He broke the premier league scoring record in his first season, he won city their first ucl. Won the treble. He has 13 goals in 12 games this season. Excluding ballondor and that, how can ANYONE not drool for Haalands goalscoring ability. This is coming from a Liverpool fan that cant believe the standard of talk around this player.

    I think people always rate artists over smashers.

    Haaland is a smasher. He is big, physical, a freak of nature with perfect physical attributes combined with skill.

    Messi is an artist. He sees everything and with a smooth touch creates that perfect pass that no one saw before. The pitch is his canvas.

    People always rate artists, me included, more. And as people have already mentioned, he plays for City so a lot of his contribution will be shadowed by that. It will look like he does nothing whole game and then scores couple thanks to artist like De Bruyne passing it perfectly to him.

    People will always love artists more.
