The argument is so easily countered. Which strikes makes it harder for themselves to score at the cost of winning games? Nobody.. So why isn't every striker able to score even CLOSE to the same amount of goals as Haaland has on different teams if it's just about tap in the goals? Should be super easy. Or does he incidentally always having the best passers to ever exist on his various teams every single time? lol

Before Haaland came to England, he was regarded as a superstar. Because it was Manchester City and not one of the media favourites he signed for, the knives were out for him immediately. As a Man City fan myself, I wouldn't swap Erling Haaland for any player in the world. He's scored against every Premier League club he's played against, adding Ipswich Town to the list last weekend. There's no big headedness with him, he's a team player and appreciates the players around him. He's a top guy to have in your team. The media in the UK has a lot to be desired of. Haaland keeps on giving it them back on the pitch though, which obviously hurts them.

[@jackcollins7061]

As a Man Utd fan, I think people are mad, and i am jealous of this player over all of yours; perfect, no.9,people forget his age and seem like a super decent human being. When a team mate is fouled, he gallops over; absolute team player. Far better than Mbappe. Wife's a German from a family of Dortmund fans, so when he signed for you, I gave up on football for the next decade. 😂 Back to back hatricks already this season. Unbelievable generational talent.

Haaland is also not from what the English media rate as a top football nation. Nor does he has the "pretty skills" -- he gets an important job done the way he does it. Mo Salah has been underrated for years for the same reasons.

[@IrishGuysScarf]

If Haaland was playing in the 90s/00s, he would be viewed as one of the best of all time. It’s funny really, because you had all these pundits/commentators talking about how badly the game needs a proper “number 9” who can just score goals and that the game has been overflooded with false-9s who can’t put the ball in the net; then we have a player who is the perfect “number 9” and all these pundits/commentators don’t like him. Also, many of these pundits/commentators say that Foden playing poorly at the Euros was down to players like Kane interfering and dropping deep into Foden’s position which flooded the middle of the pitch. Yet they think that Kane playing for City and inevitably doing the same thing won’t hurt Foden’s play-style? So if anything, it’s good that Haaland doesn’t contribute much to the buildup and lets Foden, De Bruyne, etc perform that part of the game.

If tap ins were so easy to score, why doesn't gabriel jesus and almiron score 35 goals every season, why doesn't jolinton score 35 in the league per season, if it were so easy? I think people hate halland because he oneshot the premier league record and is superior to all the players they thought were great, made it look easy. People acting like man city did not have other strikers like aguero who never broke the premier league record despite playing when debruyne was in his peak same, balotelli was playing for liverpool and only score 2 goals an entire season, and i know for a fact a lot of persons rate balotelli above halland, see how stupid that is? Point is halland proved their premier league is not all that he debunk their league on his first season, so instead of growing and learning and accepting that good footballers can be a star in multiple leagues including premier league, then instead choose to tear down and disrespect halland footballing abilities, i want halland to break even more records in the prem and smash their expectation into the ground and rub their noses in it.

He doesnt stand there and wait for the ball. You need to be able to read the game and run into the right position, often throw yourself into a challenge, trick the 2-3 defenders he always has around him and always stay at the right side of the offside line.

[@EnriqueBartulac]

I don’t think Haaland is necessarily bad at doing the things he’s criticized for, he just shouldn’t do it. That was Man City’s problem the prior season to Haaland joining, with Jesus. City needed a striker who could attract defenders leaving space for his creative teammates and either letting them shoot from distance or delivering for him. This results in him not getting many touches of the ball but when he does he’s the best at putting it in the back of the net. Big games inherently happen to be when Haaland’s ability to lure defenses and not give him much space but give others room are crucial. People have to except that team play is more important than the individual.

[@tobaepebinuade5830]

