If he keeps scoring at this rate tonight he could do 9-0 on his own 😃

Haaland is easily going to win the golden boot at this rate . Always in the right place at the right time, what a player

TitianGerm · 31-08-2022 08:01PM

I think everyone knew he was going to score a bucketful of goals. He's the perfect player to play up top in the PL. He has everything, pace, strength and most importantly just the knack of being in the right place at the right time.

City are incredible....can't see anyone beating them again... another COVID season is needed, that's about the only way they can be stopped

It's weird, cause they've actually been quite poor this season so far by their standards - but Haaland's goals mean it doens't even matter.

Another Haaland hatrick, not even half time

breezy1985 · 31-08-2022 08:14PM

He has already paid back the 4 point hit I took to swap him for Salah in Ff

Bluebb993 · 31-08-2022 08:16PM

Back to back hat tricks. Has it been done before in PL?

Infoseeker1975 · 31-08-2022 08:16PM

City will walk the league if Haaland stays fit, that is the key for them so that they can rest players and just focus on the CL from end of Feb.

The_Kew_Tour · 31-08-2022 08:17PM

Haaland is going be some flop alright.

Fitz* · 31-08-2022 08:20PM

Timewasting by Newcastle evident all this half.

Nick Pope had the doctor on to give him a tablet after 2 minutes. What was that for? Surely a headache / anti-sickness tablet would be taken before the game and not left to chance.

Did anyone think he would be? I'm not sure I can remember a player coming in with a more unanimous expectation of smashing in a whole rake of goals 😅

TitianGerm · 31-08-2022 08:27PM

Kehrer having an awful time with WH do far. Gave away a penalty last week and after scoring an OG tonight.

Didn't City win the league that was almost totally behind closed doors?

They did but they can win it with or without crowds..they have yo be up there with the greatest premiership teams ever

EltonJohn69 · 31-08-2022 08:45PM

Trent is costing Liverpool a lot of goals….

DellyBelly · 31-08-2022 08:46PM

He's a poor defender alright...can see why Southgate doesn't pick him... however going forward he's decent enough

eh i dunno · 31-08-2022 08:47PM

On paper that's a very ordinary looking Newcastle team.

TitianGerm · 31-08-2022 08:56PM

The amount of time wasting after creeping into the PL over the last while is awful. Between it and lads faking head injuries it's really taking the enjoyment out of games.

I used to watch three or four PL games at least every weekend but I just couldn't be bothered anymore. Every single game has it now no matter what.

The only way it's going to be stopped is if they introduce a dead ball clock and it's stopped every time the ball is out of play.

Just watching sky sports news and the scores. How do sky persist with Matt Murray on commentary..? Seems a sound lad but not cut out for this. Very monotone, he'd nearly put you asleep listening to his match summary
