Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has warned his other players to step up their games and stop depending on Erling Haaland for goals.
Recall that the Norwegian international grabbed a brace as Man City defeated Everton 2-0 in Saturday’s Premier League game.
Speaking after the game, Guardiola in a chat with the club’s website, pointed to missed chances from Savinho, Jeremy Doku and Tijjani Reijnders as examples of opportunities that must be converted.

“He could have scored four or five at the end. He’s our key man. At the same time, we cannot do good things with just Erling. Our wingers, attacking midfielders and the other players have to make a step up. The chances we create are so clear. They have to score goals. Savinho had two (chances), Jeremy had two, Tijjani had another one and they have to score at that level.
“We have to score more. if we don’t create it’s fine but when we create we have to score. They know it. We talk about it for a long time. In the training sessions they are good at finishing so they have to do it.I don’t have doubts that when it is unlocked players will score. Omar is a top scorer, Savio, Oscar, Tijji and Phil are so good at scoring goals in those positions.
“When Rico plays in those positions he always arrives in the final third really good. We have to. We have Erling so it’s fine but we will be stronger. I want our team to be strong and this is what they have to do.”
