#1 Is this the beginning of the end for Sergio Aguero's Manchester City career?

For the second game in succession, Sergio Aguero found himself on the bench instead of his usual spot on the starting line-up, with Pep Guardiola opting to play newly signed Gabriel Jesus instead. With the teenage Brazilian scoring twice on the night, including a late winner– having scored against West Ham last time out – Guardiola would perhaps feel his decision was vindicated as well.
This however increases the question marks raised over the future of City’s third highest all-time goal scorer, dating back to the clandestine meeting between the Argentine, his agent and manager immediately after the arrival of Jesus at the club.
Aguero showed no signs of worry, smiling his way through the long period on the bench, but will definitely be asking himself where he stands in the future plans of his manager. Guardiola on his part has claimed he could just as well play the Brazilian and Argentine up front together, but those could merely be plasters over the cracks appearing in the wall.
