ROB DRAPER AT THE ETIHAD: Kompnay appreciated it was all too much, too young, suspecting it might be a case of being drowned in praise before being forced ...

‘What everyone sees is his goals [but] his movement in the box, his athleticism and pace to be on end of those balls….and he is at the right place for his development, with right coach. Cole Palmer, the 20 year old replacement for Haaland, would find himself with a clear opportunity to make it 5-0 on 67 minutes after Peacock-Farrell had deflected Foden’s cross into his path. Guess who was there, taking a perfectly coordinated swing first time and nailing the rebound for his hat-trick? This time it was the brilliance of Kevin De Bruyne’s ball inside right back Connor Roberts was simply impossible to defend, which was followed by Phil Foden rolling his cross into the path of Haaland for 2-0. Three minutes later Riyad Mahrez found De Bruyne and Alvarez finished the incisive move for 4-0. Foden was buzzing around like the best kid on the playground showing off and accelerated past his man on 60 minutes, tucked away his shot, only to see it rebound off the post. But it didn’t help Burnley that their positional reinterpretation of English football involved Ameen Al-Dakhill deciding not to track Haaland after initially challenging for a header on 32 minutes. They’re part of a special elite and even the very best defenders find it hard to stop those guys. They went man for man on City and refused to change their style of play. Kompany knew it was all too much, too young, a case of being drowned in praise before scrambling for the lifeboats. Someone like Erling will keep finding a way.’ That’s quite the list to be namechecked with. There isn’t a team in world football that permit do that and emerge unscathed.

Getty WHAT THEY SAID: "This guy will have a problem in the future, people will expect him to score three or four goals in each game and this isn't going to happen," the City coach said at a press conference. Haaland has scored eight goals in his last two matches, having struck five times in the Champions League against RB Leipzig in midweek before firing in three as his side beat Burnley 6-0 in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Erling Haaland is breaking goal-scoring records for Manchester City this season and is changing expectations in the Premier League and English soccer.

Much of the discussion around Haaland this season has focused on whether or not he has improved Manchester City as a team. “I think the goalscoring record in general puts you in a certain bracket, a certain category. Haaland has now found the back of the net 42 times for City in all competitions this season.

Erling Haaland scored three times as Manchester City thrashed Vincent Kompany's Burnley 6-0 in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

City fans, in party mood, took to their feet and enjoyed a “Poznan”, the facing-away-from-the pitch jig ,as choruses of “we’re going to Wembley” rang out. A further scare occurred when Haaland swivelled in the area and let fly, the visiting keeper again able to save. But he could do nothing as the No 9 enjoyed yet another three-goal haul: Foden blazed against the post and there was Haaland, in poacher-mode, to finish. Burnley’s idea was similar to their hosts: squeeze the space and disrupt and it worked – for a while. Ortega spiralled the ball downfield and the Norwegian controlled and tapped it back to Álvarez. A Rodri shot was deflected clear as the Championship leaders scampered about harassing their hosts from Haaland, at the tip, to Stefan Ortega, in goal.

Norwegian striker has 42 goals for season after three more in 6-0 FA Cup quarter-final win.

His low ball into the area arced invitingly for Haaland and he lifted it neatly over Peacock-Farrell. That meant his contribution for the week totalled eight goals from just 126 minutes of action. The sixth came soon after as Alvarez raced on to a De Bruyne through ball and turned inside Ameen Al-Dakhil to thump home. He gave Peacock-Farrell no chance as he rifled home and the score quickly became 4-0 as Kevin De Bruyne burst into the area and squared for Alvarez to tap home. Burnley, the runaway Championship leaders, started confidently and Stefan Ortega was almost caught out as he was rushed into a pass and gifted the ball to Ian Maatsen. Haaland was fed on the edge of the area by Alvarez and, although Bailey Peacock-Farrell rushed out, he instinctively poked the ball beyond the keeper.

He is as he is — a high-spec, Terminator-style No. He knows that he will have the chance, he will be there. But as it remains, he keeps scoring goals, from anywhere and everywhere, with any part of his body (even with his Samurai bun if he whims so), with minimum fuss, at any time of the game, in any part of the globe. Calling him a goalscorer is reductionist like all he knows is how to score goals. It is not just that he scores goals, but scores them at a bewildering frequency. He touched the ball just 30 times — but one in six ended up as a goal.

Erling Haaland has the potential to join a 'special elite' including Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Zinedine Zidane.That's the view of Man City.

But I also see the mindset of someone who wants to improve. “I don’t need to say more than showing you his record of goals. “His game can and will still improve and that is maybe the difference with the other superstars – he is still willing to improve.
