Haaland has improved this season a lot. But I don't really think he really cares about dropping deep and pinging crosses. Or going past players. A very unique player, indeed.

[@johnboy1760]

First off, he’s 23. Very few players if any are the complete article at that point. He’s showing he’s actually never seen Haaland play outside a city kit. He has shown many times the ability to drop deep, link up play, he’s simply not asked to for city. Probably because pep wants to keep him healthy. But his link up play is comparable to a creative midfielder in the Bundesliga at times. And even if we assume he isn’t…who cares…he’s the greatest goalscorer the prem has seen and it’s frankly not close. Even if he is flawed, Aguero played on a more talented City team and his greatest ever season, he didn’t have the same amount of goals as Haaland’s down year last year. He’s unambiguously the best goalscorer, no one is close. If his name was Jack Smith and he was raised in Hackney, they’d call him the best in the world and the second coming of R9.
