Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has taken the blame for Erling Haaland's form over the last few weeks.
The Norwegian striker has failed to score in his last three Premier League appearances, while he has scored once in six matches across all competitions.
Haaland recently revealed that he needs to improve, however Guardiola has now admitted that he needs to use the two-time Golden Boot winner better.

"It's about us, it's not just about one playing. When Erling was so prolific, it was about us, the team," Guardiola told reporters, as per Goal.
"Erling is so important for us and will be so important for us. We need to use him better.
"The reason why is this one and this one and this one. It is about us, about everyone. The guys are running more than ever. Many little details and big details make us not as good as we were."
City will aim to bounce back aaginst Everton on Boxing Day, but Guardiola feels the clash will be a tricky one.
"They are not the perfect opponent. It is about us to come back to our best. It will take time. We have to get results as quickly as possible," he added.
"We are facing Everton and they are in a good moment, their results and performances show it."
