The idea that Sørloth didn’t pass to Haaland out of envy, jealousy, or literally any reason involving malice is ridiculous, imo.
The simpler explanation is that he just isn’t that good (especially as a winger), and does his best work as a body to lump long balls onto before going and sitting in the box, from where he can shoot.

Haaland is:
— Big
— Fast
— Strong
— Clinical
— Good aerially
— Literally never offside
You don’t need *anything* else from your striker when they’re all of the above and do it at the highest level possible.
In this piece, I scouted Carl Rushworth.
I take a look at his anticipation, distribution, and ‘routine’ before he makes a save, plus three factors that make me worry about how he’ll handle quick releases.
So, is Rushworth ready for Premier League football? 👇
With this, it’s important to mention that Yohanna’s not the fastest winger out there.
The thing is, he’s just so hard to shake off the ball that it may not… matter?
Of course, you’ll have to plan around his lack of pace, i.e. by having someone in close proximity to him, so he isn’t used in the same way a pacey outlet would be, but there’s something unique about a slow(ish), strong winger with good back-to-goal play who can score headers.
And unique is fun.
In this piece, I take an in-depth look at Costinha.
From his aerial ability fixing a huge issue in midfield, to winger-like ball-carrying and concerns over his tactical fit and approach to defensive angles, here’s my scouting report on Brighton’s potential next right-back 👇🔗
