After Manchester City’s draw against Liverpool, Chris Sutton criticized one of the players, claiming that he has “completely lost it.” Despite taking the lead at Anfield with a goal from John Stones, City faltered in the second half, allowing Liverpool to equalize with a penalty from Alexis Mac Allister.
Sutton specifically targeted Erling Haaland, suggesting that his performance was not up to par. In a conversation on Fantasy 606, Sutton defended his decision to not select Haaland in his Fantasy Football team, claiming that the player has “lost it” based on his weekend performance.
However, the criticism towards Haaland seems unjustified. Despite struggling to find opportunities due to Liverpool’s strong defense, Haaland was still effective when he did get on the ball. He managed to take on Virgil van Dijk and set up a chance for Jeremy Doku, narrowly missing a goal.
The £51m signing showed glimpses of his talent despite limited service, highlighting his potential impact on the game. It’s important to recognize that Haaland’s performance was hindered by the team’s overall struggle to maintain possession and create chances against a dominant Liverpool side.
Ultimately, while Sutton’s criticism may have been harsh, it overlooks the challenges faced by Haaland during the match. The Norwegian striker’s ability to make an impact with the few opportunities he had showcases his talent and potential value to Manchester City moving forward.
