Who Can Score for Manchester City?…
Manchester City recently discovered their big problem on the field is as obvious as a giraffe in a dog park: they rely way too much on Erling Haaland for goals! In their defeat against Brighton, 7 of the 12 shots came from Haaland alone. While he’s like a one-man goal machine, City needs more players to chip in. Last season, despite Haaland’s 31 goals, only Phil Foden joined the double-digit club with 10. It’s like attending a potluck where only one person brings all the food—others must lend a hand; otherwise, the party becomes rather dull. Pep Guardiola wonders who will bring the goals—Foden, Omar Marmoush, or any of his other charges.
Savinho and Jeremy Doku are in the spotlight to score, with Doku trying to shake off a slow start with the determination of a cat chasing a laser pointer. Aiming for at least 10 goals this season, Doku is reevaluating his stats game while Tijjani Reijnders, fresh from his lucrative move, could also get on the goal chart. His impressive shots on the opening day against Wolves could promise more excitement. As City gears up to face Manchester United, the team surely hopes these potential goal-scorers can help ease their Haaland dependency and prevent them from being stranded like a ship without a rudder.
