Manchester City really needs Haaland in his best form. He can achieve some wins for Manchester City, where he can be a deciding factor. His ability to score goals is unprecedented and Manchester City's players are well adviced to search him, to give him scoring attempts and Haaland will likely convert to goals for Manchester City, which Manchester City really needs in such a tight battle.
I believe Haaland will be a deciding factor for Premier League.

Manchester city needing haaland is something I can quiet agree with but agree that he will become the deciding factor is something I don't think is really applicable because Manchester city isn't a team the throws much dependence on a particular played even if we understand that the presence of certain key players means a lot to them as it influences their results but then they still try not to depend so much on such players.

So its still very possible Manchester city will perform well in his absence a typical example is with Kevin de brunye, he was injured a long time and yet Manchester city through his absence were able to still comfortably win games and they didn't have to wait for his return for them to be productive enough but then his return actually influenced their productivity and that's not in doubt because he's a key played and ofcourse does performs brilliantly when playing. Haaland isn't even a very creative played but more of an opportunist who knows how well to utilize opportunities.

Talking about creativity then we talk about the likes of Kevin the bruyne, fodden and and alvarea and sometimes doku, these guys do the creativity for haland to finish up, he's a good finisher a d always have a way around the goals so he's more of a goal scorer for the team but he's absolutely good at what he does and that's why he stands out and have that effect his absence creates for Manchester city.

Every player has their uniqueness and that's why they are bought to okay their role in the team in order to bout the team quality and achieve results. Erling Haaland is good in finishing, we all know that is his calling in football and he does it pretty well, he temporarily lost form after returning from injury, but I think he's back to full action now.. The team doesn't rely on him for defense, nor accurate square play, because its not his area of specialization. They expect him to convert goals and finish off well for them. Football is a craft, the craftier the the coach, the better the results. Having a lot of players isn't enough, but being able to manage them effectively to give good results is key. I love the way Guardiola uses his boys effectively that the absence of a player or two wouldn't mean lack of performance for the team.

In properly managing players, I think Pochettino its waking up now in the effective usage of his team of young players, most of them still exuding youthful exuberance in their their performance, he's discovered lately the impact of playing Palmer with Madueke upfront. It solidifies attack and provides chances for N. Jackson to convert the little he can. I think he's learned his lessons very late in the season and I hope his earlier mistakes doesn't cost him his job at the end of the season.
