Did you also realise that Manchester City would suffer without De Bruyne? If we look at Haaland's performance this season, he did not have many opportunities to score goals because there is no player who will assist him with a ball like DE Bruyne. De Bruyne is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League and he is also the one who used to support Haaland with a ball throughout last season. Even before I started mentioning that Haaland wasn't very good at attacking or marking their team's opponents, and that he couldn't even hold the ball and dribble before scoring, I started seeing that Haaland's inability to play well without any assistance was not from today.
I've heard rumours that Manchester City is interested in acquiring Toni Kroos from Real Madrid when his contract with the team expired in January. Did we think that would be successful? I don't think Real Madrid would let Kroos go since he is the best midfielder who always used to pass the ball to the front players of Real Madrid, and many of the forward players of Real Madrid will never forget Kroos because he truly helped them score goals. And to be honest, I think that's why Manchester City wants to sign him and even wants to pay him more than he currently makes with Real Madrid. However, now that I think about it, I think Real Madrid could use this chance to acquire one tougher player from Manchester City in exchange because they need one. I advise Real Madrid to acquire Haaland or Alvarez.
I noticed that Haaland's performance has changed since De Bruyne was injured. Haaland doesn't get good support from other players and that has kept him from scoring goals in some games, but I think Pep Guardiola has a reason why that happens.
Pep Guardiola has been asking Haaland to get involved in Manchester City's game instead of just waiting for a pass to score a goal. But because it doesn't benefit Haaland and Manchester City, I think Pep Guardiola will change his strategy and make Haaland the target man again in the next match. I think it will happen because Manchester City have lost 6 points in their last 2 matches.