Erling Haaland isn’t known for being the most atheistically pleasing player we’ve ever seen, his game isn’t as flashy as other players, but at the end of the day, he has been putting up insane numbers that are unheard of and he’s still 24 years old. He is one of the players in world football that gets criticism despite the fact that he makes his job look so easy as he is so consistent at putting the ball in the back of the net. Saying that he’s a tap in merchant and is only scoring goals simply because he plays on Manchester City it’s one of the dumbest arguments I’ve ever heard and some of the agendas we have towards him needs to stop. No matter what team he has played for whether it’s at club or international level, he has been scoring goals for fun. How many players are able to win back to back Golden Boots in their first 2 seasons in the Premier League and yet people consider it to be the most competitive league in the world and said that he would find it hard to score goals there than in the Bundesliga (63 goals in 66 games). 2022-23, he had 52 goals in all competitions and also broke the scoring record in the Premier League with 36 goals while winning the treble as in any other season that would’ve been enough for him to win the Ballon Dor since he helped them get over the line to win the champions league, last season despite missing games with injuries, he was the top scorer in the Premier League again with 27 goals, he had 38 goals in all competitions. I know people are going to say that “Manchester City has an elite team”, I get that when a number 9 of his caliber is playing alongside creative players like (Kevin de Bruyne Phil Foden Rodri Bernardo Silva Jack Grealish Jeremy Doku and now Savinho), he benefits from that, but on almost every team he has played for, he has more goals than games played. It took him 48 games to score 50 goals in the PL, he achieved a similar feat in the Bundesliga and he also has a staggering record in front of goal in the champions league as well meaning that he’s dominating the stat sheet domestically and in Europe. Even for the Norway national team, he has a great record for his country despite never qualifying for a major tournament with them. People think that a tap in is so easy to score but at the end of the day a goal is a goal, if it’s so easy to score tap ins and score goals on that City team, then any player will put up the similar sort of numbers that he has. When a prolific goalscorer is being surrounded around elite creators, he’s expected to score so many goals. His overall game isn’t the best since he’s not a great dribbler he lacks some of the basic fundamentals in football and other defenses have found it easy to nullify him when he plays against better teams, which is partly down to his role in the Manchester City team, you can’t argue against his numbers. He doesn’t get involved in the buildup play and he doesn’t create opportunities for himself meaning that on the pitch, he’s going to be a passenger when nobody passes him the ball. His presence alone benefits other creative players on their team and having him on the pitch creates a distraction since other defenses are solely focused on him. That’s an area of his game that he needs to improve there’s no doubt about that, as a striker he’s doing his job which is scoring goals and as long as he’s doing that and helping the team, it’s all that matters because at the rate in which he’s going, assuming he has that longevity and is able to stay healthy, he’s going to be one of the greatest scorers in football history. Will Haaland ever be the best footballer in the world, no, it’s possible that he wins a Ballon Dor, and as critical as we can be towards him, I think us as football fans need to put more respect on him.

[@In_my_own_mind]

The sentence "He is scoring goals at Manchester City, that is easy" really makes me frustrated and annoyed every time. Shows total lack of football knowledge. He isn't scoring goals and setting records because he plays at City, he has done that in every club no matter who has been his teammates, BESIDES, people who think it is easy being a striker at City should start watching City games. In half of the games they don't even supply him. How many goals would he have scored if they used his strength more (played him through so he could run and challenge defender), as they did at Dortmund and his other previous clubs? Also, Haaland has the absolute worst working condition out of any striker in the world. Why? Cause he always has 2-3 defenders close around him, and often when he gets the ball as a link up with his back against the goal, it impossible, cause the 2 defenders in his back has a much easier job sticking out a foot or just push him in the back. That is not where the ball should come. It should come in the space behind the defenders. He is actually making room for others when he attracts several defenders. They are afraid of him more than any other strikers. No other striker has it this way, it's much easier for other strikers to score goals, but still Haaland is the one who sets the records. Why do some people get so excited when a player does a dribble or is showboating, when two seconds later that same player loses the ball? What's more important, do that or score goals? There are other players in the team who can dribble if that's your thing, but few are as strong, quick and clinical as Haaland. Not every player can be like Messi. Haaland is also built differently. He isn't 1.68, light on his feet and weighs 70 kilos. He is 195 and weighs 90 kilo. And that «tap-in merchant» thing is so cringy. If it was that easy scoring goals like that, why doesn't every striker score as many goals as Haaland? I am not talking about the last seasons only, but through history? Because it isn't easy. You need to be able to read the game and run into the right position, often throw yourself into a challenge, trick the 2-3 defenders he always has around him and always stay at the right side of the offside line. Haaland is hardly in offside cause he always orients himself where he is. City needs to be better at using Haaland's strength when he creates room for the ball to be played through, and not only slow the attack down with their constant possession play. That's the big issue here, not that Haaland doesn't dribble past 2-3 players. Thats also the reason why some people say Haaland doesn't show up in the big games (which is of course a lie since he has scored against literally every team he has played). The reason why is because in certain games his teammates use him even less, and he cant score without the ball. Come on! The so-called football experts AND some football fans, get it together. Its actually embarrassing how you constantly treat Haaland with so little respect. Shame on you!

