Wolves vs Haaland

[clivewolves]

I was thinking about this last night as the scores from around the grounds were being announced and Haaland scored a perfect hat-trick. In part because of Wolves' inability to convert chances for a couple of years, but also because Haaland is a freak. I said when he was at Dortmund that he is like a cyborg or has been genetically engineered to score goals. I think there is a chance he could score more league goals than the entire Wolves team this season.

Thoughts?

 

[TheConcourse]

Another 4 games and we won’t be able to catch him.

 

[JohnB]

Is this even a debate?

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

Almost a rhetorical question, he'll probably score more goals by the time the winter break comes along than we will all season

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Haaland, i said to a mate at work about his hit rate, and he was like well he hasnt done it in the prem.

My comments.. city feeding him, he could get to 40 easily.

 

[Jonzy54]

Haaland has scored 9 goals in 5 games .Including this season you have to go back to the Villa game in April for our whole team to match that figure
We have good players but we create little and score even less.The tactics are down to Bruno in that we very rarely get more than one player in the box so yes I am worried particularly with our set of fixtures after Southampton

 

[WasStefan]

I think he will score 50 this year. We will struggle to score 35

 

[woop woop barmy army]

This crossed my mind yesterday also and for sure he will.

Fabio Silva will score more goals than Wolves this season.

 

[oldgolded]

What a depressing discussion.

 

[welshy]

The bloke is a machine.

He reminds me of Ivan Drago from Rocky.

I think if we have the 'eye of the tiger' we can just about pip him at the end of the season.

 

[doogisgod]

He probably doesn't need to score any more goals than he already has now. BTW are the rumours correct that we are about to change our official club name to "Wolves nil FC?"

 

[WalsallWolf]

In fairness I have him down to score more than a couple of clubs.

I always have a few reservations when players come with so much hype, but even after seeing him for a couple of games, that lad is absolutely mustard.

 

[Sketchead]

This was about 60/1 in the bookies before the season started.

Incredible player. Love watching him. Pleasure to have him in the league. Won't peak for about five years yet either... crikey.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

Let’s swing this around.

Will we take more short corners than he scores goals. I’m going yes.

So stick that you big blonde lump.

 

[Deleted member 8455jwf]

All comps, he'll score more than double digits of the League imo.

 

[groundhogwolf]

Best and unfortunately funniest thread for ages, well done that man.

 

[Eastern Wolf]

Need 3 in defence when we play City otherwise will be a bloodbath

 

[Loefah]

We conceded 5 with 5 at the back against them in May. We've looked pretty solid in defence so far. I'd probably just stick to a 4.

 

[nomadwolf]

Maybe he'll be back in defence marking Sasa most of the match

 

[Tezthewolvesfan]

Hes incredible. Needs to do something with his barnet though

 

[Timberwolf]

He ain’t pretty. Looks like Popeye on steroid spinach.

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Suspect it will be pretty close. IF Haaland stays fit he is looking at 40 league goals you would think. We will be in and around that same total.

If he's that good we would have signed him, LOL

Re his peak...not necessarily. Young Owen and Rooney were better than their older counterparts and Sheringham the other way around....

 

[Macman]

He could genuinely score double what we score.

 

[kennyB]

He could genuinely score double what we score.

He won't get 60!

 

[Macman]

He won't get 60!

He might only need 40!

 

[kennyB]

He might only need 40!

You may be right, I was just trying to be optimistic!

 

[Contrarian]

Haaland's conceded more than us,though. We might beat him on goal difference.

 

[Southdownswolf]

The last player to score 40 in the top flight was Jimmy Greaves back in 1960/61 (41goals)!
I would be surprised if he doesn't get past that this year.
The record obviously is Dixie Dean's incredible 60 back in 1927/28... can he get to that?

Some of the scorelines in the 20s were so funny.

There are some seriously dodgy looks to a lot of scores, think some United players were popped for match fixing around that period as well. Wouldn't surprise me at all

 

[VancouverWolf]

Its kinda unflattering to have this thread…….(((((( I’m not criticizing starting the thread, btw…..just the sad topic )))).

Some fans think one guy from City will score more than our whole squad?…..….god that’s depressing. After Wolves spending over €100m and atill might be outscored by one guy?

It may or may not have some validity but after the last two seasons and the weak start to this one, …….I hope we score more goals than last season.

 

[VancouverWolf]

What a depressing discussion.

Absolutely…….hope other club fans don’t see this.

 

[Stee]

I think Haaland has the potential for twelve consecutive elite level seasons in him, his off the ball movement is incredible, he has that killer instinct and he isn’t reliant on pace in the way say Owen was.

Injuries possibly the only thing standing in the way of course which can’t be foreseen.

He could easily become the PL’s leading goal scorer just depends on if he stays in the league that long or not.

Time will tell, but he has certainly made a good start.

 

[SmokeyGB]

It's like playing FIFA with God mode on your striker.

 

[Contrarian]

Am so looking forward to Haaland vs Kilman & Collins. This is what being in this league is all about, as we look unlikely to be title contenders for a while.

 

[The Wolf In The North]

It's fascinating watching him play. His anticipation is supernatural. He's almost always in the six yard box, never on his heels, always moving unerringly to near or far post depending on the situation unfolding, always has his eye on the ball. He looks like he spends his day thinking about scoring goals, sleeps solidly at night dreaming of scoring goals, eats goals for breakfast, and his only thought in a game is getting into position to score as many goals as he can. No flicks and tricks, no admiring himself, no whining and flapping, just 100% get in the box, score, get in the box, score, get in the box, score. If he had the choice of saving a gorgeous billionairess in a bikini and her pet dog from drowning in a lake right in front of him or sprinting a hundred yards to get on the end of a Phil Foden cross when City were already leading 15-0, it wouldn't even cross his mind to choose the former.

Monster. 40 goals this season, no question.

We're only 6 goals behind him at the moment. We'll catch him soon.

 

[Supadavewolf]

We're only 6 goals behind him at the moment. We'll catch him soon.

By the time we score another 6, he'll probably be on 15
