Not doing enough by far.
Time he stepped up and started to make things happen.
That’s never going to be who he is.
He is an old school big lad up top type striker, he’s never going to drop back.
That’s fine if your midfield are on fire, I.e when Kev is up for it but otherwise he’s on his own doing fuck all feeding off scraps.
Aguero was a false 9 compared to big Earl.

He should be coming deep when it’s clear the team is struggling to attack. Hold up the ball and link in the wingers.That’s never going to be who he is.

More runs needed to the near post aswell. We very rarely get the ball deep to him so it’s pointless.
A goal poacher who is not getting any attempts at goal is not much use to us in this situation.
Maybe we should go false 9 again.

Hes literally stood there watching the fucking car crash behind him. Midfielders going sideways and backwards, I don't think I even saw Gundogan lift his head up once when he had the ball.

With who? A perma-crocked Kev, Gundogan in his zimmerframe or a mysteriously totally absent Foden?

Anyone who can stay fit at this point -:)With who? A perma-crocked Kev, Gundogan in his zimmerframe or a mysteriously totally absent Foden?
It’s only a suggestion mate. Won’t happen as we need his goals.

It’s been mentioned on here but Aguero played in some poor city teams (14/15) for example but still dragged city through games. Erling doesn’t do that. He should be the guy who scores us a goal when we’re not playing well and get us through tough moments. Currently he’s scoring goals mainly in games when we’re playing well and dominating.

nope it is not true currently team was built around Kev.The team is literally built around him. We need to unbuild the team from around him.
If you watched anything he played before he joined City then you see the team did not build around him. He needs pacy fullbacks who can cross. The exact opposite of what we have now.
True but that’s because as an actual footballer he’s not in the same class as AgueroIt’s been mentioned on here but Aguero played in some poor city teams (14/15) for example but still dragged city through games.
