Agüero is clearly a Manchester City legend though. He's arguably their greatest ever player.
Arguably? he shits on anyone else they've ever had.

Ask any city fan and they'll say David Silva is there best ever player. Had he of played against us they probably would have beat us.
That's harsh on Silva. Silva was their primary playmaker and ran the strings for them.On the pitch Yaya is the greatest for me, he just destroyed teams in a way Silva and Aguero can't
If Guardiola fecks off Aguero, he will then have 1 season to get it absolutely right.
What he did with Hart, and the subsequent hilarity of that Bravo fella, must've worn away a lot of faith in him throughout the squad and the fans.
Stones has been awful and was his man too.
If he fecks Aguero off, he'll then need to sort GK (again), new CB (again) and a first choice CF that can match Aguero over a whole season...
That could well be Jesus - but imagine the pressure of losing ALL Aguero's goals over a whole season...
I think he's done a really poor job there thus far, his decisions and squad management remind me of LvG.
4 starts in the PL, 4 goals, huge bargain for them at 27m
Despite the goal he was very, very poor today. Hopefully its him shaking off the rust.
Aguero was much worse, only gave him service twice and it should've been 2 goals if not for luck
Aguero tracked back, got in 4 or 5 tackles and had at least 20 more touches on the ball than Jesus. Aguero was superior to Jesus in every way today. Was literally a man vs a boy. He made his goal and stuck away the penalty too.
Jesus offered nothing bar the goal. Aguero put him through earlier too a really heavy touch let the ball run to the CB.
"Man vs boy" come on man, Aguero did nothing special today.
The problem with this season's Aguero is that he holds on to the ball too much. I noticed that on one counter attack he decided to shoot with both Sane and Sterling open and their body language was "Oh this selfish guy again"
I think if Jesus didn't get injured you guys would've been looking at a much better season, possibly beating Monaco. I'm not saying he's already better than Aguero but he has better chemistry with the young wingers and they feed off each other.
Im not so sure just look at Augero's goal record since Jesus injury. He has saved them on a few occasions and there is no guarantee Jesus could have done that.
I have only seen Jesus play a few times and most of those where cameo substitute appearances
It is obvious that he is very, very sharp in the penalty area and in that respect he reminds me of a Javier Hernandez type
What I haven't seen (not necessarily because it isnt there or because it won't develop in time) is his ability to lead the line

Aguero did nothing special and he still stood out far more than Jesus.
Long term Jesus is the future but yesterday a half fit Jesus was terrible, goal aside. Aguero was easily our most dangerous player despite his shooting boots been wayward the last couple of games. Yesterday Aguero had the ball 57 times to Jesus 27, of those 57 Aguero was only dispossesed 6 times. He had 41 successful passes to Jesus 19.
I'm not writing the lad off on one game of course nor am I saying in general its man vs boy but yesterday it very much looked that way.

Pep Guardiola doesn't want a conventional striker to lead the line. In his vertical position play, a #9 that stays to high up will lead to problems in the structure all over the pitch for Manchester City.
If Manchester City utilise a 4 3 3 then the striker needs to be part of the midfield diamond in order to maintain that numerical superiority in the midfield with is the essence of executing his game plan optimally. Jesus makes better decisions with his back to goal so the midfielders and wingers will be able to be brought into play quicker. City pin their opposition back in almost all their games so a #9 leading the line in a conventional sense is not needed.
Ay, fair enough if you think that. I think the whole team looked bad with that new formation Pep tried out, which cost you 3 points. Once the wingers came on, everyone looked better. Also remember Jesus hasn't touched a ball in over 3 months.
I don't get it. Kun is world class and has been one of if not the best strikers in the league for what, 5 seasons including this one and people are ready to throw him under a bus for some kid whose player 200 minutes of football. Kun is just clearly a superior player.
I feel tempted to bet on him winning the golden boot next season. Unless he gets another injury I can see him taking the league by storm next season.
I'm starting to think this way as well. He'll need to have a ridiculous goal to game ratio to make up for it if he's to be considered in the elite bracket.His general play outside the box isn't all that.
