I think that is true to a degree, but some players are never going to be good enough. Central midfield as you say is a massively critical area - I'm not sure McT and Fred would start for any other team in the league.

I thought Martinez struggled a bit initially but looked pretty assured by the end of the game.

I mean if you ignore this in the 54th minute then sure.

If Haaland can actually start scoring he should get a hatful with the number of chances City will provide him.

If he doesnt, it wouldnt be the first time that a prolific continental striker has come to the English league and struggled to be as effective. Testiment I guess to how much tougher the English league is than continental leagues.

I don't know. Its odd because sometimes the striker doesn't perform because they don't get enough space etc but it makes no sense when they come here and just lose their ability to finish. I've seen Haaland miss some sitters since hes been here. Nothing to do with less time or space, just bad misses. Same for Werner. Couldn't hit the back end of a barn door at times.
 
Stone wall. Not sure why keepers do that. The striker, 9/10 just smacks the ball out the back and gets the penalty because of contact. Just come out and make sure you miss the player. Getting the ball isn't even important. Just miss the player.
 
Still think Haaland is going to be injured a lot in the PL if hes not careful. Hes a big lump and accelerates really fast and puts a lot of force through his body. One of the reasons Ronaldo had such issues with injuries during his career.

Going to be disappointed if you compare them :D

Absurd challenge from the keeper though

We'll see, I half suspect that Nunez will outscore Haaland this season due to Nunez being a better immediate natural fit for his team than Haaland for his. Next season though, after City and Haaland have had more time to learn to play to each others strengths, will probably be a different case
