Erling Haaland sends message to Pep Guardiola with admission on Man City form

City have lost three games in a row to continue a dismal run - with Haaland not finding the net in any of their recent defeats. Erling Haaland admitted his current form is not good enough as he backed Pep Guardiola to find a solution to Manchester City’s dismal run.
Halaand has scored just one goal in City’s last six games as the Premier League champions another defeat at Aston Villa on Saturday. Guardiola’s side have lost nine of their last 12 games in all competitions and Haaland said City’s players are suffering from a lack of confidence.
But the striker, who averaged a goal a game for City during his first two seasons at the club, said Guardiola is not the problem. “We have to continue working,” Haaland told TNT Sports after the 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa. “The first thing I am looking at is myself, I have not been doing things good enough, have not been scoring my chances and everything. I have to be better. There is a lot on me and I’ve not been good enough.
“We know how important confidence is. You can see it. It affects every human being [But] we have to continue. We have to stay positive even though it is difficult. We have to keep working hard.”. Halaand pointed to Guardiola’s record and said the Spaniard will find a way to turn City’s results around despite going through his worst run of results as a manager.
“He’s won the Premier League six times in seven years. We can never forget that,” Haaland said. “He will find the solutions. He’s been doing that every year, apart from one. We still believe in him and we have to work harder than ever right now.”.
