He’s a little harsh but he’s not wrong.
Haaland offers nothing in games where City can’t create chances as usual.
And then this season, he’s missed a lot more sitters when City do create as well.
There’s a lot of room for progress and being a little more involved in the game will make City even more
Yeah, Haaland ran into a problem. If he was 99% infront of the goal, the fact he’s very mediocre elsewhere on the field would be overlooked. But he’s been missing even the sitters lately becoming pretty much useless for City’s game.
League 2 is a bit harsh but it’s a good point and he does get away with his general play being so bad because City are so good.
Arsenal’s centre halves did a very good job on him today. The league two shout is absolutely wild
