A Compilation Of Erling Haaland's Worrying Performance vs Liverpool Has Gone Viral

The 22-year-old started up front at the King Power Stadium and struggled throughout.

The Norway international put his hand to his head after that and he knew it was a big chance to open his account in English football.

Safe to say it wasn't his day and it's worth stressing, this doesn't make Haaland a flop already.

Some were left underwhelmed by his showing however and have had their say on social media.

One person said: "Van Dijk had him in his pocket I'm afraid."

Another tweeted: "He looked nervous all game."

Someone put: "Can tell he was playing in his own head at times."

While a fourth commented: "I think he'll get better but this was a bad start."

Both players and especially Nunez have been mocked on social media, with the latter getting it worst after mixed performances in pre-season.

Carragher said: "The #Haaland banter compilations will be everywhere this week after that miss, just like #Nunez last week. From [clown emoji] who have never kicked a ball in their life."

Haaland hit the ground running with RB Salzburg in Austria and Borussia Dortmund in Germany previously, but the Premier League will be another matter entirely.

City manager Pep Guardiola commented on Haaland's performance at full-time and isn't worried about his form going forward.

He told reporters: "He [Haaland] had chances - two or three in the first half and one at the end. Always he was there. He fought a lot and made the movements.

"It is good for him to see the reality in a new country and a new league but he was there. He didn't score. He has incredible quality and he will do it."
