I don't think he's underrated here.
particularly, but I get his point.
He's not a kind of household name.
You know, he's along the lines of Mbappe or Vinicius Junior, etc.
Yeah, Semenya, even though he plays up with him most of the time, I mean, obviously he's switched it a bit in the second half, but when he's playing up there with him, he also gets a lot of the ball, Semenya.
He still does.
Whereas you go, well, where's, you know, Haaland's not getting, he's probably not really accustomed to playing that way.
I mean, I thought there was a lot of players on that pitch yesterday for City that were not necessarily accustomed to playing that way on a regular basis.
We've already talked about the two fullbacks that play.
One's a midfield player, one's a central defender.
You know, you're talking about elsewhere on the pitch as well with Haaland.
Semenyo, I've not really seen him playing up front much.
Prior to this, he used to play wide left mostly, didn't he, for Bournemouth?
Or he could play as a 10 or either side.
But Semenya, when he's playing up there, he's getting a lot of the ball because he's a player that kind of likes to be in possession.
He's used to it.
So Haaland's like, well, I'm not going to get a touch here.
Now, we're used to seeing him play in a way with three up top, aren't we?
Either side.
the supposed forwards, right side, left-sided forwards.
