    You need to be able to do a bit more at the end of the day if you want to be regarded in such circles

    Says who? There’s no one in the world better at Haalands role.

    Why is Haaland expected to dribble on the halfway line and play make, but Vinicius, Bellingham and others aren’t expected to score 60 goals + go for another treble

      I dunno…people who watch football? Look at any list of the top players of all time and find the highest one that wasn’t technically fantastic. People don’t revere only great goalscoring, but great footballers. Pele, R9, Cruyff, Maradona…

      Many players have scored a lot of goals. Haaland isn’t even as good as Harry Kane at his own job, and Kane does far more besides. He’s got a long way to go to be in any conversation as one of the greats.
