Ben Foster believes that one Manchester City player, Erling Haaland, doesn’t need to be world-class to be effective for the team. With only four games left in the season, City are in contention for another league title, with Haaland playing a significant role in their success. Despite some criticism of his general play outside of the penalty box, Foster emphasizes the importance of Haaland’s ability to score goals.
Since joining Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund, Haaland has scored 84 goals in 93 games, with 21 goals in 27 Premier League appearances this season. He has one of the highest rates of shots on target in the league, demonstrating his effectiveness as a goal scorer. Foster’s comments suggest that as long as Haaland continues to find the back of the net, he doesn’t need to be elite in every aspect of the game.
