City are a better team with Haaland in it. His record so far this season tells you that.
We have become so cautious it's untrue. There's no point just having possession if it entails Ake passing to Akanji and Walker. They aren't able to pick out that killer pass.
I've said it before but we rarely have a game where one player has a stinker. We either play brilliantly or really poor. When were poor, we basically get no service into Haaland and it's not his game to tear arse about the pitch chasing the ball down.
We simply need to be prepared to play the ball into him early with the risk we lose the ball. Personally I'd be happy to do this simply to try to entice the opposition out so we can counter them.
I think Pep will crack this problem and when he does we will be unstoppable. Again.
