Former Manchester City defender Danny Mills was the latest to express his concern. He’s said that the club is over-reliant on striker Erling Haaland for goals. Mills is a big believer that Haaland is the missing talisman for that squad. He’s adamant that everyone else needs to raise their level of play and production and get into the scoring column.
With his record-setting goal-scoring in Manchester City so far, Haaland has taken the football world by storm. His artistry in the final third paired with that killer instinct to find the net consistently has been a key factor in the team’s performance. Mills cautioned that putting all your eggs in one basket with one player can be more harmful than helpful to the team’s long-term success.
As Mills said, “The rest have to come to the table. He underlined the point that other players in the Manchester City squad need to start pulling their weight and take the goal scoring burden off his shoulders. Mills is concerned that with fewer players involved, City’s offense might become easier to read. This failure to develop their variety could allow opponents to more easily defend against them.
The ex-footballer understood the importance of Haaland. He labelled him an unsung hero, underlining that his objectives are profoundly important for Manchester City. He noted that the still increasing reliance on Haaland would lay the team’s vulnerabilities bare, should the Norwegian miss time. Mills underscored the need for depth in goal-scoring options, noting that Manchester City cannot afford to be one-dimensional in their approach.
Mills’ remarks have been made with the backdrop of Manchester City’s harsh battle on all fronts domestically and in Europe. The pressure is not on just Haaland, but the entire team to perform at a high level from game to game. He’s confident that Haaland will produce the spectacular. The team’s success isn’t defined by one person; it’s based on teamplay and what every member can bring to the table.
