One things for sure is that time and time again he's getting tactically found out in the Champions League, not so easy when you don't have the best player in the world and one of the best midfields in history behind him.

He doesn't get half the love Rashford or Salah get yet he is a much better and more consistent player than both of them. Its because city isn't a media darling to as big of an extent.

If anything, I think he’s underachieved goalscoring wise at Man City in any case given the attacking prowess that the team has possessed and continues to possess. Kane is both English and has been golden boot winner for 2 out of the last 3 PL seasons and at the World Cup. Salah scored more league goals last season than anyone else has in a 20 team English top flight. It’s easy to see why they’ve been praised more recently.

I dont think there is animosity from us to them in football terms, I love Messi and Aguero and their national team goes from the sublime to the ridiculous and is always like watching a soap opera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a game where Owen scored a hattrick but that must be years ago. Surprised we've not played them much as we seem to have played most of the other big nations regularly.

Maybe is a bit of needle somewhere between the FA's though Argentina play a few friendlies a year in Uk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I would lazily say aguero has struggled with fitness and injuries and plays about 75% of city's games and never feels as key to their success as say Kane or Henry or shearer City being city if they didn't have him would they be shit? No, would they have some other world class striker? Probably He doesn't feel as irreplaceable as some other top strikers, I also don't find him that exciting to watch, he's not an Henry or bergkamp for example, he'll get you goals but is anyone really going to be excited about watching him play? Not for me, same as say van nistlerooy or hasselbaink, proper goalscorer, bit of a boring player compared to others thoutlgh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also tried to replace him with Jesus but he doesnt seem up to it yet, also is not many better forwards in football and certainly not many available He is 7th on Premier League top scorer list and should be 3rd by the end of next season injuries permitting. Nobody with 100 goals or more has a better goals to game ratio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Aguero for me is the second best premier League striker behind henry How many south Americans have consistently delivered the goods in the prem, I can't think of many especially not strikers.

Tough choice that! I think I'd give Aguero the edge over Henry, Drogba worth a mention but I never really enjoyed watching him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
