Correct, you don't want your marksman out on the wing chasing down lost causes. You what him timing his 6 to 8 yard bursts in front of goal, just like Aguero did for his goal on Sunday.
To quote Cloughie, "You need 3 pianists and 7 piano shifters in a team". Although I think that has changed a bit in this era, Aguero is definitely one of the pianists.
Not sure if he's a pianist, but it's just how he plays. There are many types of strikers, and he's more like Torres to be honest in playing style. Not surprising as they're both Ahtletico formed.
Allow me to comment on this Aguero and Torres statement Jumanji: Aguero made his debut at the age of 15 in Club Atletico Independiente (my team), and he already played the way the world knows now. And they only played together for one year for Atletico Madrid (thank God he left that team!).
As regards his fitness, even though Kun is not at 100%, you will never see him do the work Tevez does. Sergio is much clever, always keeping the defenders busy where it hurts the most: near the box and all along the offside line. As time goes by and his fitness improves, you will start seeing him more involved in the play creation, covering more areas during a match. He has great passing skills and a great shot, so even though his most important attribute is being one hell of a striker, it is usual in him (when he's 100% fit) to go back to 3/4 of the pitch and take the ball there. The way I see it, he is trying to avoid wasting energy (which he now lacks as the clock ticks) not only because of his almost null pre-season physical work, but also because he knows the kind of players City has, players who can assist him very easily (Silva above all) near the box.
I'm glad to see Kun is doing great, you not only have a star player, you also have a great human resource there: fantastic guy, winner, and believe it or not, leader too. Enjoy him, here in Argentina we cannot enjoy our star players for too long in our league. I hope you'll get the Premier this year.
Cheers!
