    No place for Delap on the Man C bench. Is he injured?

    He’s very rarely on their bench. He is not in their top 6 attackers it would seem. He doesn’t even seem to be second choice for the central role

    Quite a few Leicester fans wanting Rodgers out. Reckon we'll get something up there in a couple of weeks.

    Brighton seem to be a team you don't want to play early as they always seem to start well before fading.

    City are cruising to the title if Haaland stays fit. Incredible striker.

    Shows the danger of knee jerk reactions after one game. Lots seemed to write him off after the community shield game

    Equally - it is still only two games

    True but his scoring record in Germany speaks for itself. Plus he has this really rapid acceleration which is almost unfair. With players like KDB to pick him out I'll be staggered if he doesn't win the golden boot.

    Haaland going straight into the fantasy team at a cost of 4 points for next week.

    Sorry Son.

    He was straight in for me as captain from the moment I created my team.

    Oh I don’t disagree. But I still heard people call him a donkey after the community shield

    Those people are incredibly stupid, and should never be allowed to comment on football again, unless it’s on Saints Facebook posts, so we can keep all the idiots in one place.

    Be interesting how he does over a season. Reminds me very much of when Ibra went to Peps Barca

    Haaland has the pace that Ibra never had though. Ibra was absolute quality but never made runs like Haaland did for his second goal.

    I've literally ripped My team apart, Added in Salah, Jesus and Haaland, removed Sterling, Nunez and De bruyne

    Yeah I think if haaland can stay injury free he will break so many records. He has the potential to be the best number 9 of all time.
