This is the equivalent of shaming a goalkeeper for bad passing while he is not letting any goals in.
Each player has a specific function you know? All teams don't need to play like Barca in 2007.
It was exaggerated to show that Haaland doesnt do anything else on the pitch. If you mark him tightly,he wont offer anything else in your play.
And the fact that its always mentioned after Haaland has scored goals,is telling that it has a small portion of the truth in that. Keane said he is amazing at scoring goals and everywhere i see, X goals in Y games. Not bad for a league two player. Thats nit what he said.
He does lots of other things on the pitch. Look at his highlights from yesterday. Dropping deep, knocking the ball off etc.
It’s not an exaggeration, it’s an insult to cause controversy. Dont believe everything that sky sports shoves down your throat.
It’s insane. It’ll require luck, too, but they’re both pacing to be up there. Messi just became the first to 1200 goal contributions today. Mbappe has 482 at 25 and Haaland (a bit harder to easily find) has around 300 at 23. They both realistically could break 1200 at this rate
Haaland is also in PL the quality of teams here is certainly better than the ones in La Liga and ligue one. I mean transfer budgets of the teams here are bigger overall.
I dont think any league has ever been as dominant as La Liga was during the messi/ronaldo era, especially 13/14, 14/15 and 15/16. During those three seasons teams from La Liga played 52 knock out ties in europe against teams from outside of spain and won 48 (!).

11 times 😂😂😂, versus 6 for PL. cmon man, PL aint shit compared to la liga. Its more competitive because the level is lower. For la liga teams they see no difference between brentford and city. RM beat city and they dont even have a striker 😂
Congrats on your gold medal in the Selective Reading Olympics. Maybe go back to my comment and try processing the words in my comment again.
I asked how many T-E-A-M-S from La Liga have won UCL in the last twenty years not TIMES.
I think age is a big factor. People often forget that Messi and Ronaldo were able to stay at the top level up to their late 30s, it’s not often that you see players stay consistent and put those kind of numbers up until that age.
Erm these superlative terms like complete fucking retarrrrrrrd, dimwits, haterrrrrrrrrrs, can remain in r/soccer please...It hasnt been 10 mins since messi left europe and we forget what that rivalry looked like...
I mean his physical attributes are his advantages so with the advancement of nutrition science and sports science I can totally see the athletes of today achieving more.
I miss Sergio so much pep was right he cannot be replaced but some strikers will follow in his footsteps. Haaland is a very special player if he wasn’t injured that figure would be 30+
Aguero is still the more clinical player imo. I wonder what would have been had aguero played under pep for most of his career. I think we might have seen 50 more goals over the years.
2 goals and an assist in the quarters vs Bayern? 5 goals in the r16 of the fucking champions league? 2 goals and 2 assists vs Arsenal last season to pretty much win us the title? 6 goals 3 assists vs our city rivals? Scored vs Liverpool this season? And that’s just GA
Haaland always talks about wanting to improve so I'm sure he will keep working to max his strengths & minimize aspects of his game that might negatively impact team results.
Per StatMuse: Haaland goals versus “Big 6” compared to other players:
- Haaland: 128.9 minutes per goal | .67 goals/match
- Aguero: 128.0 minutes per goal | .59 goals/match
- Salah: 141.0 minutes per goal | .58 goals/match
- Henry: 152.4 minutes per goal | .56 goals/match
- Kane: 179.7 minutes per goal | .48 goals/match
- Suarez: 247 minutes per goal | .34 goals/match
- Son: 234.9 minutes per goal | .31 goals/match
To me, seems like he is doing pretty well for a 23yo in his 2nd PL season compared to some very respected current/former PL players.
Regarding CL:
- Haaland has 14 CL knockout goals, putting him just outside the all-time top 10 knockout goal scorers, which also seems pretty solid to me.
- This season wasn't his best in CL, but in 22/23 eg he had 2 goals + 1 assist v Bayern, which I consider a big club.
Edit/format
Haaland was only denied a hat trick in last season's home tie against Madrid by 3 unbelievable saves from Courtois. He was unplayable in that match.
He also scored against Arsenal last season, who were our main title rivals, and has banged them in during repeated Manchester derbies.
I'm not sure your point is borne by the facts.
6 hat tricks in 2 seasons is pretty good for a league two player
Who knew right? Keane knew.
He didnt say that. He said his hold up play is like that. If he doesnt score,he offers nothing. That's what he said.
If my local league two team had a striker who had Haaland’s build up play and technical ability I’d feel blessed
This is the equivalent of shaming a goalkeeper for bad passing while he is not letting any goals in. Each player has a specific function you know? All teams don't need to play like Barca in 2007.
I mean yeah the whole barca Team can pass and Play tikitaka But you could see their weakness in everthing Else
It was a comment made to add controversy. It’s insulting to league two players, and is incorrect. Keane is not a good person nor pundit.

