My comment is not really about the idea he can’t have a bad game, it’s whether his skillset allows him to holistically, consistently impact the full game in the way the absolute best do.

No. Shearer has the record for most goals in total, not the record for goals per season.

Haaland scored 36 last season, Shearer's best was 34.

Yes that's what i'm saying, typically Shearer's record is called 'the all time goal scoring record in the Premier League'.

I worded incorrectly, should've added that I mean goals scored in a season

Even though anyone who has a bit of logic know I obviously did not mean that he suddenly became the all time leading goalscorer

I mean, I've watched some disastrous games from both Messi and Cr7, it's not like every single one of their +900 games has been a 10/10

This being said, and it might sound controversial I know, but I believe Haaland could reach Ronaldos level, he's already a world class finisher, is good in the air and has crazy top speed, only thing he lacks in comparison might be the dribbling alltough he doesn't really needs that when bulldozering through the defenders does the trick. This being said, he's still so young, maybe he develops some crazy techniques too. His biggest challange in this case would be to keep up with the numbers for 15+ seasons, but who's to say he can't do that.

Messis level on the other hand, is unreachable, for any human being. And every comparison between the two would just be unfair and not make much sense.

He could reach Cristiano's level in terms of goalscoring. But he stil has a loooooong. Way to go.

I hate that there is even a chance of this happening, knowing Southgate

I meant that, Haaland's best goalscoring season is still very far away from the numbers Messi and Cristiano put during their peak. So he still needs to get better than his current peak, and maintain the level for 15 years.

I thought Shearer had 34 in a 42 game season? Same as Andy Cole. Whereas Haaland 36 in a 38 game season?

Dixie Dean, Jimmy Greaves, and whole bunch of other players still scored more than all of them - but most of those records are from the 1920s and the game was presumably a bit different then.

all time goal scoring record

Shearer has this record. Haaland has the most goals in a season.

[–] Lutzelien@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Obviously I know Haaland didn't score 200+ goals in a single season lol

With every tap-ins, comes blessing upon humanity.

[–] halfeatenreddit@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You mean those goals that count towards the scoreline?

[–] DekoyDuck@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Confirmed, Vincent Tan is bringing back the red and black and signing Bellingham to Cardiff City.

[–] Deetawb@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True, before southgate we were such a great team.

Imagine thinking a Brazilian would get this dickridding after so little, lol. Vini won an UCL with a goal in the final, slapped everyone around for a full season, was recognized by some in the sport as top 3 in the world, and... Was left behind Declan Rice and 9 other players in the "the best" shortlist. Only a few select countries get this media attention
