By the way, Haaland didn’t have a single shot against Arsenal in the Community Shield final

Hes been praised for being among the GOATS now he must face the pressure and criticism that comes with such title. Messi and ronaldo should know

Goes to show how lethal Messi and Ronaldo were in their primes

Every world-class player experienced this same pressure, Messi, Ronaldo, CR7, Et'o, Bale, all players that stepped up in big games and Haaland just hasn't shown anything yet under these circumstances. Obviously, there's still time, but he has one of the most stacked squad behind him and an insane KDB feeding him so many chances, there's no excuse

Me personally, Haaland just had to much pressure on him

There were a couple good saves from the goalkeepers, but overall, the average shot quality is not too good, other than against Bayern.

As a City fans it's not his fault though, his gameplay is completely different than he used to play for us when we first sign him. Now he drop more and help defense way more than before so I don't blame him. Everyone have their own struggle sometimes and I believe he'll be back next season

Idk, few years ago they called players like Haaland tap in merchants, now they're called world class strikers. Tell me how Haaland is better than Ronaldo, Van Persie, Lewandowski, Drogba, Suarez, Benzema, etc.. As I watched his games, his skills are so one sided and it works well vs lower skilled defenders, but is easily neutralized by most of the good defenders, I have never seen anything special from Haaland in a big game.

Don't know about you but all I see is world-class saves

Hes having a rough patch. Thats all there is to it. People keep saying he ghosts in big games. Maybe in the role city have for him,but if you have watched that guy in Dortmund you know how much he was doing even with that not so great dortmund team. Scored against bayern in pretty much every encounter,mind you that was the bayern that won the ucl that season,scored twice against psg who were the finalists that season as well,scores against the big 6 on aregular basis ,just cos hes hit a rough patch people are questioning his credibility as whole. Just goes to show you how short termed people's memories are.

For me the more offputting side of his game is that he's a giant and has a great physique but he never wins aerial duels when marked, nor can receive long balls or direct passes to him, whenever he's marked by a good or above average defender he just disappears. he does have technique, shooting technique, but against big teams that's not enough, you can't always hope for Silva or De Bruyne to deliver the whole play for you.

I dont think he was entirely to blame. The city players hardly took a shot at goal. It was just constantly passing until you see an opening but lost possession before an accurate shot on target. Halaand is only 23 good chance he'll get better at his role.

Haaland v Small Team🦁 Haaland v Big Team🤡

Mark my words, the best of Haaland is yet to come.

he doesnt get passed to enough in big games

He is better for the smaller games, but for the bigger games I think Alvarez is a better choice.

Haaland is a amazing striker with some good first touch and link up plays

He is doing what he is best at and trying don’t put pressure on him😢

His positioning is somewhat restricted compare to when he was at dortmund. Either tactical reasons or opponents defenders really step up their game.

Now he's gotta prove if he is one of the greatest of all time or just another good scorer

They act like real madrids defense are rookie kickers. Theyre the best of the best of the best. Try even getting a shot on target against them

Practically ghosts in all of the games he doesn't score in He can definitely have a bigger impact in those games he just can't put it in the net

Skills issues 💀

the problem is, that was basically all of his touches against Real this year

It isn't haaland's fault that man city is a small club and guardiola doesn’t know how to use his own players

Personally, I feel Harland should leave City. He should go to a different team

Slipping last season’s Charity Shield in at the end 😂😂😂

best man city player

Bro should trade some of his strength with some agility

He hasn't been the same since missing a penalty against Bayern Munich last year.

He should perform more in those big matches, at least to do justice to the hype he got all this while.

to be honest he is a ghost in big games

Now we all should know how great is Messi and CR7 being consistently for so many uears

If he stays at the same level (or become better), I'm sure he'll score some big game goals eventually

26 Shots 15 Shots on target 2 Goals

why ppl in here act like he fell off and scored 0 goals this seasn? lmfao football fans are a diffrent breed its crazy

In normal matches his finishing 99 In big match finishing 69😅

People are comparinh him to mbappe but dont realise that how different the two players one is a viking and the other is the next henry(my opinion).And they play on very different circumstances as well , u see Luis Enrique Mourinho , Zidane ,Ancelooti allow players to move between lines meanehile coacges like Guardiola , Arteta dont allow players to go between lines , the only two players i have seen that go inbetween the lines(in peps team ) are KDB and LM10 . So even if haalqnd wanted to devlop as a complete player (messi , ronaldo, hazard) level dribbling. He couldnt , for me Mbappe and Rodrygo are the future generation for madrid . They step up when it matters the most .and all these youngsters (mbappe,rodrygo,vini,lamine) have long careers ahead of them.There is absolutely no point in judging them by one loss. Be it yamal ,mbappe ,haaland ,vini or any young prospect in general .

simple answer: ABSOLUTELY YES

I think Haaland needs to add a bit of dribbling and work on his heading, in a difficult match a striker needs to have a complete set of arsenal to deliver

it wasnt his fault but he was playing against the worlds best teams not like wrexham lmao its gonna be a lot harder

Courtois is just out of this world

Just half of those shoots were good shoots. Sometimes he had bad luck, sometimes the goalkeeper was Courtois💀. I agree that he could do much things better, anyway it is not completely his fault. It's a 50 50

He's gone missing in these big games, that's for sure.

Now he can peacefully do his meditation celebration 😂

that's what separates anyone from being legendary you can score 5000 goals against Fruity Palace United but it's when it matters that it truly counts

i idol him

Bad thing about haaland is that he rely too much on his left foot.

