After Saturday’s 1-1 Premier League tie with West Ham United, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola named Erling Haaland as his team’s missing player.
Man City lost 2-0 to West Ham United in the London Stadium, despite Haaland’s best efforts.
When it comes to his last eight games for Man City, Norway international Haaland has managed just one goal.
Having played one more match than Arsenal, Man City are presently nine points behind the Gunners in the Premier League standings after their match against West Ham.
During his postgame interview, Guardiola stated that, due to Haaland’s goal drought in recent weeks, Man City misses him. Erling Haaland is obviously missed, and we are struggling with goals,” Guardiola stated.
Connections, among other things, are what I’ve always believed make for great encounters. But Erling, we rely on his objectives.
We should have created more opportunities, similar to the three he had in the first half. That element of danger, which we lacked at times, must be produced by ourselves. He assured her that he will return.
Meanwhile, with 22 goals for the season, Haaland is still leading the Premier League in scoring.
