Throughout the game, Haaland failed to have a shot on goal or a touch in the Tottenham box as he struggled to make an impression against a compact Spurs team, prompting Carragher to say that the Norwegian’s style of play does not complement the rest of the group or Guardiola.

“He may have actually picked the wrong club to get the best out of him,” Carragher told Sky Sports after City’s defeat to Spurs. “You are laughing but we are not seeing everything from Erling Haaland at Manchester City. Not because of Erling Haaland.

“We can say they are a different team, but they have scored exactly the same amount of goals. He has scored 25 Premier League goals but Man City as a team have scored the same amount of goals, but they have conceded more.

“It’s far easier to counter-attack them as well. They are a different team and a lesser team with Erling Haaland, but again it’s not his fault. Manchester City as a team will not play end-to-end football, it’s not Pep Guardiola’s way.

“His players don’t have the energy, or the power or pace to play end-to-end, they build up slowly and they push the opposition back to the edge of the box and they play from there, when they lose it they win it back quickly. They keep people penned in.JAMB Result

“Haaland will still score 25 league goals and a lot of those is coming from a cross that you are putting in. But we are not seeing the full package of what this player can do because of the team that he has actually gone to.”
