Liverpool fans have reacted to Erling Haaland’s comments ahead of their clash against RB Salzburg tonight.
Haaland has been on fire both domestically and in Europe, scoring eight times in the UEFA Champions League and 16 times in the T-Moblie Bundesliga in Austria. Scoring in his domestic league isn’t, perhaps, all that impressive given the quality of opposition, however, the eight Champions League goals have caught everyone’s eyes.
These fans have reacted to the 19-year-old’s latest pre-match comments (according to Give Me Sport).

2-0 W confirmed for Liverpool

Will Erling Haaland score against Liverpool?
Yes
No
Haaland scored against Liverpool in the reverse fixture, despite only playing 34 minutes. However, it would appear not many of the Liverpool faithful are buying his confidence and, perhaps, are taking it as a sense of arrogance instead.

What Do We Think?
With Erling Haaland scoring for fun lately, Jurgen Klopp’s side will definitely be wary of what the 19-year-old brings to the table. Predicting a 3-1 win for RB Salzburg is certainly something that shouts out confidence, despite a degree of arrogance probably being hinted. However, you can’t knock the guy for being confident and he also deserves credit for not being distracted by a move away.
