I had the feeling he is always an incredible threat for the opponent. “I had the feeling he is not at his best. It is a question of time for the injury. “The numbers are unbelievable but I have the feeling he is not just coming here for the numbers, he wants to win it.” However, that joint record came when there were 42 games played during a season. “I think he is still not at his best, as he was at the beginning of the season, because of the injury he had at Dortmund for a long period,” Guardiola told reporters

After scoring twice in Manchester City's 3-1 victory against Leeds United star striker Erling Haaland wanted more. "I've been at home, being a bit mad that ...

He ripped it up at Everton and ripped it up at West Brom. “He’s a very good finisher but it’s a completely different game when you get to Manchester City. Where teams come and have a go, he is a handful. "To watch other people score to win games at the World Cup kind of triggers, motivates and irritates me. What is a testament to the standards of the Premier League is that his incredible goalscoring has not pushed Manchester City clear of the rest. That's life, I have to practice more.” Whether this is a vindication of the standard is debatable, it certainly demonstrates its competitiveness. Merson’s prediction turned out to be wrong, but is it because Haaland is so good or because the league is not as people say? "He is still not at his best, as he was at the beginning of the season," said the Manchester City coach "the injury he had at Dortmund affected him for a long period." "To move his huge body is not easy for him but the more minutes he can play, the better he will be,” he added, "I had the feeling in the first half of the season, [the chance he had and missed] in the first minute against Liverpool [in the previous game], and today the second minute against Leeds, it's a goal. The prospect of an even more clinical Haaland is terrifying because he’s already laying waste to a host of Premier League records. Few predicted Haaland would score at the rate he had in Norway, Austria and Germany when he moved to the self-proclaimed ‘best league in the world’, but he has replicated his incredible stats with ease.

Erling Haaland said missing out on the World Cup was an "irritation and motivation" that drove him "a bit mad."

"For me, as a striker, I have to score more. In my craziest fantasy, I couldn't think of being at Elland Road and scoring for Manchester City against Leeds." "I just said inside the dressing room that I could have scored five, but the most important thing is that we won. No player has ever scored 40 goals in a Premier League season -- Alan Shearer and Andy Cole jointly hold the record with 34 goals in a season -- but Haaland is now on course to break that barrier. But when I miss, I want to score even more. "Watching other people score to win games at the World Cup triggered, motivated and irritated me.

He's finished 40.8 per cent of the opportunities, when the mean is 41.25 per cent. In fact, you could argue it's actually been the story of his season so far. Instead, he only needs to be average in this department. Núñez doesn't need to transform his finishing to hit elite goalscoring numbers at Liverpool.