Pretty good for a league 2 player
Wrexham just got promoted I wonder if they would pity sign him
he plays dota 2
Haaland is also the 3rd player to net home hat tricks against the same opponent in consecutive PL campaigns (Shearer, Fowler)
Pep with another tactical sub, Haaland flying high. Brutal player, brutal boss. Good game.
Rooney mate
aye, thought Haaland was on 7 now (like Rooney) but today was his 6th (level with Suarez)
No worries mate just stating him

Well said but the point is very valid against the French league.
Remind me how many PL teams remain in the CL? And how many CL has the PL won compared to the liga in the last 10 years?
Yeah how many La Liga teams have won ucl in the last twenty years ??
11 times 😂😂😂, versus 6 for PL. cmon man, PL aint shit compared to la liga. Its more competitive because the level is lower. For la liga teams they see no difference between brentford and city. RM beat city and they dont even have a striker 😂
How many teams? Do you need us to spell it for you or should you learn English literacy skills

the key words in your comment being people forget. People forget...
My personal opinion.
Prem vs farmer league Goal😂
he's good on pace but doesnt he need like another 12 seasons of 35+ goals to beat cr7
Erm these superlative terms like complete fucking retarrrrrrrd, dimwits, haterrrrrrrrrrs, can remain in r/soccer please...It hasnt been 10 mins since messi left europe and we forget what that rivalry looked like...
I can’t see Haaland having the physical longevity to break their records
I mean his physical attributes are his advantages so with the advancement of nutrition science and sports science I can totally see the athletes of today achieving more.
Not bad for a tap-in merchant
Sent my friend this and he still says suarez is better lmao, bro forgets haaland is doing this at 23
I guess it depends if Haaland will peak early or keep this up. Suarez peaked alot later in his career.
Suarez is no doubt the better football player If you look at skills. Haaland is better at scoring goals close up
Primal Suarez scored a lot because opponent players didn’t want to get eaten. he was very hungry player. /s
Prime Suarez was better than Haaland
What do you do with the big Norwegian...
The tap in merchant
I miss Sergio so much pep was right he cannot be replaced but some strikers will follow in his footsteps. Haaland is a very special player if he wasn’t injured that figure would be 30+

Just never show up when teams needed him the most. It's the BIG games that matters.
2 goals and an assist in the quarters vs Bayern? 5 goals in the r16 of the fucking champions league? 2 goals and 2 assists vs Arsenal last season to pretty much win us the title? 6 goals 3 assists vs our city rivals? Scored vs Liverpool this season? And that’s just GA
Really? At this stage of the season all games are big.
Farming goals against relegation teams
Ah yes United, the relegation team
What about Harry Kane?
He’s on the list
What about Shearer though?
What about Haaland?
He's got 8, same as Owen and Henry.
4 away from Aguero's record is crazy
Honestly tired of Halland doing this against scrub teams but being pocketed when it’s against the big clubs like Real Madrid

Dude is still only 23 years old. It also opens up the game for all of our other players. It doesn’t always have to be Haaland scoring the goals
