I thought Alvarez’s pass was way off and Haaland had to stretch for it. Will have to watch it again.
Actually, just watched it on the City website - highlights . Pass to Haarland was really good and with the pace on the ball Erling was able to take advantage and go passed the defender. Not way off at all.
Just watched it again, correct his pass wasn’t way off as I initially thought. It was Haaland’s touch that made me think that. It was just a standard 10 yard pass though. Making out it was a De Bruyne on a plate in the box.
It was the speed of movement from Rodri to Alvarez to Haarland that made is a great move and superb finish.
For Haarland it shows he is a brilliant striker, he is very ,very patient , he knows he will only get bits and pieces to feed off. he was a bit annoyed at Foden towards the end as he tried to round the keeper when a possible pass to Erling was on for a tap in.
Haarlend gets man handled at corners , marked , or surrounded by players all the time. In the scouse game last night , Luton played with a back four, not a back six as Brentford did and actually had strikers up the pitch. That won't happen on Tuesday in the Fa Cup
