And hard as it is to take 99pc of pundits seriously, it's even harder to take anything you say seriously, when you have so many question marks over pep's managerial ability so often and claim to have all the answers yourself.
I CALL IT AS I SEE IT , SOME FANS AND PUNDITS AGREE WITH ME AND SOME DON'T JUST AS SOME FANS WONT AGREE WITH YOUR OPINION.
I HAVE GIVEN PEP PLENTY OF PRAISE NUMEROUS TIMES AND IVE CALLED HIM OUT WHEN I THINK HE DESERVES TO BE CALLED OUT JUST LIKE OTHER FANS DO.( YOU NEVER DO AND NEVER HAVE)
Haaland has 19 premier league goals in 24 starts this season, despite all of the issues debated above.
HES SCORED ONE IN THE LAST 5
I think he has 80 goals in 89 games for us and I think he may have the best goals to games ratio for any top league player at his age in the history of the game.
He'll improve, no doubt it. Like all players as they reach the ripe old age of 24
MY ISSUE IS HIS ' CURRENT FORM ' ESPECIALLY AS NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO BE FUCKING MISSING GOALS OR GENERALLY BEING A SPARE PART ON THE PITCH.
MY ISSUE IS HE SHOULD BE SUBBED IF ALL HE IS DOING IS ' OPENING SPACE FOR OTHER PLAYERS' BUT FANS LIKE YOU ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE HIM ON THE PITCH EVEN THOUGH HES ONLY SCORED 1 IN THE LAST 5 MATCHES.
I thought I would shout to give you a flash back from 2001 !!
Nice, got a bit nostalgic there.
Pep was just saying in his presser that he was happy Madrid put two players on him and he hopes they do it again.
I absolutely agree btw that alvarez should be starting in his place for certain games depending on the opposition.
This will also keep alvarez sharp in front of goal whilst resting haaland.
What I don't like is alvarez being pigeon holed into other positions on a long term basis.
I get why Pep does this all over the pitch and it works brilliantly. It allows us to have a smaller squad because 90pc of players can play in multiple positions.
However, I'd rather alvarez only played out of position because of injuries etc.
Btw 1 in his last 5 isn't a disaster. All strikers go a few games without scoring. This one tends to make up for it in his next few games though.
Let's see
