No, he's being minded. He might have picked up a few injuries if he was played every minute. Edited May 2, 2023 by Mr_Dogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher chance of injury yes, higher chance of more goals, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) Wasn't it like a 50 game league when Andy Cole and Alan Shearer took that goal record? Makes Haaland's season even more insane. Edited May 2, 2023 by Pinebro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes Haaland's season even more insane. 42 games back then. Crazily Andy Cole only scored 1 penalty in his PL career, he's never really thought about in the best strikers conversation. Haaland has by far the best goals per minute rate, only Aguero got anywhere close to a goal every 90 minutes but Haaland has smashed that.

Real Madrid and Barca aren't what they once were, and the PL is the most watched and commercial league in the world. It's where all top players wants to play now. Hopefully sooner rather then later once the financial doping is proven and severe punishments are dealt, kicked down to Isthmian league 8 or whatever it is called. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo_b Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Thing is… if Man City hadn’t done what they potentially have done with the finances over the last 10+ years then this record isn’t being broken as this squad of talented players does not get created.

foreveryoung Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Still rate Shearer as a better striker. You had to be tougher in those days, he was in the poorer team too. Haaland has it all, can't be roughed up without giving away a foul or penalty, an in arguably the best team in the world, given balls on a plate.

Scary thing is, Shearer's best was 13 league goals when he was this age. Haaland should still be yet to hit his prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
