Recently, criticism has continued against Manchester City's "monster striker" Erling Holland in the English Premier League EPL.
Holland scored 36 goals in the EPL last season, breaking his personal record for most goals scored in a single season in the EPL history in his debut season. There is no doubt that he is the best striker in the league. However, he has shown sluggish performance this season. Compared to last season, he is right to show sluggish performance. Holland has scored 18 goals in the league this season.
Manchester United legend Roy Keane criticized Holland for his lackluster performance against Arsenal recently, saying, "Holland's performance was terrible. It was safe to regard Holland's performance as a League 2 fourth division player today."
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola responded by saying, "I don't agree with what Keane said. It's as if I told him I was a manager of the second or third division. Holland is the world's best striker. He helped us win the title last season. We didn't have many chances against Arsenal because of Holland."
Guardiola defended Holland well, but did he feel pressured by the criticism? Guardiola excluded Holland from the starting line-up at the 31st round of the EPL with Aston Villa on Thursday. Hollande did not make it to the ground at the last minute. Manchester City won the game 4-1 thanks to Phil Foden's hat trick. Then, critics would again say that Manchester City would be better without Hollande.
Hollande is receiving criticism and suspicion. However, he is still the top scorer in the EPL. He has never lost the top spot this season. The second-ranked group consists of three players: Dominic Solanke Bournemouth, Mohamed Salah Liverpool, and Ollie Watkins Aston Villa with 16 goals. This means that he is still the best striker in the EPL.
Britain's "Give Me Sports" ranked Holland first when it selected the EPL "Golden Boot Power Ranking" for the 2023-24 season.
The media outlet said, "Manchester City have Hollande who can lead them to glory. Hollande, of course, is not in his best condition this season. Hollande, once called a robot, has shown a lack of liquidity, missing several promising chances this season. Some people say that Manchester City is better without Hollande. However, Hollande is the most promising candidate for a golden boot. Hollande has 18 goals in 24 games. He is two goals ahead of Solanke and Salah." 토토사이트 순위
"In any game, Holland is still a disaster for the opposing team. To criticize Holland like this is insane," he stressed.
