I think Ali's comparison with Haaland and Jokeres tells you why Haaland is an elite striker.
He's figured out, whenever certain players have got the ball, whether he can make the run or not make the run, and he figures out that he's in the right place at the right time.
Now, Jokeres was in the right place at the right time for that goal we just showed.
But the previous game, there was one ball that wasn't across the six-yard line.
Because he hasn't walked out yet, who does what when, and where should he actually be all the time?
That's the difference between the elite striker in Haaland, who's figured it out, and Jokeres, who hasn't figured it out.
Every time you look behind you, you go, oh, jeez.
I can't get over the fact that he's turned around and said, I'll take the blame for that.
Your goalie's come flapping, and then he's actually just completely missed one.
