Will Erling Haaland be a goal machine?

It seems hard to imagine he won’t score a lot of goals, however, the potential for a less-than-stellar season is definitely there. Against Liverpool on Sunday he was clearly unfit, lumbered around, took only 16 touches, won zero headers, made no interceptions or dribbles and completed just seven passes, missing two sitters. More worrying than that was the fact City looked far a more ordinary, unsophisticated and predictable side playing with a big man up top. That being said, Pep Guardiola relishes coaching players to work in his teams. Whether Haaland can learn quickly will determine how well the season goes for him.
