dixie dean scored 60 goals in a season in division one? sixty :ufdup:.

also there is a player with the same total number of assists + goals as haaland in the same number of games right now in another league.

the "whole world" is not "reading about that".

it is this notion of EPL exceptionalism it is.

let the thing breathe a bit.

Man gtfoh with this. No one is touching Haaland atm. No messi, ronaldo, mbappe and whoever u trying to not name due to assists.

Stop hating and appreciate

Honestly I love Mbappe, but he's had a bad run of PR the last few months. Add to the fact that his play on the field has been down and what Haaland has been doing in the EPL it's not hard to see why fans are in favor of Haaland. He's also playin in a league that is vastly more visible and accessible to watch for fans.

When has the assist king ever gotten more attention than the leading goalscorer? Y'all can G+A all you want but the guy who finishes usually gets all the plaudits.
Dude sounding like those xGA nerds on Reddit who cry when a team with lower analytics wins the game. It’s that simple goals>>assist in eyes of most viewers

Ita 2022, not 1995. Every major league is vastly accessible.

Yeah, when did combining goals and assists even become a thing? It seems very recent

there is another player out there who has fewer goals but far more assists and who currently has the same number of assists + goals this season as Haaland.

but because he is not playing in the EPL he is not getting the press.

Who is this mysterious future GOAT we're criminally overlooking and what league are they playing in?

PSV's Gakpo probably. :heh:

I think he's talking about Neymar, I'm not gonna look up the stats but he's better right now than he's been in years.

Like I said the world cup will come and Haaland will be watching it just like the rest of us. The hype machine will be working on someone else then.