If Haaland played for Real Madrid or United he would’ve been praised by everyone as the best in the world. He’s hated because he plays for his beloved Manchester City.

[@josteingravvik2381]

The biggest "problem" the English pundits have with Haaland is that he isn't English it seems like, they still haven't learned how to pronounce his name ffs. Also, I thought that in football you try to take advantage of the best abilities of each of your players, Haaland is best as a box-striker so of course that is how he should be used.

[@andreasservan9545]

We just finished gameweek 3 in the PL. Liverpool has scored 7 goals, Chelsea has scored 7... and so has Haaland. Wouldn't surprise me if Haaland outscores entire teams this season, like he did in 22/23. It warms my heart as a Norwegian Liverpool-fan that a Norwegian player alone scored more goals in a season than Everton did. :D

[@conspiracytherapist1869]

Haaland is gonna go down as the goat no9

[@bornfacemwaura]

I used to hate how this guy was not sober in a final but now I'm cool with him. He has given City fans the goals of their dreams. He's a super goal machine. 23 hattricks for a 24 yr old player.

[@earlybirdcomics8507]

Haaland is a goal scoring machine.. doesn’t matter what anyone thinks, every football player is given a job to do by their manager, and he does exactly that, just a lot better than all the rest. Credit where credits due… don’t hate, appreciate… it’s unlikely we will see the likes of him again JMO

[@Hen7]

I don't like him 'cause he at Man City (I'm a Man Utd fan) still prefer him over Mbappe as he has a better personality because he more kind and humble than Kylian

[@Wisdom808]

Maximum respect for Haaland from here in Hawaii. The man is a warrior.

[@egoi6421]

I saw a video here on yt but unfortunatly cant find it again. It was about stats for some of the top players like Messi and Ronaldo + others. They had worse stats when playing against the best teams. Its totally normal and logical because you meet better defenders/midfielders that can compete with you on a higher level.

[@56Tyskie]

Keep scoring Haaland! Don't mind the haters 🤷‍♂️

[@eam2564]

bro looks so much better with short hair

[@bernardobastos5996]

Link-up play, movement without the ball, etc... All mechanisms to facilitate scoring goals. But Haaland is already scoring goals. More than anyone else. Modern pundits are a joke.

[@zpetar]

1:38 Zlatan got it spot on...

[@Julius37]

Zlatan always knows best. I would like to see Zlatan battle chuck norris

[@rorymyers3050]

3 minutes in and I'm already hooked! Subscribed 🔥😄

[@akindehinolawande4682]

Haaland is not a tap in merchant as you all put it he is a lethal goalscorer and he does his job best I am a city fan and I hope he improves on his others aspects of game but I really like him he does his job perfectly

[@subhrasmitkar6297]

Watching this after he scored a hattrick against Ipswich Town😁

[@AuntieTrichome]

There’s an expression in Belgium that says “High trees catch a lot of wind”. Whether it’s Haaland, Mbappé, Kane, their game is always looked at with a humongous magnifying glass. Funnily enough they are just people who sometimes have a bad day.

[@AGE_97]

I refuse to be those people who love to attack people's weaknesses. Instead I'll be complementing people and giving credit where its due. Haaland deserves all the credit in the world for his goal scoring ability. I'm not waiting till he retires. I'm giving him his flowers today. Bro deserves better.

[@StevenSmith-mv4ge]

The haters just talk. Too much noise. EH is great. I agree with Zlatan on this topic.

[@Bale_Beg]

CRAZY! I haven't met anyone who hates Halland. I'm a united fan and I actually enjoy watching him play!

[@beegbeeg9871]

It's the same song and dance that I've seen when Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were at the peak of their powers, except that social media wasn't as mainstream and globally accessible back then as it is now. And this doesn't occur in just football, the greats are always placed under immense scrutiny in any field of entertainment. That being said, the media needs to up their game when it comes to their "criticism" against Haaland because he's being bashed for actually doing the job that was assigned to him - to be a consistent goal scorer.

[@Thad94]

So glad you made a video about this Haaland is overhated ❤❤

[@ford-wp1yq]

As a man city semi-hater, i agree

[@BlutoLongneck]

Haaland: My job is to be in the box. Teammates: Be in the box Erling. Haaland: Goal!

[@matanoto]

The hate on Haaland is insane Haaland is the 2nd best ucl player of the new gen only behind vini

[@Thunder-h9h]

Defender bunces off Haaland and loking for freekick 3:46 😄

[@sofiqulislam6447]

Brother Haaland if u ever see the comment then know that i love u brother. N learn from the criticism n do as u please coz u r a star.

