Get a #10 who understands, when, how and where to press and it transforms the whole team Lawrence and Dessers are quite similar in that they do some stuff okay but overall, I just don't think they're what's required in their respective positions, particularly the way Clement sets the team up. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also City's sole striker. I think that idea is nonsense tbh, he is extremely athletic, powerful runner. Great pace and holds the ball up far better than Dessers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he ain't gonna do 'baller' moves, but his game is all about power, speed and finishing. Gimme all 3 please. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 14,497 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I'm going to get accused of Haaland bashing now, aren't I. I think I'll blame Roy Keane. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 7,464 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Been out all afternoon, logged back in to read that Haaland is better than Dessers - who'd have guessed 🤷♂️😀 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuddie 1,417 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Shame there's hardly any stats from the game last night - I'd be interested to see how the xG matched up tbh. Headers are low value generally so idk if we would've cracked 2 - Dessers goal would've been pretty high though, we need to do that more. They chose to shoot from range too and had a tap in so it would be close imo. Haaland is amongst 40 goals a season because he gets high value chances, put them on a plate for Cyriel and more often than not (I hope?) he'll bury it. Bore off mate! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never expect Dessers to score an easy chance. He prefers to stumble the ball into the net off a post and through a cloud of feet. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
