Jamie Carragher has said that Erling Haaland 'may have picked the wrong club' in a debate about the forward's impact on the Manchester City side.
Debate raged after City's 1-0 loss at Tottenham regarding the Norwegian's effect on the team, with Carragher arguing that they have become a 'lesser team' this season following the arrival of a recognised number nine in the shape of Haaland.
Carragher made the point that while Haaland himself has scored 25 goals, City have scored the same number this season - and conceded more. After 21 games last season, City had scored 53 and conceded 13, this year they have scored the same number but conceded 21.
'I've felt this season when he's scored his goals, I think we've only seen 60 per cent of Haaland. You think of that goal he scored on the first game of the season against West Ham, the space in behind, he makes that run,' he said on Sky Sports.
'I know that's not there that often with the way City play. He's come from a league and Borussia Dortmund where it's a counter-attacking league and it's end to end and you see that blistering pace. You don't see it. He may have actually picked the wrong club to actually get the best out of him.