[@unbelievablegaming497]

People hate Haaland because he's too good. If he were playing in Real Madrid he would be praised as the next goat or the greatest striker in today's generation, however it is how football fans think after all, they only know how to bring someone down and belittle them because they either hate the club or expect much more. For me Haaland scoring goals is satisfying and I hope he will break every goal scoring record and prove every hater wrong. Even though he already is proving them wrong.

[@gregkollaeg2365]

Haaland is the best striker in the history of the Premier League!!!

[@buddyhek]

Most pundits stopped understanding football the moment they stopped playing. I listen to commentary while watching a game and often wonder if they are seeing the same thing I am seeing.

[@SikoMC]

what they don't see.. for a player of haaland's caliber to take a step back and say "we have other players in the team that can create better chances then me while my role is to score goals" is so damn professional and nothing that should ever be held against him. i'm sure he can create for himself aswell but it takes so much for a superstar to be humble enough to let other do the job better instead of trying to proof a point to the media while sacrificeing some of his own role just to look "more complete".

[@leanderperstuen4840]

94 goals in 101 games for City so far 😁🇧🇻♥️

[@MilesMerrill-f2i]

I am a Liverpool supporter but I love Haaland for what he is doing.Much love from Ghana 🇬🇭

[@lucas82]

He's not the most exciting player, he's just incredibly effective. He is also brutally honest about his own skills. Strength, speed and positioning are his game and he knows it.

[@adriancimpoi8765]

The criticism is insane. He is the best pure no. 9 on the planet and the best finisher (Kane is a 9-10).

[@halvardgjerdbakken5637]

Kane is slower than a turtle.

[@wc899]

Chelsea fan, I love and respect Haaland.. wished we signed him

[@ViscaBarca14]

Barcelona fan, same

[@v8hammertime187]

He is the best - and i have his old GLS 63 AMG in the garage ;-)))

[@Developer-online]

The Manager is guiding the player , pep told him what he wanted from him

[@trimainewilliamson105]

He deserves the respect to his name bcuz he is creating history...I mean give him his roses while he's still alive you know.

[@tobaepebinuade5830]

Comparing Erling Haaland to guys like Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane makes sense because they’re basically strikers who score loads of goals, but at the same time, their roles and profiles are so different and it can be a bit misleading. Mbappe and Haaland are seen as the face of football since Messi and Ronaldo are no longer in Europe and people have been trying to make it a rivalry between the 2 since they’re generational talents, one is a pure scorer and the other is a much more well rounded player. Off the eye test, it’s very easy to say that Mbappe is better than Haaland in a sense that on top of scoring goals, he has a lot more to his game than him since he has moments where even when he isn’t playing well, he has that ability to produce something out of nothing and he tries to provide an impact on his team. I know there are people who are saying that “Mbappe isn’t a good dribbler anymore” “he doesn’t make in behind runs”, his has declined, he hasn’t become bad at dribbling overnight or lost a yard of pace, as he gets older and his game develops, he’s going to adapt and of late he has been playing more through the middle and we could see a change in his role especially since he’s going to be used as a striker following his move to Real Madrid. As much as he benefits from his teammates feeding him the ball, he can create for himself whereas Haaland as good of a scorer he is, he needs help as he benefits from his teammates feeding him the ball and the game is a team sport. In this debate similar to Messi and Ronaldo, we all say that Haaland is a better scorer than Mbappe and while he’s 2 years older than him, career wise, Mbappe has the edge in terms of goals for club and country and also he has scored more goals than him in 3 out of the last 5 seasons while playing for a much weaker team than him despite playing in an “easy league”. Similar to Kane as well, he’s not just a consistent goalscorer, he’s regularly involved in the buildup play, he’s one of the most well rounded strikers I’ve ever seen and he has the ability to drop deep and collect the ball. Haaland is a pure striker and given his overall limitations despite him being so good at scoring goals, the difference between him Mbappe and Kane is that both of the players he gets compared to are elite at scoring and creating goals and they’re able to be impactful for their team when they don’t play well and when it comes to goals, that’s where he’s better than those guys, but if we’re talking about the complete package in combination with their goalscoring output, that’s a different conversation.

