It seemed that Man City would win resoundingly on Bournemouth’s field. Accordingly, The Citizens have been unbeaten in 13 consecutive encounters with the home team.
The reality on the field shows the opposite situation. The defending champion faced many difficulties and almost let Bournemouth win the draw.
In case Man City loses points, Erling Haaland is the first player to be criticized. The Norwegian star played poorly all match and missed many good opportunities.
Sofascore statistics show that the striker born in 2000 wasted 3 opportunities to score ten goals. Hit the target once, lost the ball 8 times and received the lowest score of the match (5.7 points).
It can be seen that Erling Haaland has still not been able to regain his best form after injury. After 7 matches since his recovery, the former Dortmund star has only scored 3 more goals/7 matches.
The Man City striker has missed more than 20 good opportunities this season, the highest in Europe. Erling Haaland clearly needs to learn how to conserve the number of situations facing the opponent’s goalkeeper.
Because, Man City is in a position to chase Liverpool and its ambition to defend the C1 Cup throne. Erling Haaland’s inability to regain form will greatly affect this task.
