Man City's terrible run of form continued at Villa Park
Pep Guardiola disagreed with Erling Haaland's claim after Manchester City's latest loss on Saturday. The Premier League champions lost 2-1 to Aston Villa in the day's early kick-off.
The 24-year-old has been unable to lift City out of their recent rut and he chose to blame himself after the Villa defeat, saying he needed to do more and be more clinical to help his team-mates get back into their groove.READ MORE: Roberto Lopes’ ‘best signing’ message as Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley outlines ambitions
Haaland woes up front come despite him smashing in 108 goals in 122 games for the reigning Premier League champions, which has seen him collect the golden boot in each of the last two seasons. But Guardiola dismissed Haaland's comments despite his honest and humble admission. The Spaniard insisted City would be a worse team without the forward and called on his team-mates to give him better openings and deliveries to get him back to his goalscoring best.
