[Tugay One Cup]

I don't care what anyone says, he's not an out and out striker.

I must have been watching a different game because I saw him win a fair few aerial duels, but who am I to argue with a statistic site?

I think the fact that you're justifying Bony place in the team may mean you are. Apart from one nice panna, he was bad. And the issue is he's been consistenly bad without really one performance as any hope that he may turn good. Yaya's comments about Bony shows me he hasn't got the passion to succeed.

Yeah when Bony has a bad game it's he's just awful but when Kelechi is on for 30+ minutes doesn't have a shot or create a chance it's everyone else is shit and he's 19 but yet people want him to start?

You get where I am going with this? Like I said both Bony and Kelechi should be starting along side each other when Aguero is injured/unfit.

I'm not judging Bony on this game, because if I did, I would come to the conclusion that Sterling, Silva, KdB and Otamendi are crap which they're not. I'm juding him on his performances on the pitch for us which have been consistenly awful. With Kelechi, his performances are far better than Bony's and his movement and speed are seemingly alot more difficult for centre-halfs that Bony's static positioning. People want Kelechi to start because we've seen glimpses of brilliance and real attacking poise when we've seen little to nothing to get excited about for Bony.

Whether they start together is a tactical decision that Pellegrini must decide but from the evidence we have seen, Kelechi has to be above Bony in the peaking order.

How many times have you legitimately watched this person play 90 minutes?

He's already better player than Bony, and that's not an exaggeration. You've come up with an agenda and decided that everything now must meet it despite being total and utter bollocks.

...and how many of these games that you have seen him play in has he faced premier league level defenders?

You can't possibly say that he's "already better than Bony", the experiences of the two are totally different. He may look better against EDS defenders, or put his athleticism to good use against tired championship defenders in a league cup game, but does this mean that he is actually better? Stop talking total and utter bollocks.

In those game's where Bony has under performed though how many players around him have played well? This is initial my argument that having the likes of Bony or Kelechi on their own upfront offers us nothing in attack!
Both players possess the attributes that the other is lacking so playing them both together, they would compliment each other and look more comfortable especially against a 10 man tight defence, instead of playing it to them outside the area where their only option is to turn and shoot or pinging it in recklessly from the wings.

Assuming Agüero is still out, if Bony starts any of Iheanacho v Swansea it will be an absolute disgrace.

Neither KI or WB are adequate back ups for Aguero. We need another striker in January, there's a useful Bosnian lad at Roma apparently.
