One thing about Haaland, he looked lost playing for Manchester City and even missed an open goal from just 3 yards which would have made it 3-2 and made the final couple of minutes exciting. Liverpool new signing Nunez on the other hand did very well including scoring and getting the penalty.
Quite accurate, the truth about the matter is Haaland is under much pressure to perform than Nunez, Nunez has Mo Salah to rescue the game if he isn't having a great game but who does Manchester city have, they mostly have creators than finsihers which puts pressure on Haaland to deliver and the media has its role to play as the camera would always be pointed at Haaland than Nunez.
Manchester City have a midfield full of players that can turn a game around and support their strikers but they do not have anyone up front that can assist Haaland when he misses chances. I fear this move to the Premier League might be a disaster for Haaland and a very expensive mistake for Manchester City because ultimately he will be judged on goals scored. If he scored 20+ goals in the Premier League he will be considered a success regardless of whether Manchester City win anything or not.

I have to say this was unexpected. He was supposed to be the savior of Manchester City. Manchester City did not have a reliable attacking lineup in the last season. So they got Erling Haaland and he is in the team for only one reason, to score goals. I don’t think 20+ is going to be a particularly high score for him. He should be at least in his 30s. Then if Manchester City wins or loses, it doesn’t matter. If Erling Haaland scores 20+ goals and Manchester City wins, that should not have any negative impact on him. However, if he scores 20+ something goals and Manchester City is not able to win anything, that is liable to cause a lot of fingers to be pointed at them.
