It is true that in important matches such as the semifinals or the Champions League final last season, Erling Haaland seemed to disappear on the field and his role as the pillar of the team at that time was immediately replaced by other Manchester City players who had freer opportunities to score goals. I don't think it's a problem as long as the team can use every player available and actually I'm quite annoyed because Pep Guardiola very rarely changes his players in the second half. So when they should have had the opportunity to score goals through supersub players, they still relied on the players who were there from the early minutes.

It's not a problem at all because before Haaland came to City they had won the Premier League by more points than last season and despite Liverpool being only one point behind, their title looked undeniable. Haaland is an option (very cool option) but I think he is much less important than the KDB, so I'm looking forward to a more competitive season this time around.
Kelvin is more important in the Manchester City squad than Haaland. Manchester City is used to build the strength of their squad around a midfielder rather a striker. If you check some seasons ago it was Yaya Toure who was the strength of the team and presently it is KDB who is the strength of the team. Manchester City has been scoring high amount of goals without Haaland. Haaland is just an additional striking strength.

Both players are vital for the club both Erling Haaland and Kevin De Brunye but last season we saw both of them making good contribution for Manchester City as they both fought hard for the Champions League, Premier League and also England Cup.
But City can cope now without Kevin De Brunye but not without Erling Haaland who has been a special player for them ever since he joined working with Pep Guardiola. Tougher test tommorow for Manchester City and Newcastle United.
