Jamie Carragher has scotched talk that Erling Haaland has weakened Manchester City - but admitted that the Norwegian striker hasn't necessarily made Pep Guardiola's side any better, either.
Haaland made a storming start to life in the Premier League following his blockbuster summer switch from Borussia Dortmund and has already plundered 21 goals in just 17 league outings.
But with City struggling for form recently after winning just two of their last five league games, Haaland has been scrutinised after blanking in three consecutive matches. Some people have even gone as far as suggesting that City, who thrived without an orthodox striker last year, are struggling to work out how to adapt to life with an out-and-out No.9 and may have actually been better off without Haaland.
