Credit to Son for always being so clinical but you have to remember Haaland gets so many big chances because of his own movement and athleticism. Even outside City his nominal numbers are always high because he's in positions to gets shots off on goal, whether that's clever movement, the desire to challenge for a header, the pace ability to stretch for a ball that smaller players can't reach etc.

Son's always been so clinical but he's also always thrived in games where there's space to exploit vs low blocks. I get the comment was probably tongue in cheek rather than serious but there's probably loads of people pit there who genuinely believe lots of clinical players would score as many for City as Haaland does. They had Aguero for years in arguably some more stacked City teams so you can directly compare what would happen if you replaced Haaland with a different top striker/forward.
