Alan Shearer

in the group I'm going to get.

And then Mamouch, come on.

I mean, you see, you bought into the hype, didn't you?

That Newcastle at home, the back, the energised, Man City can't defend and all that sort of stuff.

You got dismantled, Alan.

Yeah, I think for Mahmoud, I remember the game before, it was at Newcastle, wasn't it?

We got away at Newcastle.

And then it was Liverpool, wouldn't it?

And I said, or the point I was trying to make was, when Haaland goes to Anfield, he always has that battle with Van Dijk.

And that's what Liverpool are going to be expecting.

Would it be good to introduce Haaland a little bit later in the game when the game is open so he comes on fresh?

So in answer to your question, the way Man City want to play with that two up front and have movement and runners and rotations, it does suit Mahmoud really well because remember when we first signed Mahmoud?

And it was all about what is he good at?

What is he going to bring?

And it was that run from outside to win, which is absolutely perfect.

And Haaland's tried to do that.

He's worked so hard for the team.

His movement's been better.

He's tried to get involved in the play a lot more, but he's not no longer in the center of the goal.

Mamoosh is that type of player where he can play wide left, he can play number 10, he can play number nine, he can even play as a number eight.
