Have you ever noticed some other weak points in the Manchester City team, such as the ones that have been enjoyed by the Manchester City team without Haaland? If Haaland is absent from the Manchester City team's squad, they lose by the biggest margin, the current defenders of the Manchester City team are quite hardworking but need more experienced players.
But the attack department is not that effective. So the defenders and the coach and the attack department of the Manchester City team need to be more careful. If every player in the whole team is experienced, then they will be able to perform more advantageously this season.
Manchester city's predicament at the moment is weigh beyond anything caused by the absence of Erling Haaland in any match. In previous season City had played exceptionally without Haaland's and this I could vividly recall last season when Haaland went on injury and was absent for few matches but City managed to win all their games before he could recover.
I think think Manchester city team has some players that are no more productive anymore and should be dropped next season, more like an overhauling in almost all positions, it's only by this City can come back strong next season.
