"ASSIST RECORD!" 🎯 Arsenal Fan Tom Canton INSISTS Thierry Henry Was BETTER Than Erling Haaland! 👀🔥

70 goals in 69 Premier League games he can pretty much pick and choose what record he wants to break this week well this is going to be a short conversation because all I got to say is amazing no seriously he you know to the point where I watched match of the day and my wife bless her she's not a big football fan but I had to turn to her I said like babe can you see this guy he's a machine I I to explain to her like last week he scored three goals this week he scored three goals like that's two Patricks in two games like yeah's he's reach he's reaching like Messi and Ronaldo levels of ridiculous when I think he's going I think he's going to surpass cuz not many there's not going to Sur there's not many there's not many talents like Messi and Ronaldo in this new generation of footballers and I think harand is one of the only ones him Salah Kevin De Brer I think Phil foden could go that way as well Cole Palmer if he gets out of Chelsea but yeah he I think he can go past Ronaldo or Messi one of the two for me for me lonel Messi is one Cristiano Ronaldo makes me believe that anything is possible if you work hard enough and dedicate yourself lonel Messi makes me believe in magic like he is different he's he's one of those where everything is completely different there is now the conversation and he's only been in the league what three years he's already ripping it up making it look ridiculously easy is he the greatest Premier League Center forward ever he's he's he's the best goal scorer of the Premier League has ever seen but for me it's it's a kendar he said the greatness is uh astonishments and accomplishments and so to be the greatest you have to have longevity you have to have won multiple Premier League titles you have to have been here for 10 years like the Allan Shear's the the the Wayne Rooney people been he one more Premier Leagues in Alan sheir already though he has he has but the 260 is still a thing like when Alan Shir goes on to a match a day the strap line under his name doesn't say Alan Shir Premier League win 94 95 said Alan Shir 260 go Premier League record goal scorer so that's a huge thing having that record is massive and also the longevity and we saw Alan Shir and different variations whether it's South Amington or Blackburn or or Newcastle he scored goals everywhere harand for me is the best though pound-for-pound the best like if your it test is just if you believe in your ey test and you're just seeing the footballer in front of you he's the best like no one scores goals at the rate of LL har scores a goal a game Alan sh scored 260 goals but that came in about 400 games like er harand scored a goal a game in the Premier League we we call Bundesliga a farmers League when he's doing in Austria yeah let's see if he can carry that form from salburg to to brsh Dortmund done at Dortmund yeah but that's a farmers League come to the Premier League in his first season scores 36 and 35 last year in an off Year everyone said he's falling off scored 27 League goals that's people's career years he's not he's not better than TI on and that's there we go so so just just clarify that point because do you mean he's not a better footballer or do you mean he's not a better Center forward I mean he's not a better footballer than tier on re because as a center forward You could argue he is a better Center forward as I think coru said as a goal scorer lling Harland is a machine uh a boring metronome of football is what he is because he's just and from an Arsenal perspective it's like all the pressure on Arsenal all the expectation on Arsenal all of the entitlement even from some fans to say that we should go and win the league I sat on in a restaurant on H Holloway Road watching that man city game and thinking how can we expect Arsenal to to try and overhaul this side with what they have because he is just and they are just and there is one man that can save Arsenal and his name is can I have it no I think that with with Harland it's and and with the enri comparison is that obviously the longevity thing that you were talking about is definitely a factor but the overall kind of context of the leagues as well in the different eras that they've played in I think that tiar and re played in an Arsenal team in an era of football where Defenders with Defenders and I think that erling Harden is playing in a playground at the moment of some degre because the defenders in the Premier League are different it's not to say that there aren't great defenders in the Premier League there are absolutely but fullbacks are a lot more offensive minded and you're looking at Defenders doing a lot more than just the the singular roles that they had when T re was there so when T was going up against a team it was almost like they put the back four up against tiar HRI and also that Invincible side that was so great like it was great but tiar rri made it what it is like but who's better yeah yeah who's a better striker footballer HRI goal scorer Harland but if you got to pick one well it's if I could pick one of put into my Arsenal team right now tiar re really right now it's interesting because I think it also depends on the team because as I talked about Arsenal play at the moment with a team that needs a collaborator as well as somebody that scores goals hry holds the assist record in the Premier League as well it's worth pointing out so that combination I think depending on the team they play for this man City team is just completely engineered to give Harland what he needs to win them everything as he has done the same number of by way already same number of Premier League tricks already as as t i don't agree with that statement that it's engineered to give Holland what they want I think Man City they still score goals from all over the pitch but they can also feed Holland at the same time I don't think you can say their sole impetus is to get the ball to Harland and he scores no it just ends up being that way at time he's got like a magnetic field to him as well doesn't he like even yesterday he had seven touches and he scored two goals by the time he he's and the second the second one he he's he's in like a really congested penalty area he takes one touch to get him away from Emerson and he absolutely smashes the roof off it past arola but but th those those are goals where you look at and it does look it looks easy almost it