Jack Grealish has hit out at the criticism faced at Erling Haaland after being asked whether the striker has 'made Manchester City worse' before their clash with Newcastle on Saturday.
The Norwegian powerhouse set such a high standard earlier in the campaign, having clocked 18 goals in his first 12 Premier League games since his big-money move from Borussia Dortmund. However, Haaland has since not been as prolific, striking 11 in his next 12.
That would be an impressive tally for anyone else, but Haaland is hitting numbers like no one has ever done in the Premier League before. Although the 22-year-old has been excellent, City haven't been as successful in terms of results. Pep Guardiola's side are eight points worse off this season as what they were after 25 matches last campaign.
