Aguero injured

It's no problem we've plenty of other options, we've Jesus erm Jesus and Jesus. More than any other squad in the prem, no worries.
 
So as rotation goes we cannot rely on Gabby 3 days a week when fixtures get congested so who moves central upfront? Sterling? Or maybe Mahrez? Or could we see a Spain esq formation like they played years ago with no striker and just wingers and midfielders pushed higher up?

Hasnt torres been known to play CF? Plus he's a rather big unit for a winger...

Pep would play 10 midfielders
 
It is a certainty that Sergio Aguero will get another injury if not more than one. We can't rely on Jesus to always be available to fill in for Sergio. Pep must go out and get another striker. This one h as to be a finished article.

We need 3 strikers in the first team squad. What we don't need is a first team squad that is made up of mainly midfielders. There has to be a striker out there that would fit the bill. To me Pep only seems to be interested in players who play as a midfielder.

Here's the problem.

You aren't looking for a debate. When someone wades into a thread thinking they know better than City, than every club in Spain, than all the worldwide elite athletes that fly from all over the world to go to Cugat's practice every week, they aren't looking for a debate.

When someone knows that what they're saying is so fucking baseless, and they have nothing to back it up whatsoever, actually engaging in a conversation is impossible. The arrogance to assume you, a fucking nobody with no experience in the field, know better is insurmountable.

KDB's injury history is not a fact that proves Cugat is a bad surgeon, not just because he didn't get fucking surgery! He went to Barcelona to undergo tests to see if he needed surgery, he didn't and flew home. So that you're trying to use that in an attempt to prove Cugat is shit shows you're beyond help. I did think he got surgery and admitted i was wrong, unlike you, who after going on a lecture about "facts" then claimed you always knew he hadn't had surgery despite posting earlier that he had, and had to back track when I quoted your lie back to you.

If you were really interested in facts, you'd have mentioned things like Christian Fink, Sané's surgeon, has also operated on Corentin Tolisso, a player who Bayern fans will tell you never recovered from it. He also operated half a dozen times on Marco Reus who keeps getting reinjured. Because that just happens sometimes.

He's also done 5 surgeries on Kingsley Coman, who keeps rupturing the same ligaments.

Turns out there isn't a mythical super-surgeon in Innsbruck who has a perfect record and all his patients come back better than ever, and if there was, I can guarantee City would be using him.




The reason I said you're a fucking clown is not because you disagree with me, but because you jumped in, said something obviously stupid, and then dodged every attempt to get you to answer the simple question put to you by multiple users - "Who are you to question Cugat's surgical ability?".

A question you still haven't answered because we all know the answer is you don't have a clue.

And that is the end of the conversation.

Maybe you should come with real facts.

Christian Fink is a knee surgeon - specialised on ACLs - Coman did not have problems with his knees but with his spine and never was there. Fink is the knee surgeon mainly of alpine skiing teams - the austrian and German ski team go there but also Lindsey Vonn or Aksel Lund Svindal, but also different footballers from Germany and Italy (Chiellini).

Tolisso had an ACL. After his ACL and recovery he missed only one match because of problems with his knee - He missed because of muscle problems and had a spine surgery in April 2020. Different body parts. Tolisso's problems are that he does not get any constant run of matches - last season we had Thiago, Kimmich and Goretzka for 2 starting places in defensive midfield.

Love Aguero should go down as one of the all time great strikers to have played in England, but he is prone to lengthy periods out and has been the whole time he has been with out(which makes his goal tally even more impressive)and having only one other striker is always a risk, I hope Delap is able to step it up, but its alot to ask a 17 year old.

Delap looks very capable of doing a job, or at least I don't think that having him as plan C would be a bad option.

Unfortunately I seriously doubt that we will get to see him in action given our track record with blooding youth players (overall).

Given that we have three games over the next seven days and the first of them isn't until Monday I would be shocked if we don't lean on the youth team quite a lot on Thursday night, but we will see Pep seems to enjoy not doing the obvious!

I'd like to think we would, but it's pretty rare that we play 2 or more youth players in any game.

I just hope that, given the packed schedule, that even if youth are not given a chance from the start we will see them brought on much earlier than usual if we are 3 or more goals to the good. This could be vital as the season progresses.
 
Finding an availble striker is easier said than done. This season is make do and mend with the current lot.
 
Sadly this is it for Sergio, who knows how many matches we'll get out of him this season and how prolific will he still be?. We have to try and get another striker in now even if it's on loan to ease the burden on Jesus. I disagree with Pep that Sterling or Torres can play in that position, not sure Torres has ever played as a striker and Raheem doesn't look comfortable there. 120m bid for Kane might see Spurs accept, what a statement that would be.
