If not Pep then a City team managed by any manager would face the same problem. It's one that we struggled with with Pellers as well. It's a nut we will have to crack regardless of who the manager is.

I agree, and indeed I think Pep is better qualified than anyone to see it through. However, my personal opinion is that whoever is manager it will result in too many dropped points to win the league

As far as I am aware, Sergio does still hold that record but the issue is whether or not his effectiveness is declining? His conversion rate dropped markedly last season; it could be a blip, it could be a trend. All in all, he was not as effective as Sanchez last season, whether that convinces you of anything is entirely up to you.

I just think analyzing stats without considering the. cirumstances, tells you very little. Like watching YouTube higlights and not actually watching games. How many starts; how many minutes; which were the opponents; was he carrying a knock; had he just returned from international duty; was he match sharp after a ban or injury? Without considering all these things, stats are of little value.

Sergio has blown hot and cold all his time here at City, with barren patches (for him) followed by goal fests. What I do know is that I have watched both players over several years and I'd take Aguero over Sanchez every day of the week.

I'd be interested to see how Sanchez conversion rate every other season in his career, compares to last season.

The first paragraph you're correct and what you're talking about is sample size. We have a massive one with Aguero. it tells us he isn't effective at distribution, coming up to receive the ball (build up), and creating chances for others. Essentially the anti guardiola CF and my opinion ineffective in a single striker system. Sanchez is the total opposite. Jesus is basically the middle and people seem too up in arms about his performances so far if you ask me.

In a vacuum I'd take Aguero but not in this system. Sanchez fits it perfectly.

Eh? Over the last dozen games (end of last season and start of this) he's done all the things you claim he's poor at brilliantly. It's his goal scoring that has let him down and led to all the cries to drop him.
