The 22-year-old grabbed the headlines with a double for the Citizens but some fans are not convinced with his overall output for the champions
Despite notching two goals in Manchester City's 3-1 Premier League victory against Leeds United on Wednesday, some fans doubt Erling Haaland's talent and are questioning what else he brings to Pep's team.
The 22-year-old Norwegian forward continued with his fine run in the English top-flight with his second-half double at Elland Road taking him to 20 goals from 14 matches and becoming the quickest player to reach that mark in the league's history.
This, however, has not impressed a section of fans across Africa, who feel Haaland, who joined Man City at the start of the season from Borrusia Dortmund, is benefiting from easy goals made by his teammates.
Below are some of the fan comments as compiled by GOAL.
So when will this man [Haaland] win goal of the month for himself? Always in the box waiting to tap-in. - Kwophy Quayson
80% tap-in goals in a free-flowing team. These ain't nothing special. - Reign Godz Gh
Haaland is the biggest tap in merchant. - @kenmwai
Has Haaland ever scored a goal that isn’t a tap in??? It’s actually so weird at this point. - James Oeri
Is anyone actually moved by Haaland’s play or are they just moved by the numbers? This guy must have the worst goal catalog in history… 95% of it is pens and tap-ins. - Fred Waweru
Without dribbling past anyone, just waiting for the ball in the box and using full force to tap-in. - Tylvas Endjambi
Is tap-in not a goal? What’s the work of a striker? If my team Chelsea is having just a tap-in striker, I bet you we would be on the top of the table. Let’s appreciate the guy, he is really doing a great job. His work is to score and he is doing exactly that. - Musah De General
They used to say, he will never score 20+ goals in Premier League, but now he breaks another record. Respect him. - Sida Kendrick Nyirenda
No skills apart from goals. - Prince Ofori Okae
His goals aren't those typical Didier Drogba, Luis Suarez, Fernando Torres kind of goals. So some of us aren't impressed at all. - Wisdom Kojo Norkplim
What he is doing is quite insane, people will bark that these were tap-ins but his positioning skill is so perfect the ball finds him when it wants to go back of the net - HarshRaj