looks like a video game he's he's a player that we just haven't seen lights of and we need to really appreciate it because a goal a game in the Premier League is absolutely ins he's got 45 and 47 in the Champions League by the way for all for all of his clubs he's played for across the boards ever since went to salsburg it's almost a one in one and I do what I will say about Holland and this is the one question mark I've got about him and there a question mark had about t as well record in finals ER Holland has played in multiple finals for Man City and not scored once he's not scored a single goal Wembley and that includes a commut Shields didn't score in the Champions League final either has scored in the who has scored in the Champions League final who Kai hav I remember that very very well but tier and re had a similar record tan re you'd have him for 38 games over League season but I remember the argument back in the day was like I'll take you HRI for a league A League campaign but give me D drug in the finals HRI never scored the goal in the Cup Final either and so I think that Harland in order to win the Balon doors which he wants to win and all those individual honors I think he needs to start showing up in the biggest games because those are those are way you really make your legacy and Mark and when you're comparing our harand to an mbappe which is the modern Ronaldo and Messi we've seen mbappe score a hatrick in the World Cup final is a question if earling harland's Playing For Real Madrid now has he already got a ballondor yeah the pro see this is where it's so harsh on Holland he scored 36 Premier League goals scored over 50 goals in all competitions won the treble with Man City but Lionel Messi won the World Cup so mess's got to win the bonor he should have won the bonor he's a real Madrid player and he does all that again he wins B he B yeah because it's a different gloss when you play for Real Madrid like benma won the B door shouldn't be like that though is is there also a question mark about him internationally as well because internationally we talk about the fact that Norway when you look at their Co coefficients and you know how often they callif they've got M igard as well one of the best players in the Premier League and they've got a few other really exciting young players Shame about Oscar Bob's injury CU that looked like that could have been great and obviously you've got ner as well as on to Li Zig that's going to be exciting this season he hasn't as some Strikers we think about Zlatan Ibrahimovic for instance at Sweden dragged his nation into those he's got 31 and 33 to be fair to him for Norway what can you do you need there's only so much you can do is there one and two he scored like 15 and 30 then you be like okay maybe you could do more but he's just scoring one and one as a striker who's not limited but all you can do is score the goals he's not he's not a linked man is he he's not like a false n or anything like that that's more that's more your man odard it's always fault always arsal players fault hold on but In fairness to your point there just flicking through his his goal record for uh for Norway two against Northern Ireland one against Austria three against Romania Luxembourg ltia JB Armenia yeah but they're going to play those kind of teams and you can he can only score against who front of him and he's doing it do you know what I mean there's many players that haven't scored against some of those those those teams you know I mean we haven't seen him a major tournament that's a big knock on him you know because like some of these M some of these players or Messi at the World Cup or you remember Ronaldo winning the Euros in 2016 the World Cup tiri what w 98 yeah he was that he was France's top scorer for that tournament um but like I just I think we need to see him on that stage we need to see him deliver on the stage because Holland against ipswitch against West Ham he's going to score hat tricks but against Real Madrid is where we need to see you score goals against these big big sides where we need to see you score goals and that's what's probably missing from his game but apart from that man in terms of striker of the Premier League I I think he's the best we've seen purely because of the level of football that we're seeing now the level of I know you mentioned there's a there's a big sort of golf between the top say eight and the bottom four or something and you're right he scored fre against hip switch they expected to be in the bottom four he's he's going to score bagfuls of goals when they play Everton later in the season not in forest I don't like that Narrative of oh he scored three against this is my point this is exactly my points you're absolutely right he's still scoring three when he sensitized how good he is regardless of opposition you're absolutely right it's exactly my point he's still scoring hattricks in the Premier League exct if you're building a team and you have to pick omry or highand who are you picking wow today to play a game today if omry is in his Prim I'm still picking early you know I'm going to say that's a cop out because you're you're using the different types of football then and now to pick the player yeah just imagine that football is the same I know it's hard to do imagine football was the same then when unre played and as it is now who are you picking Holland and any era harand harand in the early naughties is a monster he AB yeah I'm I'm sorry but I just I have to stress this point like tiar HRI was just such a dominant Force across the field like harand needs to get the ball into those positions whereas for me HRI was about connection HRI was about he just created the team that was around he elevated everything about him whereas it's so inula with Harland but that's not harland's job is it his job isn't to link we're talking about if we're building the best team you want the best players for your team and if you're building a team that's got icons on the right icons in Midfield icons on the left I think if you put earling Hall in that team others around him aren't as good as if you put tier on re in that team I don't that's important though if if harand scores four I'm not that bam with it scores more than the team of Harland in it have you noticed I have not said anything yet I'm not given an answer yet come on come on and SL it's a difficult decision it a difficult decision because I think Harland is amazing but my