His runs here are absolutely insane, but the finishing doesn’t exist

Everyone in that pep side has a role and no one realizes that for some reason. He has no freedom cuz of pep so what exactly do you guys want him to do? Pep wants him as a poacher and decoy, he was much more in BVB

in the match against real madrid, it wasnt really haalands fault. they played it super compact and defensively. KDB and foden also had easy goal chances this match but couldnt score(ik kdb scored). Haaland also got tons of chances but he couldnt score as well so the loss is on the team not him

Look not all robots have long battery every season. Haaland this season hasn’t been properly charged or ran out of battery.

I mean, he's a real danger, for Lutons and Nottinghams

Sooner or later the other teams, especially defenders, were going to study the way to stop him. And, because he doesn’t have the creativity and the flair of the greatest players, once they analysed the way he plays, they quickly found a way to prevent him from being effective. Still a great striker, but yet to become a legend

This is a normal day in the office for jackson

the way he play looked more and more like how lukaku play for chelsea

This is one of the reasons why i hated media / pundits, they're the one who started hype him up, haaland never claimed that he's close to cr7 messi level, thanks to the these media saying he's the goat and now they start hating and put pressure on him. If you guy think he isn't a good, just ignored him, idk why you guys wasting your time for thinking about him 🤦🏻

The thing is that he needs to rely too much on players like De bryune or Silva. He has great shooting abilities but lacks a lot in almost everything else. If he ever leaves City then he'll have a hard time scoring (assuming the club he plays doesn't have too many insane players).

He needs Drobga and Zlatan to coach him for months, hel be a beast after that.

Kane at man city would’ve been OP

He's like a young Lukaku just in a ridiculously good team so he looks like he is extra good but in reality overrated badly

Every hero has its flaws

The cyborg wil return 🤖🦾🦿

I aldy told haaland to stay calm..dont think too much on ballon d or

The worst part about Real rematch is that as bad as these shots were, they were at least some sort of a threat. When Alvarez came even that disappeared, and he was as dangerous as a new born kitten and yet no one criticise him. Even Foden was useless, but he was great in the first match (unlike Haaland admittedly). Generally bad big game performance for Norwegian, but it was a really bad move from Pep to substitute him. Should've put Alvarez instead of someone else to make more offensive lineup, and at least have 2 people capable of scoring penalties

Yes, it's his fault. Other 9 like Kane scored that Haalad missed.

He does not have to score in big games he just does not show up at all. A great striker is great without the ball even when he is not scoring. Best example, Kane,even when he does not score, he makes other around him have a great game. If you ever seen Kane at Tottenham, you know what I'm talking about. Even now at Bayern you can see it too. He was better at Dortmund, now he just sits and waits for a pass or a cross.

Taapland ghosted in the UCL Final & Semifinal, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup Final and the Community Cup Final. All he did is stand around in the box and wait for someone to pass the ball. He’s incapable of creating his own goals like true great strikers such as R9.

Crumbling under pressure 😂😂😂😂

Definitely always Pep's fault, but Haaland can train a number of skills better - finishing, heading, dribbling, vision. All Pep's fault though, seriously

He is heavily depends on others.

this guy is not a human....

Haaland is strong and can run. That's pretty much it.

answer: Yes, it was

A lot of these were great saves lol

It shows why he is blamed because he doesnt take time for his shots or use his weak foot when he could have used his lleft

Provide cristiano those chances. 🔥

Halland would be better fit for real madrid with vinicious and rodrigo on the wings

short answer: yes

He just a goal scorer only.. Not a game changer.. Mbappe is far better😴

2:19 how did he miss that

his finishing always straight to GK, mid striker tbf

Haaland is a fantastic player, man city is out because they sold gundogan and mahrez

At this point haaland is just harry kane but with more trophies

Pretty sure Bellingham know how to counter haaland

Sometimes.

People blames haaland for 'he is only a poacher, cannot be a target man' .But from this video, I think his quality of shooting is much much lower than last year, I don't think haaland need to become a gd target man, if he has the quality of shooting as last season , he would always be the top 3 players in the world

in terms of pure strikers there r no one better than haaland rn. but that doesnt make him one of the best players in the world either.

Can't compare him to Mbapee

De bruyne and Foden became selfish at assisting+Silva miss

1:43 😮

He's an one season wonder type of player. Next Lukaku to be ..😅😅

Because of haaland, people talk BS like, "soccer is not about scoring goals".😂

lets play a game, how many shots were haalands fault or just good goalkeeping?

do lucas vazquez

In all fairness De Bruyne should have buried his chances

He rarely got decent ball. And he's never been the first option to score all year long. How is he supposed to score on big games when he wasn't really properly setup and doesn't get to practice in real games? All in all it's his fault to join city instead of a team that would actually set him up.

Brio is the star player of mn city bcz of the permances he was showing in pl and ucl last yer scoring around 60 goals that season and destroying teams in ucl he even won treble with man city which led I'm to get praised by the goats but, this year the fans have a lot of pressure on halland that's why he is not able to perform so well.

That’s what tends to happen when people confuse a goal scorer with a great player. Bro haaland is undoubtedly a very least skilled player. The guy only relies on his power and storming into defenders. No dribbles, no megs, no body faints, no nothing🤦🏻‍♂️

I think they thought they bought cr7 prime . There is only one ☝️ Messi and cr7 thank god I was able to watch all those games . They ain’t any one near that level of Messi and cr7 Let’s wait ……………
