Gary Lineker

And Haaland just has the reign and he can spin behind.

He'd largely do what he wants.

Now, he's never been a player that gets involved too much in the build-up.

I wonder how many times in his career he's played with two up top.

And it is a different skill because you've got to make your runs off your partner in many ways.

If he drops in short, you want to get behind him.

If he goes behind, you can perhaps go short.

Or he goes left, you go right.

But if he's not played that way very often because he's always been the main focus up front, it's not...

necessarily easy for him you talked about in the first 15 minutes where he would normally be making maybe he's thinking well is Semenya going to go do I I don't know I'm just thinking out loud but you know Alan would have grown up playing with someone else alongside him I grew up playing with someone else alongside me and then it was only in the latter stage of my career I played up top on my own

for quite a bit.

And it is different.

It's a different skill set.

And he's also probably, you know, he always strikes you as a very confident lad, but he will be hating this moment.

He will be hating the fact that he's not scoring goals.

It's the worst, Alan, when you're going through these kind of spells.

All high strikers will do it.

But what you've got to do as a striker, I think you've got to keep getting in there.

You've got to make the runs that score you the goals.

Don't shy away from it.
