Haaland admits he hasn’t been ‘good enough’ as Man City fall to Aston Villa | OneFootball

Erling Haaland gave an honest assessment of his recent poor form after Man City were beaten 2-0 away by Aston Villa on Saturday.

The Premier League champions have now won just one of their last 12 games in all competitions as Jhon Duran and Morgan Rogers both scored to secure victory at Villa Park.

Haaland remains the joint-top scorer in the top flight, but has found the net just three times in his last 12 league appearances.

Asked what was said in the dressing room after the game, the Norwegian told TNT Sports: “It’s a couple of minutes since the game, so not a lot. But of course we are disappointed, it’s not good enough. It’s not good enough from me.”

He added: “[Aston Villa] are good players, it’s difficult to come here but we’re Man City we should be out there. We have to continue, we have to believe and we have to keep working hard.

“We have to continue. First I’m looking at myself, I haven’t been doing things good enough, I haven’t been scoring my chances. I have to do better, I haven’t been good enough.”

Haaland admitted that confidence levels in the Man City squad are “not the best” as they continue to flounder.

“We know how important confidence is and you can see that it affects every human being,” he said. “That is how it is, we have to continue and stay positive even though it is difficult.”

The result means Aston Villa have leapfrogged Man City to go fifth in the Premier League table with 28 points from 17 games this season. Next up for the Citizens is a home game against Everton on Boxing Day.
