Win 3 games in each of the competitions we are in and it is enough for 2 (more) trophies and securing a CL qualifying place.
It is a shame, he was on his way to a few records however, and we are without doubt much more potent with him, goals or not.
Jesus has stepped in well before, and has never truly had a lengthy run of consistently starting, so this might be his time.
I do worry about Jesus in the CL despite his performance against Madrid. He just seems not to be confident enough in his own abilities in front of goal. Had Kun been bearing down on goal and Ramos made that soft challenge, I could only assume that wouldn't have deterred Aguero from trying to score regardless and those fine margins can make all the difference. Hopefully he develops that lethal side to his game to give us a real successor to Aguero.

He looked (and played) like Lennie Peters without his sunglasses on.He was a majestic Sight in full amble.

He does seem to be a little fragile these days. I’m not sure how many injuries he’s had in the last couple of years but it feels like he’s missed a lot of games.Injuries are now beginning to take their toll on Kun im afraid.
Although he is still one of the best strikers in the world we have clearly found the way to play without him. Just look at the last two games, 8 scored, none of them by Sergio.
He will always be one of the greatest players to wear the City shirt but we now have to start thinking long term and look for a replacement.

Not sure if it's more than a coincidence, but Aguero's recent goal ratio against our major rivals has been disappointing, when compared to previous seasons. There's also a general sense that despite his undoubted threat, City have tended to look quicker (Real Madrid Away, United LC Away) when he's been on the bench.
Undoubtedly, he'll continue to score goals,but it's worth noting that Thierry Henry was moving to New York Red Bulls at the age of 32. Ronaldo is probably the exception that proves the rule, but City need to be careful when assessing our forward options for future seasons.
In the meantime, let's just hope for a speedy recovery.

Think this is one for opinions. I don't see him look towards Foden until after he's touched the ball. Just reckon he could not have seen him as he was always looking in the other direction. Unless he has some sort of extended peripheral vision allowing him a 360 view. ;)no, he looks to foden who is in a way better spot and makes the pass, unselfish and great.
My point stands though, he should not be trying to pass the ball that way when he's a goalscorer and has got himself into a perfect position to shoot. Actually think less of him as a striker if that was what he did. But if people prefer strikers to pass up on shooting when only the keeper to beat in favour of guiding the ball with a fine angled deflection and avoiding the standing leg, fair enough.
opinions, sure, i can get behind that, but it's so obviously a pass for me, the look, angle of his boot. direction of kick, all scream pass. plus there was a defender directly in front of him, he made the right play, especially in view of how selfish mahrez and raz are this was as good as teamwork gets.Think this is one for opinions.