[@mikelbaningo6407]

In terms of overall ability Mbappe>Kane>haaland

[@egoi6421]

What was the point with your comment??? @tobae

[@LecksMoney]

If he’s bang average then why don’t the past 3 Man City strikers hold the all time record for goals in a season? 😂

[@channelname9468]

Haaland was loved before he came to City, people just don’t like City players

[@MrLYPH]

we're 3 games in now and the guy has 7 goals including his first hat trick of the season. I sometimes wonder if the other big clubs are funding smear articles and videos to try and break his mental game. Lad is absolute world class.

[@michaelayling8855]

Scoring is all that matters.

[@ahmedbilalchhapra]

These critics forget this goal scoring isn’t anything new😭

[@Eldragonic]

At the end of the day you can play beautiful and be unstoppable but if their isn’t any goals their is no point because you win by making goals. So when people criticize someone for what he is supposed to do. It only means he is doing a great job

[@MatiasMartinez-fy6vw]

4:19, they are 11 players on the pitch, not 1, its a team game, you can't expect every player to take the ball and run by his own 100m

[@HelloIdkwhatname]

Nowadays kids don’t now what striker means, if he doesn’t score goals then what kind of striker is he? Then a playmaker? Nowadays kids need to learn what a striker means

[@partridgeluke]

3 games in he has 7 goals scoring in 3 and getting 2 hat-tricks! Man's an absolute machine! Imma United fan and you'd be foolish to think he's a fraud

[@ShootingtheSoil]

Haaland is the most impressive big man in the box period. If a team takes advantage of that skill he will score more than anyone, but without good service he is just a big man. He is no Kane, Mbappe, or Messi and doesn't compare to them, but that doesn't really matter.

[@KK-45]

They hate you when they can’t be you, it’s always been that way since the beginning of the time. Mbappe is the cheap remake of Ronaldo with a better national team, but he is talked like he is the greatest thing to ever happen in football. Haaland is hated because he is the real life version of the player you create in fifa, he is 6ft 5in, Ambidextrous, strong, and fast for his size. He is your prototypical number 9. Other than the English fans no one is picking Harry Kane over Haaland.

[@SteveNami616]

I dont understand why people hate him. Maybe because he decided to join Norway national team instead of England 😅. Haaland is a natural scoring machine, he has proven in epl for 2 seasons.

[@DINKL8ERG]

They hate him even more now.

[@JKnath004]

If you can compete with leo Messi for Ballon d'or and Messi won just because of World cup then you are already one of the best❤... No joke

[@highestmadeit8809]

he just scored a hatrick in the second epl game vs ipswich

[@T.vango1]

Takker, Zlatan Ibrahimovich. Du er fortsatt en av mine aller største på en fotballbane. Er glad for mye av det som ligger på KZbin. Minner litt om Haaland. Haaland har mange år fremover hvor han vil bli bedre og bedre som han alltid har gjort. 24 nå vent til han er 26-30+.

[@TenderloinsToughest]

People don't understand his game at all if they want him to be more of a linkup Kane style player. The reason he's ALWAYS in the best position is because he's not involving himself in the buildup play unnecessarily. He's focused on his job: scoring goals. People act like scoring goals is easy and unimportant. It's the hardest thing to do in the game, and he does it better than anyone else. PERIOD.

[@quellonthomas2055]

All those critics and no of them is a quarter of good.

[@bruhmoment8984]

I don't get why most of the people who think Guardiola is a genius and his system is great also criticize so much a player who is basically the poster child to this way of interpreting football. Haaland is absolutely amazing in his position and very defined role. And that's it. Under the strict system imposed by his manager he only needs to stay in the box, wait for a long pass or the disrupt the defensive line and score. Everything else he does is discouraged because it is detrimental to the style of play. The comparison with Kane and Mbappè don't work because they play in different systems and have different duties. It's like saying that a speed bike for olympic biking is worse than mountain bike or a touring bike because it isn't as flexible to use. It simply doesn't matter, because it is just going to be doing one thing

[@Hypocrisy.Allergic]

Haaland will finish the best striker in history. He will have more than 1 goal per game in his whole career. One of a kind

[@vipgamez6317]

Haaland gets 2 consecutive golden boots and starts the season with 4 goals in 2 games - he is a flop. Mbappe finally moves on from the farmers league and has yet to score after 3 league games for Real Madrid leading to a disappointing 4 dropped points in 3 games - he is a truly complete player.

[@nathr7375]

He does what he was hired for and he does it well, this is coming from a Liverpool fan. He was hired to score goals and he does. Simple.

[@balintremetei3798]

They don't understand that Haaland is a finisher. He's just there to score. For him, positioning is more important than dribbling