instinct is on re man the guy was just unreal he's he's magic he's magic I watched him destroy Jamie hre is the only measure no no no but what I mean is he the only he's the only player that's actually made me leave a game early I've seen like well he he struck fear into opposition's Hearts but I think ER harand can just not do it all but he's just a physical Force yeah but he can't that's the thing Andre is a guy he'll pick the ball ear you guys into basketball not really so it's hard to quantify Erin harand because he's like Shaquille O'Neil Shaquille O'Neil was absolutely dominant but you couldn't work out is he the best player in the world is he just physically bigger and stronger than everybody else I feel that's what harland's got at the moment it's like is this guy actually good at football is he just stronger and quicker than everybody else and ultimately the answer is he's just better than everybody there was the conversation Roy started last year right Roy is a league two player right which which is nonsense okay and and I think I think I think even Roy kind of knew that I think realistically I think it was it was one of those where he was looking for an example perhaps it wasn't the greatest example because because he is not a League 2 footballer if he was playing League two we'd be talking about him already at 30 four weeks into the season or something like he he is he is he's functional okay I think that's probably the biggest criticism you could say to him because he does what he does better than anyone else on the planet and you can say perhaps there are deficiencies in his game that other players are better at but ultimately if you're scoring three goals a game don't really care what you're I think with the goal scoring side things and I'll go back to the point about if you're building like your dream FIV side team and say you got to play 10 games with your dream F side team I think the team that's got erling Harland in it and the team that tiar HRI is in I think the goals across the side will be more in the team that HRI is in compared to the team that has Harland as its focal point now already though surely the point is that a team which earling Harland has played in has won the treble a team which tier on replayed in didn't win the treble didn't win the Champions League mhm you've got so immediately there's that isn't there it's the whole it was the whole lonel Messi Cristiano Ronaldo course but I think this manity more dominant he joined a Man City team that had already won many Premier Le Invincible remember I think the point is is that the dominance that Manchester City have that he's now in you know that's important I mean did when he was at brusso Dortmund did they win the Bundesliga no they didn't they won a um they won a Pock po w p is that is that not saying with that example there that it's just not as simple as that he is in the best team the most dominant side side that we've probably ever seen and tierri played in an Arsenal side and in a Barcelona team of course as well under Pep Guardiola they did win a Tre bar team yeah he did did wi9 yeah with samto Messi so you could argue he's done it in both cases and I think that I think that when you're looking at that and you're looking at the the team that hurling Holland is in he is and the Norway side as well too I think I still think that the international side comes into it like we say that it's not just on here about dragging them but he's got to do even more it seems he can score 31 and 33 for no but he's got to do even more not fair cuz if he if he's from Luxembourg and he's still doing this in the Premier League you can't go Luxembourg Ain playing at a tournament that's not fair is it I think that's there's a slight difference between Norway and Luxembourg though yeah I mean yeah I'm exaggerating the point but when when you've got lonel Messi it's playing for for Argentina Cristiano ronal is playing for Portugal teams that are perennial teams that are qualifying for big tournaments or whatever you I don't think you can knock erling harand for Norway not qualifying and he's got 31 and 33 yeah and and and also I just I I I'm maybe going back on myself I think that t re is the greatest ever Premier League player and I'm similar to youim he's the one player that when used to play against him I knew it was going to be a long long day like he just gave you everything and also the first premier not the first premier league Superstar that's probably Eric caner but the the one who was like the commercial he transcended football didn't he he was he was a lifestyle Legend as well like the V Voom the celebrations all of it was sick and I was a Chelsea fan but I used pull my socks up high like tar HRI IED wear Vapor like tiar HRI like he he meant a lot to a lot of black kids to live down south like even if you w an Arsenal fan you like yeah T's the guy but I do think that Erland harand is just a a freak of nature we've not really seen anything like this before and cheron re is is amazing but if ER Holland stays in the Premier League for another two or three or four seasons H's records are gone H's records are completely gone and then what kind of conversation are we having because there was there was never a point that that Christian Ronaldo was the better footballer than Lionel Messi but there was a run where Real Madrid won three champions leagues in a row where you could not argue that Christiano Ronaldo was the best player in the world even though we all knew that Messi was a a more talented player but Ronaldo was just putting up those numbers and giving you that work every single week that you had to give it to him I think ER Holland's doing the same thing we are not arguing that ER Holland's a better technical footballer than tyon re but the numbers are the numbers and the hardest thing to do in football is to score goals and he does it at an easy rate I think there also an argument you could say that if tiar enri is in the position that earling Holland is in now so you take T you put him in that man City team still win everything they've won they score as many goals as a collector that they've won yeah I think they do actually but he he doesn't score as many goals as hardland no but I think the other players around him will score more does that matter yes you know what even though even though even I'm in your corner and I'm saying hry yeah it doesn't matter on am on da via the talk sport app and on your smart speaker talk sport
