00:00 Yeah, it's always hard to make comparisons because I come from generations where a lot of young strikers were pretty decent when they first started.
00:09 But he is decent.
00:12 I guess his movement, like I said, his finishing, but more his real focus on scoring goals is quite extraordinary.
00:22 Because you'll see other strikers who are focused on scoring goals, but he has a real strong mindset of being in that position.
00:30 You see when he misses a chance, I reckon within a millisecond he's moved on and looking for the next one.
00:36 And like I said, it's frightening at his age, the amount of goals he could score.
00:41 But yeah, the key is, I guess, can we as a group sort of handle what attacking threat, invariably a team like Man City have.
00:54 And they come from different avenues and can we, like I said, minimise the amount of times they get the ball to him, minimise what areas they get the ball to him.
01:02 But they can hurt you in many ways.
01:04 Even if Erling doesn't score, they've got plenty of goal threat in there.
01:07 So for us, it's going to be a great test to kind of try and minimise all those threats and more importantly, be a threat ourselves.
01:16 Because otherwise, if we're not a threat ourselves, then you can sort of hold the damn wall for as long as you possibly can.
01:23 But eventually they'll break through it.
