Former top-flight player Steve Sidwell has expressed concerns that Manchester City’s star striker Erling Haaland has not looked like himself this season. Despite Haaland’s impressive record of 36 goals in 41 appearances, Sidwell believes the 23-year-old has not been as composed as he was in previous seasons. This comes as City are on the verge of potentially winning their fourth consecutive Premier League title and adding another FA Cup to their cabinet.
Haaland joined Manchester City in a £51m deal from Borussia Dortmund in 2022 and made an immediate impact, scoring 52 goals in his debut season. However, Sidwell points out that the Norwegian striker has faced criticism for his general play this season, possibly due to an ankle injury he suffered earlier in the campaign. Despite this, Haaland’s goal-scoring prowess has still made him one of the top players in Europe and a key asset for City as they aim to secure more silverware.
As City approach the final stages of the 2023/24 season, Haaland’s performance will be crucial in their pursuit of making history by winning a fourth consecutive Premier League title. While Sidwell and other pundits may have reservations about Haaland’s form this season, his goal-scoring record and importance to the team cannot be understated. City will be counting on Haaland to rediscover his best form as they aim to achieve their unprecedented success in the league and cup competitions.
