Erling Haaland nominated for Premier League Player of the Month for October – But how he did it is shocking!

As expected, Manchester City’s “goal machine” Erling Haaland has officially been nominated for Premier League Player of the Month for October. However, what has fans and experts talking is not the title, but the way he achieved it – cold, ruthless, but effective.

Along with Haaland, the nomination list also includes prominent names such as Matty Cash (Aston Villa), Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle), Eli Junior Kroupi (Bournemouth), Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford), Nordi Mukiele (West Ham), Igor Thiago (Burnley) and Jurrien Timber (Arsenal). Although these are all names with high form this month, almost no one can compete with Haaland in terms of efficiency and overall influence on the team.

The cold “machine” returns at the right time

After being criticized at the beginning of the season for “disappearing” in a few big matches, Haaland returned to destructive form in October. The Norwegian striker scored 6 goals in just 4 matches, including a lightning hat-trick in just 23 minutes against Bournemouth, causing the whole Etihad Stadium to explode.

What is worth mentioning is the way Haaland scored – not flashy, not too many touches, but extremely precise and cold. A sprint, a kick, and the net shook. Everything happened so quickly that the opposing defenders did not even have time to understand what was happening.

“He doesn’t just score, he dominates space”

After the match, coach Pep Guardiola had special words for his student:

“Haaland doesn’t just score. He changes the way opponents have to defend. As soon as he moves, the opposing defense is in chaos. That’s a rare kind of power.”

Many experts also agree that Haaland is gradually perfecting himself more than ever. He doesn’t just stop at finishing situations, but also participates in pressing and supporting teammates – something many people think he lacked.

When silence is the strongest answer

What makes people “shocked” the most is not the goals, but Haaland’s attitude. Without celebrating loudly, without posting complacent posts, Haaland just quietly walked onto the field, completed the task and left.

A Manchester City insider revealed:

“Erling knows what people are saying about him. But instead of reacting, he chooses to let his feet do the talking. He is quiet, but the look in his eyes when he steps onto the pitch says it all.”

October title race: Who can stop the “giant”?

Although Matty Cash and Bruno Guimaraes are both in great form, all the statistics are in Haaland’s favour. He not only scored the most goals in the month but also created more dangerous chances than any other striker in the Premier League.

However, many fans are still cautious, thinking that the Premier League may “want to diversify the title” and not award Haaland too often to keep the race attractive. However, Haaland’s actual numbers and performances make it almost impossible to “ignore him”.

Conclusion: A month of return and assertion of power

Although it is only October, Haaland’s recent performance has sent a clear message: he is still the heart of Manchester City, and still the biggest nightmare for every defense in the Premier League.

If he continues to maintain this form, not only the title of “Player of the Month” but also the Golden Boot, even Player of the Year will be difficult to escape from his hands.

And perhaps the scariest thing for opponents is not that Haaland is scoring a lot – but that he is doing it without trying too hard.
