The narrative that Haaland disappears against top teams is not only incorrect (see below) but it’s very lazy and doesn’t look at how City’s other players factor into him apparently disappearing. Because it never ceases to amaze me how City players like Silva, Foden, Grealish, Doku, and Walker almost appear to go out of their way to avoid playing first time balls into space for Haaland and provide first time service to him. Pep has instilled such a possession obsession mindset into his players that it’s actually inhibiting them from maximizing Haaland. Watching Liverpool today reminded me of what I’ve thought for a long time. For as many titles, goals, and success as Haaland has had at City, I’ve always thought he would have been a much more natural fit playing for more expansive and direct sides like Liverpool and Chelsea. Bayern: 9 matches, 7 goals, 2 assists Leipzig: 8 matches, 12 goals Leverkusen: 4 matches, 4 goals, 1 assist United: 7 matches, 6 goals, 3 assists Arsenal: 7 matches, 3 goals, 2 assists Liverpool: 8 matches, 3 goals Chelsea: 5 matches, 3 goals, 1 assist Tottenham: 5 matches, 3 goals, 1 assist PSG: 2 matches, 2 goals

He is still in van dijks pocket

Simon Jordan all you ever talk is shite. You are the biggest wind up on the panel but when your given some back you spit your dummy out!!

Past his peak after his lst season 😊

Football is a team sport, to single out, one player is being naive.Where was the other ten players. Why Haaland ?

I think everton should keep Dyche as he's the only manager in the premier to keep that 15th spot 😮

Humble fc shall be cursed until 3 lunar cycles pass, so mote it be

Get rid of this 4th choice st mirren beater ASAP...... ENTERTAINMENT DIDN'T WIN GAMES

Haaland has played 4 times at Anfield zero goals 🤣🤣🤣

He helped loads, he’s reminding all the city players to STAY HUMBLE.

Anyone know where the location is where they are ?

Fans of other clubs laugh, but this is why Chelsea fans absolutely loved Drogba. Better than the opposition? Drogba would score... Tight game? Drogba would score... Under the cosh? Drogba would save you. Keep you Haaland, keep your Kane... Give me prime Drogba any game, and twice in a final.

The squad is not deep enough

A striker is only as good as the service into him. And right now the service into Haaland isn't great. The 1st caller was correct in saying they don't play to his strengths.

Without De Bruyne feeding him quality Haaland doesnt do nowhere near enough

I ll give to Wayne Rooney when he was with Brum and they came to Elland Rd ..all Leeds fans and Brum fans were singing it...and he took it like an absolute star.

The squad is just lackluster tbh, nobody is getting any better out of that current squad. Everton won't go down but it's going to be an ugly 15th-13th place finish.

Slot is a revelation, maresca is doing fantastic and all this shows that how painfully average arteta is😂

‘Tactically inept.’ Spoken like a yakubian ape who has never watched Sean Dyche’s masterclass at Burnley

Dopey hammerhead😂

Never mind we’re was erland harland where was noel and Liam Gallagher ?

Haaland needs to come to BARÇA where his destiny lies.. It's written in the stars.. We'll be coming for him in 2026.. City better start looking for a replacement

So many fake callers xD pay me, ill be one

Haaland is a great goalscorer, and still hasn't reached his full potential, but I don't think you can call him World Class yet, because he doesn't do it against the best teams.

Trossard has also talked about how he doesn’t engage with football outside of work!

What a tool Simon is. He’s always had a hardon for Liverpool for whatever reason. Closet Man City fan boy

Vicious cycle with Haaland: Pep won't play to his strengths, no one will pass him the ball bc they're terrified of losing the ball, Haaland is sick of making runs for no reason and is getting fed up as a result of being ignored 50x a game. Oh yeah, and Pep's slow buildup play which allows the opposition plenty of time to reset their lines and flood the 18yrd box sucks out all the space for Haaland to operate which also makes it far more difficult for City to score regardless of Haaland playing or not. And on and on we go. Until Pep changes, expect more of the above

'Be humble' absolute arrogant brat.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Madueke should sort his teeth out before criticising the area of Wolverhampton.

Pep fan boy

Haaland is a one tick pony

Ortega the fake german who sees moss side everyday 😂

Also this squad that should be fighting for title again everyone said would suck can’t just swap for your narrative

Abby might be the only person with worse takes than Rory Jennings

Simon jordan has a child mentality .

I do think that's a ridiculous thing to say.. can't have a championship GK as England no.1, surely it doesn't matter where you're playing. If you're better than the other options, you start.

The present is manc have not won in 8 games simon .

its sad for city watching grealish and de bruyne come on and kind of jog around with no intensity and look past their best and walker recently getting out paced down the wing couple times now and the leaders in the team dont seem to have any influence something is off in that dressing room harmony.

Lmao simon talking about tribalism when he talks shite about anyone that isn't who he loves

Scouse humour, couldn't stop laughing. Jordon is so out of touch, lol.

making something out of nothing...now where have we heard and gone through this before....ahh of course convid😂

Jackson scored 14 non-penalty premier league goals in his 1st season. What are these guys on about by “he’s turned it around this season”. We’ve had “big name” strikers who couldn’t afford 10 goals a season even with penalties included .

Hes done it all hes bored

So lets get this right, he doesn't think Arsenal will win it, and he doesn't think Liverpool have played anyone decent. He says there are no easy games in the Prem, but says that UCL is different kettle of fish? He says the title race will go down to the wire, hmmmm? Tell you what, I think this fella is the most clueless caller I've ever heard on Talksport! Take a bow son!😂

Footballs rubbish nowadays no rivalry everyone plays the same no proper wingers anymore all cut in very boring
