One Manchester City player had a disappointing performance in his recent international match, raising concerns ahead of the upcoming Premier League game against Arsenal. Erling Haaland, who played in Norway’s 2-1 defeat to the Czech Republic, failed to impress during the game. He had 31 touches, completed 13 out of 18 passes, lost possession 11 times, and only managed to get one shot on target out of three attempts. This lackluster performance earned him a low match rating of 6.3/10 and made him the lowest-rated player in the Norway team.

Haaland’s struggles in the international match come after failing to score in City’s previous game against Newcastle United and not registering a shot on target. This performance could be a cause for concern for Pep Guardiola, especially with a crucial match against Arsenal on the horizon. Haaland will have another chance to prove himself in Norway’s upcoming friendly against Slovakia. If he can find the back of the net and avoid injury issues, it could boost his confidence and preparation for the game against Arsenal.

As City prepares for the important Premier League showdown against Arsenal, Guardiola will be keeping a close eye on Haaland’s performance for Norway. The striker’s form could have a significant impact on City’s chances of success in the upcoming game. Ultimately, Haaland will need to step up his game and show his quality to ensure City can secure a positive result against Arsenal.
