Happy to leave it there mate as the stats back me up! Of course he’ll score in big games too. He’s a very good player. But he’s not going to go down as one of the best footballers of all time, because he just isn’t, and he’s not even better than Harry Kane, who also probably won’t go down as one.
I was talking about in comparison to Kane…obviously. They’ve only played in the same league for the one season. Suppose we can also use this season as a barometer also when it’s done, meanwhile Kane scoring there at better than a goal a game already despite Bayern being off it.
Haaland scored 72% of his goals last year against the bottom half. So, yes, a flat track bully.
Based on his…one season? The season in which Kane set the record for number of different games scored in, in a shite Tottenham side, after smashing it for years anyway. Gimme a break.
He’s a flat track bully that loves to put them away from 6 yards.
Haaland couldn’t lace Ronaldo Fenomeno’s boots, which is sort of what I’m getting at. He had so much about him apart from being a finisher, and it’s those skills that set apart Haaland from the best.

I dunno…people who watch football? Look at any list of the top players of all time and find the highest one that wasn’t technically fantastic. People don’t revere only great goalscoring, but great footballers. Pele, R9, Cruyff, Maradona…
Many players have scored a lot of goals. Haaland isn’t even as good as Harry Kane at his own job, and Kane does far more besides. He’s got a long way to go to be in any conversation as one of the greats.

The only thing Mbappe can do that Kane can’t is be very quick. Meanwhile, Kane can do all sorts of things Mbappe can’t. He’s the best player in the world, and it’s just a shame he’s only now getting the respect.
