From the source
Creating chances hasn’t been an issue for Manchester City in their defeats to Aston Villa and Brighton. Taking them has been the problem. Enzo Maresca’s side created more than enough clear-cut opportunities to get something out of their past two Premier League matches.
However, it wasn’t to be. With Antoine Semenyo injured, Enzo Maresca’s squad does lack a consistent goalscorer outside of Erling Haaland. Speaking about Manchester City’s Champions League match against RB Leipzig, Enzo Maresca has acknowledged that his team cannot be solely reliant on Haaland’s goals.
His teammates need to chip in and they do have the ability to do so. Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca faced the media yesterday ahead of Manchester City’s Champions League clash with RB Leipzig.
