    Haaland to Ekitike went well, then

    Can't rely on Liverpool attackers this season, but at least I'll catch his random hauls later on

      Unfortunately Ze_Austin nope!

      Haaland not in great form but I will bench for GW31 & look to him get points in DGW when
      finally planned against Crystal Palace.

      I could not afford to get rid & then try to get back until possible DGW
