#5 Aguero shows he still has a lot to offer
Trending
Having once again begun the game on the City bench, Aguero wouldn’t have expected to be called into action so early into the game. But an unfortunate injury to Guardiola’s man of the moment – Gabriel Jesus, meant that the Argentinian was back on the pitch and was the focal point of attack.
The Argentinian looked set to make up for lost time as he immediately threw himself into the game. In fact, the goal which doubled City’s lead was claimed by Aguero only for it to be ruled later as an own goal. But that doesn’t take anything away from the Argentine as he asserted himself in the game.
Aguero’s tenacity to get ahead of Mings for the second goal exacerbated the fact that he still has a lot to offer to this City side. With games against Huddersfield and Monaco coming up this month, Aguero will hope to start ahead of Jesus. As for the question of his future, that seems to be an issue for another day.
For the time being, Guardiola should appreciate the Argentine’s commitment. City are still on course for a treble, but in order to challenge on all fronts, the Spaniard needs his top most players in the squad to perform. One hopes that Guardiola will be able to utilise the Argentine skills that he possesses rather than crib about the skills he lacks.
