Rodri predicts how Erling Haaland will change Man City tactics and gives striker new nickname
manchestereveningnews.co.ukRodri believes that Manchester City are ready-made to welcome Erling Haaland, but will have to change their system for the incoming striker.
City have operated without a recognised striker for the best part of two seasons, with Sergio Aguero injured for much of 2020/21, before he departed last summer and a failed attempt to sign Harry Kane left City without a 'number nine.'

Haaland will give City the focal point they have arguably lacked in the last two years, although they have secured back-to-back Premier League titles using a false nine.
