of 63 but yeah barring clubs being extra generous (looking at you Everton) beating Dixie’s 60 in the league looks unlikely

Sometimes better attacks means more goals spread around though

He's a goalscorer though. It isn't going to be like Messi dropping deeper because Suarez shows up. The increase in quality would be in the creativity (low key the right side for City this year has been crap by their standards) and his scoring would benefit.

I dont understand the comparison to Dixies record. 2 different eras, and 2 different games. Rules and styles have changed. Both amazing accomplishments (whatever Haaland ends on) and both players should be applauded for their individual accomplishments. No comparison need take place

It's a record mate, something sports heavily revolve around, of course there will be comparisons?

If Sam Allardyce can't stop him neither can we, we should plan for the Wolves game.

I thought you rated Michael Keane as our best defender, he should have Haaland in his back pocket no?

I'd love to see a 1v1 on the pitch between them, Sam will just sit on him.

Agree with this

Well, similar things have happened in the past, we live in hope!

When regarding Michael Keane

 

[4737carlin]

When

One good example was when he single handed stopped Liverpool winning the league at Goodison, Salah did all he could but Keane was having none of it, City ow us, lets hope Pep hasnt forgotten

I don't think Salah is even playing the same sport as Haaland.

I agree, Keane gets a free pass against City, all focus is onto Wolves

I always want every Everton player to do their very best when they put the blue shirt on, Keane included, but I worry for him against Haaland, his confidence can't be high, I'd give him a game off.

But it will.
Despite sky/premier-league's self Imposed Pol Pot year zero cancelling of any football history before 1992, they'll try to find - and claim - every goalscoring record the can for their poster boy
