Former Norway coach Nils Johan Semb believes Erling Haaland is missing Kevin de Bruyne at Manchester City.
Haaland has been struggling for goals just as De Bruyne has been hit by a form slump.
Semb, after City's defeat at Tottenham, told Viaplay: "He must have more space players around him. Kevin De Bruyne has to play, because then Haaland is better. It will be very interesting to see what (Pep) Guardiola does going forward."
Former Norway winger Pl Andr Helland also said: "He is still the top scorer after the World Cup break. It is connected to the fact that City has been weaker than usual, a typical dip in form collectively and with individual players who will feed him.
"He is used too little. There were many opportunities to play him, especially in the 1st half. He will suffer from a difficult City."
