He had a bad season last season. His first bad season, and do you know how many goals he scored in that bad season? 31.
A player in his bad season scored 22 goals. How many strikers today can score 30 goals in a bad season?
In the league, he scored 21 goals, that's just 1 behind Isak and 7 behind balon d'or worthy Salah.
You don't compare players who had one exceptional season to a player who is consistently at the top level. I will say it again, aside from Mbappe, there is no striker who can bench Haaland. Not Isak, not Gyokeres,, not Retegui, not Lewandowski.
Haaland, like Man City, had a bad season, and that's all it is. But even in his bad season, he was among the top 3 highest goal scorers in the league. You can only say he's replaceable when another striker has consistently done better than him, and that is why I rate Mbappe ahead of him, but even Mbappe is not naturally a striker, even though he's the better goal scorer.

Ballon D'or Worthy Salah! Grin

I can't help but laugh at some of you rigid Premier League faithfuls. All you think is that Premier League is the only place where good football is being played and where superstars are born just because that is just about the only league you watch

Your cognition is just caged to only the Premier League. But judging from the previous ballon d'or winners, any sane football fan should be able to judge and recognize good football outside the overhyped EPL. Haaland was shit last season, whether you want it or not. No need to sugarcoat shit.

Haaland was good enough last season to say he was bad seems like you are a bit too hard on him. Manchester City were not perfect, if the team was more consistent Haaland would have scored more goals. It is a bit too much to say Haaland was not good last season. If Manchester City had dominated the league instead of Liverpool Haaland would have scored more goals last season.

If City dominated this season Haaland will score enough goals this season.
