In fact, last season Haaland could not do anything well in the last two matches After that, Haaland's dedication to hope's journey to the final is the best of all. So it is not right to criticize him with the last two matches.
No one is criticizing him, but some people only take into account some of his weaknesses in the last two Champions League matches last season. Haaland didn't contribute much to the final as he didn't score, but it's not a big deal as long as Manchester City are able to win the title. As people say, Manchester City is a team and they should play to the strengths of the team instead of just winning because of one player.
I think Pep Guardiola understands very well how to play Haaland. He doesn't have to score every game, but Haaland is a real threat to goalkeepers and defenders alike. Haaland was the top scorer of the Champions League last season, he is also the top scorer of the Premier League, that is the best record for his first season.
Criticism, praise is a very common thing in football, all players must have felt it whether it comes from management, supporters or from other parties.
Decreasing and increasing the performance of a player is also a very natural thing, we don't always see the best game from players in every match, not just Haaland.
The role of the striker in my opinion has been misunderstood over the years, yes many people think the striker must always score goals. In fact, there are other roles that must be played, for example opening up space for teammates or other things. It doesn't have to be scoring goals, the role of helping colleagues to score goals is also a role that a striker must play.
