Erling Haaland has lived up to the expectations of his coach right from the start of the season
Manchester City lost their long-time striker and club legend Sergio Aguero in the summer transfer window. Fans were worried if their new signing would be able to live up to the pressure. Well, Erling Haaland has been a major threat to the opposition, as he has scored 13 goals in just 8 matches in all competitions. There is whatsoever no sign of him slowing down.
Despite Manchester City’s slow start to the season with draws against Newcastle and Aston Villa, Pep Guardiola finally finds his side settled with Erling Haaland coming into the team as a natural number nine. The previous season, City mostly used the false nine position due to the lack of a perfect striker but now Pep has assigned Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden a much more advanced role in the final end of the pitch.
