Already got 2 hat tricks in three games this season, closing in on Agueros record of 12 hat tricks, most for a PL player.

But here's the thing...Aguero took 275 games to get those 12 hat tricks.

Haaland has 8....in just 69 games and counting.
Just looks like he'll go on and on doing it.

So how, if you're a defender, do you stop him? (Fairly)
Double up on him?
Or cut off his supply?

Maybe he's too good for everyone.

Incredibly he could reach the ‘One Hundred Club’ this season…most likely next but it’s not impossible


Already on 70

Yep, wouldn't put that past him at all, jd.
I really don't think English footballs seen anything like him.

He's a great player but whoever is marking him just needs to always stand in front of him rather than behind him as it completely nullifies his game. Cant remember the team who did this to him last season but it worked and he didnt score against them in either fixture

Born in Leeds. Home town club missed him !!!

When he’s at his peak, I don’t think there’s ever been a striker like him. Not saying he’s the best ever, but i’m not sure there’s been many with that combination of sheer athleticism and unbelievable finishing instincts.

I think it was Brentford. Ben Mee explained how they did it.

The analysis from Joe Hart on motd was interesting. From a keeper’s perspective you can limit his options but more times than most he picks the option that equals goal. He really is incredible at doing the hardest thing on a football field whilst making it look easy. Wouldn’t surprise me if he nets 50 league goals this season. Absolute beast of a player and when you add in the quality of his teammates I suspect everyone is playing for second again this season.

Let’s see if they can do it again next week now he knows how they did it last time.

I will put a stop to this goalscoring. I’ve just signed him for my fantasy team!!

That's some record isn't it...

He’s another level to anything we’ve seen so far. As said earlier, an absolute beast.

Will his record be expunged when City are booted out into the North West Counties?

If his record is scrapped and City relegated with totals removed, will all the previous Fantasy Football seasons be recalculated?

I imagine they'll just get a points deduction rather than records expunged.

It's like some highly advanced aliens designed a goal scoring machine and they're testing him out on planet Earth.

It was Brentford and Ben Mee was assigned to Haaland in at least one game. His pockets have an incredible collection of players in them for someone too old, slow, injury prone and not good enough on the ball.

The commentator at their game this weekend said when he got his second that it was now 69 in 69 Premier League games which is astonishing, so to better that, he went and got his third.

If only he'd played for England!

Haaland is almost as good as Charlie Austin.

He might score even more in the North West Counties!

Dixie Dean played 362 1st division games scoring 310 goals

Jimmy Greaves 506 with 348

Shearer 559 with 283

Haaland is a phenom, but is it only me that doesn't get excited to watch him play?

Not sure how scoring goals isn’t exciting, unless it’s against us of course.
That’s one of the main reasons we watch football.

Aye it’s impressive, but I think he should have a spell out on loan at a team like Accy and see if he’s as effective without the likes of Docu, Diaz & KDB around him

He’d definitely struggle to score against League 2 players.

Well, he's scored 31 in 33 for Norway, and I'm pretty sure that none of those 3 are his compatriots

I’m thinking I should have added the
