Steve Cooper has warned Nottingham Forest cannot tie themselves “up in knots” thinking about how to stop Erling Haaland.
The Reds boss is well aware the Norwegian isn’t the only one his team will need to try to keep quiet when they travel to Manchester City tomorrow night. And he also wants his players to have an impact on the game themselves.
Haaland has certainly caught the eye so far this season, however. He has notched six goals in four Premier League games since his big-money move from Borussia Dortmund, including a hat-trick in Saturday’s 4-2 victory over Crystal Palace. Forest will come up against him just a few days after a Harry Kane brace saw them beaten 2-0 by Tottenham Hotspur at the City Ground on Sunday.
