Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola described Erling Haaland's role as the most difficult position on the planet. The striker has faced scrutiny regarding his recent form in front of goal for the Premier League side. Guardiola stated that the Norwegian international requires more support from his teammates to create scoring opportunities, per Sky Sports.
Manchester City currently sit in second place in the Premier League table behind leaders Liverpool. Haaland remains the leading scorer for the club this season despite the recent lack of goals. The manager emphasised that the responsibility for creating chances lies with the entire team rather than the individual forward, according to reports from The Guardian.
Haaland has scored 18 league goals during the current 2025-26 campaign. City continue their title defence with an upcoming fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion. Guardiola maintains confidence in the striker's ability to return to consistent scoring form as the season reaches its final stages, per official club communications.
