Next match: Pre-season. Saturday, July 11th | FC Midtjylland (H) @ Cardiff City Stadium, 12:30pm -
All pre-season fixtures
Watching the West Ham and the Community Shield matches, I was struck by how Man City have found it hard to adapt their style to accommodate Haaland.
He's clearly a class striking act - anyone can see that - but still City are intent on getting the ball out to their 'wingers' for the killer pass into the box. When Haaland was slid in by de Bruyne for his second goal, THAT was what he wanted. Yet this move only happened once in today's match. I saw at least two occasions when he started a run for a through ball - which never happened. It's obvious that he will be playing on the defender's shoulder, looking for that type of pass. He's got pace to burn - and looks very strong.

First match of the season, De Bruyne splits the defence with an absolutely perfect ball through to pick up a perfect run from Haaland who finishes it and kills the game with his second goal.

Amazing, isn’t it? Man City were playing away against a team that finished 7th last season. Haaland won a penalty and scored a second goal after defence-splitting passes. But they’re struggling to accommodate him.

Man City have paid obscene money for this bloke and he's no doubt on huge wages . This winter some people are going to be freezing their arses off as energy bills rise .

If man city stopped paying obscene wages, then would my energy bills come down in price?

What a weird post, can we discuss our players some of who earn more in a week than some of us do in a year as we freeze our arses off or are they out of bounds too, its a football message board

You can do what you like but I would prefer to be talking about cardiff city than discussing the skills of this mercenary
