Comments from Teddy Sheringham have prompted a group of fans on Twitter to debate Sebastien Haller, who has only two goals in his last 15 in all competitions.
Speaking to Love Sport Radio last Monday, the Masked Singer star blamed the Frenchman’s lack of potency in front of goal on the lack of service from his teammates and stated that he’ll come good for the club in what remains of 2019/2020.
One supporter agreed with Sheringham that if David Moyes’ men play to Haller’s strengths, he’ll score whilst another accused Manuel Pellegrini of zapping the 25-year-old‘s confidence and one more likened his situation to that of Javier Hernandez at London Stadium.
It’s no secret that the centre-forward has failed to live up to what he produced in the Bundesliga in 2018/2019, thus far, but we’ve all seen what he’s capable of in the Premier League.

Wish we had a player Sheringham to play off of Haller

Been saying this for ages. He’s a very good striker but like any player he has strengths and weaknesses. Play to his strengths and he’ll score

The problem I see is that Pellegrini has already shot his confidence so bad, it’s going to take a lot to build it up again.

We didn’t on Saturday Teddy. He had his worst game for us…. I do like him as a player though and think he’ll come good…. To be judged next season imo.

It’s been this way with a number of strikers which have come and gone. Hernandez springs to mind immediately

When Antonio is back it will help Haller a lot they link up well. He needs runners around him he can play off & link up.
But he did make WhoScored team of the week based on last 6 apps.

Assuming he stays fit, maybe.
