There are hardly words to express just how dominant Erling Haaland has been this season since his move from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City. The Norwegian attacker has already scored 42 goals in just 37 appearances – and there are still many games to come.Erling Haaland – £51 millionJulian Alvarez – £14 million Phil Foden – Free Absolute bargains pic.twitter.com/GgbZx3iBPJ— 17 (@DxBruyneSZN) March 21, 2023 Phil Foden, one of City’s wingers, enjoys playing alongside the big blonde striker and says he can’t believe his luck.”It’s a pleasure to play with Haaland. I don’t know how he does it. The way his brain works, he always seems to be in the right place to finish the ball, and to play with a player like that it’s always a massive boost for us because when it’s a tight game and it’s 0-0, and there’s not a lot of chances we’ve been relying on him to get us a goal, and it’s a real pleasure to play with him.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7117979##Foden told TalkSport that he and his teammates are still adjusting to the fact they are playing with the new goal machine.”He’s helped us in the way of finding a different way to play. In previous years we didn’t really have a striker and now he’s here we’ve adapted a little bit and we’re even still getting used to him now so it’s good for the team. That’s only going to help us in the future. It makes my job easier being an attacking player and looking at someone who wants to score goals and is always ready and in the box makes it a lot easier.”💙🫶🏼 #Haaland #Foden pic.twitter.com/gAiKjnInqu— ♡ ᴱᴴ⁹ 🌐🦈 (@Risaisblue) March 21, 2023 The striker must take a break from banging in goals, though. The 22-year-old has pulled out of the Norway squad for their opening Euro 2024 qualifiers through injury. He picked up a groin problem after scoring a hat-trick in City’s 6-0 thrashing of Burnley in the FA Cup quarter-final on Saturday. He will miss Norway’s games against Spain and Georgia in Group A.
