Manchester City's recent performance has been worrying, following the defeat against Aston Villa, the team has lost 9 of their last 12 matches. In this wave of consecutive defeats, the performance of the striker Einin Hylandt is particularly low, not only no income, but also in the attacking end of the little progress. After the game, the Norwegian scorer also courageous to take responsibility, bluntly said "Manchester City's defeat, is my fault".
In consecutive matches against Juventus, Manchester United and Aston Villa, Xalante played a total of 270 minutes, but delivered 0 goals, 0 assists and 0 key passes. In the three games, he had just one shot on goal, totaled 19 passes, and averaged just six touches, making him virtually invisible on the field.
Charlatan reflected after the game, "First of all, I have to reflect on my own performance, which was clearly not good enough. I failed to score when it mattered and we couldn't control the tempo of the game to win it. I have to work harder and need to improve in all areas." Coach Pep Guardiola, however, gave a different assessment, "I don't agree with Xalante, City would be worse off without him. But I appreciate his attitude, it's the key for the team to get out of the rut."
