    He plays across the back line apparently so may also be used as lwb with lamptey on the right although think he’s more back up for next couple years anyway.

    They still need another striker to get them 15 goals a season and they’ll be pushing top half. Only reason they weren’t last year was cos missed so many glorious chances.

    Yup, they actually were very much under achievers given the world done in players. They for sure need a real forward.

    to a degree, yes. But if several ‘know how to use it’, it comes down to ‘what you have’ I’m afraid. Always has, always will. Fortunately for us, we have the very best at the helm for ‘knowing how to use it’….but there’s a limit to what even he can overcome.

    Imo hes got no real pace so he is a finisher and strong.

    Haaland has no pace? Have you watched him play? Guy is quick. Not mbappe quick but quick enough and when added to his size becomes a real force when running.

    sure…

    The 20-year-old was clocked at 22.39 mph (36.04 km/h) at the Mercedes-Benz Arena, giving him the fastest time of any player in Germany’s top flight this season.
    In so doing he squeezed past the previous incumbent, Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, who had held the best mark at 22.33 mph (35.9 km/h). Bayern winger Kingsley Comanrounds out the top three at 22.17 mph (35.68 km/h).

    So glad we’ve put that one to bed, Haaland is one of quickest around.

    I've got confidence in the team, the manager and the tactics to not let someone else's shiny new toy or shiny not so new toys unduly worry me. Our full strength team can compete with anyone and come out on top. On top of that, I want to go into the new season positive.

    I've only watched him against us and he didn't strike me as quick either. Maybe that speed stat was a one off :bandit:

    There is video footage (the link Biscan posted) where he literally runs passed everyone. He's definitely got pace, maybe you (and MITO) are thinking about acceleration?

    I have 100% confidence in Klopp and the club but Haaland going to Chelsea would be hugh

    Famous quote from Micky Quinn (fat ****er), i am not the fastest player you will see running but i am the fastest over 1 yard and that's all you need in the penalty area.

    Haaland is fast all over though <ok>
