Manchester City must attack their way out of their slump starting today against Tottenham | OneFootball

Manchester City face a crucial Premier League fixture today as they face off against Tottenham this evening. The game at the Etihad Stadium is a chance for Pep Guardiola’s side to get back on track after four consecutive defeats. Speaking before today’s massive match Erling Haaland believes his team must go on the attack to get out of their recent slump. When you look at City’s past four games you get the sense that City’s number 9 is right.

Speaking with mancity.com, Erling Haaland urged his team to be on the attack starting today against Tottenham. He believes that is the way that Manchester City will snap their four-game losing run. Speaking with mancity.com he said: “It’s an important game. It’s a tough game – they always are against Tottenham, but it’s also always nice games against them, and I’m looking forward to it. We have to be ready and perform at our best – better than we have been doing in our last games. We have to start winning games – it’s what Manchester City is about. Let’s attack.”

Erling Haaland is right. Manchester City must go on the attack to snap their recent funk, but they also must take their chances.

City’s top scorer raises a valid point. Manchester City must go on the attack and get at Ange Postecoglou’s side at the Etihad later today. Tottenham will enter today’s game without their two best defenders, so if City can get at the visitors, they may be able to exploit their depleted defence. But that will take a full team commitment to get at Spurs. Across City’s past four games, they haven’t been able to sustain pressure for 90 minutes. If they can, starting today, it may be their best opportunity to get at Ange Postecoglou’s side. But there is another factor that could determine today’s results.

Across City’s past four games, they have squandered a host of good chances. That was evident against Sporting CP and Brighton. So, while Haaland is right, Manchester City must go on the attack against Tottenham. They must convert their chances. Their failure to do so has cost them dearly in their past two defeats. Erling Haaland was one of the chief culprits in City’s 4-1 defeat to Sporting CP. So while City must go on the attack to get out of their recent slump they must also be more ruthless in front of goal. They don’t want to find themselves in a similar position as they have in their past two defeats.

Erling Haaland is right Manchester City must go on the attack starting later today against Tottenham. But they must also take their chances when they are presented. If they can do that they should quickly snap out of their recent losing run.
