Dr 2 Know see how you disgrace yourself with your "inner sources" what a comedy.

TheLoneCitizen:





Haaland is a phenomenal player, I agree, but he is overrated.


Let's check the stats...

TheLoneCitizen:
Haaland's biggest strength is his finishing, he doesn't miss chances, but his all-round play is not as good.
It would have been great to use his stats at Salzburg but these are unavailable, so also are Osimhen's stats at Charleroi.


Also Haaland hasn't played enough games, meaning the stats would be in his favour.

But even Norwegians know that Haaland is overrated. Yes he has contributed 12 goals in 8 apps, but Osimhen smothers the lad.

chukwunedum150:
Just heard this Hertha Berlin defender Jordan Torunarigha is a Nigerian.

TheGoodJoe:


You honestly rate Osimhen ahead of Haaland? That is an interesting take. Well I feel Haaland is better due to his all-round play and use of space. Especially his dashes.

Edopesin:


seems you came late to the internet party

All the stats are available sir
Check Transfer market and Whoscored

komekn:


Do you mean a TV fan or fan that comes to games, involved with the club as an official fan club member, occasional associated engagement with coaches and other staff, etc


Because "WE" is very ambiguous.

Danielnino00:


His comment really surprised me.

Maybe he can help me get a UK Visa so I can visit Anfield .
Seems like he has developed a penchant for showing off.. like he did with Chriskels the other day .

TheSuperNerd:
He is right to take Osimhen ahead of Haaland just as someone else is right to take Haaland over Osimhen. Both are generational talents so preference for who is better is allowed. I consider both at par.

And I think you really overhype Haaland's all-round play. Haaland is a super finisher, has power and technique but his all-round play is not up there. He is not even a pressing machine compared to Osimhen.

In terms of using or attacking Space, Haaland is very good but so also is Osimhen. Osimhen is the pressing King of Ligue 1. Does it even better than Mbappe.

Haaland is also not the kind of striker that will fall to the wings, constantly seeking out space to exploit when crowded out in the center but Osimhen is the striker that can use the wings to evade his markers.

If na pace, Haaland does not come close to Osimhen.
If na Height, Haaland trumps easily and is a better target man than Osimhen but despite Haaland's height, Osimhen still commands better aerial prowess.

Hold up play, both are good. Passing in the final third, Haaland edges.

I don't want this to turn into a debate but there are attributes where both players have it over each other but the player with the better all-round attributes between the two is definitely Osimhen. No question about that.

In the end, I repeat, I consider both at par b'cos I consider both to be generational talents.

TheLoneCitizen:


When I said stats, I meant detailed stats like 'Shots per goal' 'XG' 'Big chances missed'. No one covers Austria.

I have seen Haaland play and boy is fast. But Osimhen is something else.

Haaland is like Lewandoski. Osimhen is like Diego Costa.

TheGoodJoe:


These shots will give you an idea how insanely fast Haaland could be when on his devastating sprints.

Edopesin:


I'm crying

Haaland is Messi as a natural striker
He is a joy to watch

Utonwanne:


Don't you ever compare

Edopesin:


Bad Energy


Kindly show me where else I've compared today or move ahead

TheGoodJoe:


For a start, Haaland's top speed is 36km/h while Osimhen is 35km/h.

Let me drop some excerpts from total football analysis magazine;



While he is good in the air as well – he has a success rate of 41% for aerial duels this season – his primary weapon is his pace and movement to get in behind defenders.

One of Haaland’s best attributes is his movement off the ball. He is constantly on the move looking for space, and usually tries to make runs off the shoulder of the last defender to go through on goal. Allied with his pace, this makes him a fearsome proposition for opposition defenders.

Allied to his movement is his creativity – both on and off the ball. In addition to having scored 28 goals so far this season, the Norwegian also has five assists, pointing to his ability to fashion chances for his teammates.

This is not a post on who is better but to highlight qualities of Haaland I feel are overlooked which play a big part to his success.

safarigirl:


Welcome to the thread. It is clear from this post, that you have not been with us all this time.

TheSuperNerd will show you around, Joebie will help you with some drinks, don't mess with Andrew, and Yarayara is moving about with a harmful weapon, so, please, avoid him as well.

Once again, welcome to the thread, my brother.

TheGoodJoe:


Only time will tell but Edopesin has a strong point though.

chukwunedum150:
I'm not new here though

Edopesin:


So you will take Costa ahead of Lewandowski? funny shii

someone has 23 goal contributions in 16 appearances in the Bundesliga and you're looking for XP

Edopesin:


I'm crying

Haaland is Messi as a natural striker
He is a joy to watch

safarigirl:


And you've not heard of Torunarigha here? That's so weird.
