Fans criticise Haaland as Man City beat Newcastle to reach Carabao Cup final
A report from Goal says Manchester City beat Newcastle 5-1 in the Carabao Cup semi-final to set up a final against Arsenal after Omar Marmoush scored twice and Tijjani Reijnders also found the net. Erling Haaland started on the bench and came on in the second half but did not add to his tally.
Fans on social media criticised Haaland, sharing posts such as "Our press is better without Haaland. Big issue.", "see how better we play across the lines without that norwegian donkey. haaland you will pay for your crimes." and "Idk how i feel about Haaland anymore tbh love the dude but i feel like we play so much better without him." Guardiola addressed Haaland's recent lack of goals, saying: "God bless that we have Erling in our team right now and all of the season.
We are fortunate to have him and without him we would not be in the position we are in now. He brings a lot and is getting better at many, many things. There are a lot of games and it is an incredible period for games.
