I wasn't calling out your post mate, think it's was @LAM09who said he was invisible, maybe wrong tho.

Correct, that's wrong. I said there would be TIMES where he'd be invisible against the top sides due to his lack of overall involvement.

@Blue Armour  definitely wasn't calling out your post.  Was more at the other user - LAM who mentioned that Haaland had gone invisible during his time at Dortmund.   Like which striker in world football hasn't had poor games or games where they look completely invisible on the pitch? 

I agree that defenders will eventually find out ways to counter Haaland but he's still a freak of nature and he'll continue to score buckets of goals, especially when he has the best passer in the league playing right behind him!

It's easier to actually call out people with tags that are present rather than make digs or comments on the fly.

He will be and currently is. There's the difference, to point it out.

Haaland isn't a player that you notice alot until you do and by that time he's picking the ball out of the net, he doesn't need to get involved much in play, the man city team can and have done that plenty without him, he's there for 1 reason, score. I have absolutely no doubts what so ever at 22 years old he will tear this league apart for years to come and barely break into a sweat doing it.

I only tagged Blue Armour in the post as they quoted me and mentioned that I was possibly having a dig at them over their comments on Haaland, which was definitely not the case. 

As for your comments on Haaland, why does it matter if his overall play is far behind the likes of Mbappe?   Mbappe's overall stats in Ligue 1 would be inflated anyway as he is playing in a weaker league with two of the best South American attackers right next to him.  It would have been really interesting to see whether he had similar struggles to a young Benzema when he made the move from young star at Lyon to Real Madrid.

At least Haaland took the chance and joined the Premier League to challenge himself, when by all reports, he could have played out the season at Dortmund and joined Bayern Munich on a low transfer fee in the summer.

That explains the we lol

when England plays Sweden I am for England, but not gutted if Sweden wins or draws

not happy Sweden choked and blew the WC qualification

I do not get nearly as invested in international football as I do Chels (I go mental over chels all the time, lolol)

I just want to see good matches in terms of international footie
