Somebody mentioned the term "bug liner" on the forum a while back and reading it made me laugh. It's a term I hadn't used since my 1950s childhood days, when we played with rolled-up coats for goal posts on the local rec. and one of the team never moved, stood waiting for the ball in front of our opponents' goal. There were no offsides on the rec. then, of course!
Is Erling Haaland a bug liner? How many goals would he score, playing for Town? In my opinion, Jordan Rhodes plays best for us, when he bug-lines.

No, If you watched him at Dortmund. A lot of his goals are from when he receives the ball mid way between the half way line and the box, in a 'Transition' move. still has a lot to do.

nah, he's pretty much the complete forward - there's not much he can't do.

Haaland is a terrible example he is just a freak of nature. A modern day Ronaldo is probably a better example.
Strikers can't really get away with the 'bug liner' role these days because they have to contribute everywhere else on the pitch

Totally agree with the other posters re Haaland.
He’s a freak - impossible to copy or use as a realistic example.
Strength and Power of movement the likes of which are likely to have never been seen before.
Add to this, two footed and great heading ability !

Add to this, two footed and great heading ability ! apparently the heading ability was as a result of being managed by Solskjaer. They identified it as a gap in his skillset, so he focussed on it intensively. |

Me and about half dozen mates used to have regular Pro Evo nights, getting pissed and stoned while playing Pro Evo (obviously lol) and if we were playing with more than one person controlling each team our mate Mick would always take control of someone further up the pitch ... and wait there. Mick the Bugliner was what we used to call him and I always wondered where the term came from. None of us were around in the 50s so it must have been passed down as a description of a goal-hanger, which is what we used to call them at school in 80s and 90s. |

I don't consider him one.
It was "bog" liner at our school, where does bug come from?

It was always bugliner in 80's Golcar. A tactic which was frowned upon, but generally accepted as part of the schoolyard game, which also included 'goalie when' and having a 'penny on it' - awarding a penalty over a contentious decision such as whether a shot went over or under the imaginary crossbar.

Is this the same as goal hanger? The modern interfering of playoff offside rule did away with it?

He can read situations maybe two or three passes ahead so he has a start on opponents, hes regularly at the right place at the right time. Wether he'd be as effective at a lesser team is up for debate, its always much easier when almost every player in your team is considered world class.

Same can definitely be said for managers as well. There’s only so far coaching and fitness can go before real talent is needed. All three and I guess you’d be world class. |

It was always "bum liner" at my school.....because you park your arse near the goal line to get on the end of anything and everything.
Anyhow, Harland is not that. He is the best forward player I think I've every seen. Every attribute is off the scale.

'Post' was even trickier to judge given that the posts were probably a foot thick. A case could sometimes made for 'inside of post'. A good bug liner would keep the ball low and well within the frame. He honed his skill through endless games of 'three n in'. |

There used to be a poster on here at one time called 'bugliner'.
My Dad grew up in Brackenhall/Sheepridge area, 50s & 60s -- 'bugliner'.
I grew up around NewMill/Wooldale area, 70s & 80s -- 'bogliner'.

He makes a good ball great and a poor one look much better. Dream of a centre forward with good touch just to top it off.
Id be looking to cripple him from behind as he was getting off the team coach..💀

The player he most reminds me of is Ruud van Nistlerooy. (With the power and pace of a prime Brazilian Ronaldo).

Wether he'd be as effective at a lesser team is up for debate, its always much easier when almost every player in your team is considered world class. Valid points of course. But for example, if he played for us, I’d wager he would get at least 2 goals per game just from the Sorba crosses that currently go to waste. |

Im sure we could meet the transfer fee and his wage demands with some serious negotiating. |
