[Football] “Is that it?”

[Milano]

As we were leaving the Amex my 14 yo son turned to me and said “Haaland, I thought he was a bit rubbish, he’s just big, Undav’s got a better first touch, is that it?” I laughed but on a couple of occasions tonight I’d thought similar myself. I was delighted when his goal was disallowed as I’d thought that he’d done pretty much nothing until that point apart from constantly foul JPvH.

 

[Oh_aye]

He reminded me of Andy Carrol tonight.

I liked the look of their little lad with the afro. Not sure of his name.

I think he was Rico Lewis

Haaland missed a couple of sitters tonight.

I think he was Rico Lewis

Yep.

Could still see what a beast he was when Steele saved at his feet. Pace and power just goes past people. One of the best strikers ever to play the game - thankfully a very rare off day today where he had to result to fouling to ‘score’

he had to result to fouling to ‘score’

and as a result failing to score

Considering he wasn’t on it tonight his assist to Foden just shows how dangerous he is as a player. He will be a future Ballon D’Or Winner. From my perspective on the West Stand everyone seemed more confused that he wasn’t offside than upset by the goal, but he broke the trap perfectly.

Otherwise though, mostly absent all game. VAR disallowing his goal was funny though.

 

[Brian Fantana]

Don’t many of the best goal scorers of all time share the knack of essentially doing nothing all game and then popping up with a goal when it really matters?

Granted he didn’t do that tonight, but I still think he’s the most complete centre forward I’ve seen in my life. And as for comparing him to Undav, even jokingly? Nah.

Was so speedy it’s ridiculous. Would be stood next to our defence and within 2 strides he’d have have dropped them.

 

[Winker]

Undav had a very poor first touch when he went through on goal.

You don't score as many goals as he has this season by chance

Minus the wifebeating.

Lewis.

Is that it? Then you both need a lesson in football. He may not of scored but the quality and the threat was there throughout. The point he cheated the ball down and volleyed just wide before anyone else in the stadium had realised what had happened was absolutely incredible.

All credit to Seeana Paul who had a great game bar the goal. But if you couldn’t see the quality in Haaland then that’s on you.

 

[um bongo molongo]

It’s a bit Usain Bolt-ish in that he just seems so much bigger and seems to move away from people effortlessly. The one where Steele saved at his feet he started in line with JPvH and then just glided away from him.
