More generally, I think this is an important point too.
We have failed to score enough goals since October and obviously our strikers must carry part of this burden. However, the midfielders/creators must also ask themselves if they're doing enough. The answer is no. We've created relatively few clear chances in the 720 minutes since the QPR.

he doesn't have the presence of Carlos.
It's not a criticism, it just makes it more difficult when we play through the middle, as Carlos was always good at bullying defenders and shrugging them off, Kun's much more a put me through or get it out wide and fire it in for me kind of striker, I think Carlos would have been better away for us this season because of that, shame he fucked it up, hope he can do a job now he's back.

Tevez is a unique. I think that the more Ageuro gets used to the Prem the better he will adapt to the physical side of the game.
Funnily enough, I think he would have benefited from working with Tevez, not neccessarily on the pitch but in training to make him more street-wise about the Prem.
In a year's time Aguero will have a bit more bite and presence about him.

Aguero's graft has got us to this point. He does so much more off of the ball that armchair fans can't see. He consistently stretches the backline, pulls defenders out of place. He creates more space than any other player on the field bar Y. Toure.
Carlos is very much a bulldog. Together they would be quite a tandem. Especially with a midfield as balanced as ours. With Argentina their issue wasn't so much their partnership but the 8 other field players and the tactics employed by Maradona.

This, his workrate off the ball, along with Yaya and Silva is something you only appreciate by being at the game. He will be even better in his second season, just like Yaya and Silva have been.
