To be fair, five of those ten goals came from one game. My opinion isn't based on whatever the media says. He was poor versus Arsenal, Newcastle, and Liverpool, and up until his last-minute goal versus United, he was struggling to get involved in that game, too. He's world-class and is held to a higher standard than everyone else on the team, bar maybe Rodri or Kevin.Again, what is this poor form?

We'll agree to disagree. I think he's been far from his best of late.And 4 of them came in his previous 5 league games. So that's poor form?
Give it a rest. Enjoy him while we have him and stop moaningTo be fair, five of those ten goals came from one game. My opinion isn't based on whatever the media says.

He was playing against teams and defenders whose game plan was to stop him at all costs though. With the refs letting these CH's get away with fouling him most of the time, it makes it tough.He was poor versus Arsenal, Newcastle, and Liverpool, and up until his last-minute goal versus United, he was struggling to get involved in that game, too
Who are you ?This isn't an ideal game for Haaland,
I had a chuckle when the guy asked about PSR. Pep’s body language was great. You knew that he was going to say what he said.You've just got to love the way Pep plays the media. He just, as this extract says, 'flat bats' them away. They're just like irritating little mosquitoes aren't they?
BBC website:
'Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola ended his news conference by flat-batting a number of questions - about the hectic fixture schedule and potential changes in how the Premier League will deal with punishments for breaking its profit and sustainability rules.
On PSR he said: "I don't have opinion. What they decide is fine for me. I don't have an opinion."
On the fixture schedule: "We are used to it. For many years it happened that way. We take one game at a time and don't give up. We are used to playing every three days, every month. It's not that we are new to European competition. Players know it and they handle it, for the large part. They each know what they have to do.
"We play [Crystal Palace] at 12.30pm on a Saturday - perfect, more time to the next game against Real Madrid for us to recover. We then play Saturday in the FA Cup - OK, it's not fair but we are going to do it."'
You tell 'em King Pep, you tell 'em. :-)
