Wenger: Man City have changed their playing style with Haaland

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger feels Manchester City have changed their style of play with Erling Haaland added this season.

Wenger feels City are playing too much through the Norwegian.

"To say that City with Haaland is worse is using a somewhat strong word," he said.

"Let's say that Haaland makes Manchester City a different team. How is it different? Now, with Haaland, they get the ball back less quickly and when they get it back, they play much faster to find him.

“Before at City they had more patience when they had possession, they exchanged positions, their passes were shorter and technically different. Right now they are focused on serving Haaland with more lateral crosses or deep passes."
