Håland is an absolute freak of nature.

6 feet 5 inches of Norse Viking berserker stock.

Just now, Gundalf said:

Not impressive considering the type of goals. 1 pen and 3 tap-ins

that is patently dismissive of his being there to score those goals, and his efforts to set them up

if it was so easy why is he shredding record after record by the shedload

[Vesper 28,296]

FIVE for the monster

[Gundalf 804]

Another rebound goal 😂 Guy is a bballer

[Vesper 28,296]

I really have to laugh at people trying to shit on Håland's insane goal scoring prowess

Behave, I have praised Haaland when u didnt even know his name yet 🤣

[Magic Lamps 11,622]

We can stop the gvardiol hype now. Nowhere to be found on all those Haaland goals, nowhere near.

I doubt that

you were not even here when the following were posted (feel free to show your claim via other boards or sources postings):

first mention of Håland (spelt that way, and the same thing when spelling it Haland) here on TC and this is a scouting comment by me

 

and as spelling it as Haaland (and this was a passing comment about him working Zouma)

then nothing under that spelling until months later

What? 5 goals in one game for one player is impressive regardless. I mean when has it never been?

bayern

real

city

napoli

Chelsea

benfica

inter

milan

 

that is the tough team to weak team, imo

[Pizy 18,322]

Haaland’s greatest ability is just having an insane instinct to always be in the right place at the right time. It’s uncanny. And with all the hysteria about whether he’d fit in that City team, it’s really the perfect place for him. He doesn’t really have to touch the ball that often, doesn’t have to be involved in their general play. But they create like 30 good chances per match and with his instinct to always pop up where the ball is likely to land he scores buckets of goals.

Honestly can’t imagine what it feels like to have a goal scoring machine in your team that scores so freely. To watch your team every match and expect like 3 goals each game rather than hoping like hell that we just score 1.

Hope the club can strike gold with whichever striker we bring in this summer. We can’t go another season where our leading scorer is going to have like 10 goals.

3 teams to avoid and 4 teams that we would be clear favourites. Chances are on our side to get preferable draw.

tbh, I think we can beat Real.

They aren't so good as people think

Bayern and City are the really two to avoid

about napoli I have mixed feelings. They are amazing but lets see how they play agains a top top team

benfica inter and milan we are clear favourite

I feel that we may play against benfica

Playing either of Inter or Benfica would be interesting.

Benfica because of the Enzo connection, and Inter because of Lukaku.

Both of them will be playing with some venom against us.

[OneMoSalah 8,751]

Benfica would be most favourable draw on paper really, although there is some bad blood after the Enzo pursuit and signing so that could be extra incentive for them.

Inter or AC Milan next after them but would honestly want to avoid all of the other teams.

Suppose in all likelihood though we will get one of Bayern, Real, City or Napoli, not Benfica or either Milan club - wouldn’t be surprised.

[NikkiCFC 7,891]

I'm not afraid of Napoli at all. They don't have experience on this level even tho when you look their results this season they are amazing.

We wouldn't be able to match Real Madrid over 2 legs, they have too much firepower for us (the way they ripped apart Liverpool for 5 goals could happen against us as well as they have finishers all over the pitch).  Same with Bayern & City. 

Ideal draw would probably be Milan clubs (as they haven't had that many high scoring games in the UCL), followed by Benfica/Napoli. 

[Special Juan 27,385]

I love how the pundits keep salivating over City and keep saying 'it's their year'

It will end in tears, and not tears of joy.
