"Erling knows we need his goals. We need to create more chances for him too, but he had three or four good chances early in the first half and didn't score. But it's not just about him. It's about all the players, the vibes they feel. But he will be back. Erling will be back and maybe soon too."
"Haaland still leads the race for the Premier League Golden Boot this season with 22 goals -- four more than Brentford's Igor Thiago -- but he has now gone a month without a goal in all competitions. But his month-long drought is not a mere blip. If you zoom out to assess the bigger picture, the Norway international has now managed just three goals in his last 12 league games and two of those were penalties."
Manchester City drew 1-1 with West Ham United, suffering a significant blow to their Premier League title hopes as Arsenal moved 10 points clear with a victory over Everton. Erling Haaland, despite facing his favorite opponent against whom he has scored 11 goals previously, delivered one of his worst performances of the season, failing to convert three or four early chances. The 25-year-old has now gone a month without scoring in all competitions and managed only three goals in his last 12 league matches, with two being penalties. Manager Pep Guardiola acknowledged the need for more chances and Haaland's return to form. Despite leading the Golden Boot race with 22 goals, Haaland's worst career slump appears to have derailed City's title ambitions.
