And if not for Richards' desperate attempt to cut it out?
The ball may not have ended up in the net. Because of Richards, it did.

It also may well have ended up in the net had Richards left it as it was in Aguero's path. The point is it was a good weighted through ball in behind their defence which ultimately led to a goal.
That's pretty fair. He's more than likely playing for his City future till May.Not going to lie, I was rather pleased when we got him. Had a great season a couple of years ago. I was expecting a Drogba-esque hitman,one chance one goal, supremely lethal infront of goal. As soon as he got a sniff, BANG!!
It is safe to say I have been underwhelmed thus far.
I know it will sound like 'in hindsight' but I'll never understand why we bought Bony in the first place. The powers must have expected a lot more than we've seen. He is the sort of player that needs to play in a one up front formation and play every week - he's never going to get that with us, nor was he ever going to but for someone else I think he'd do an excellent job. Shame really. Nevertheless I'll continue to hope he plays his part in the run-in, whether it be with assists or goals.
He's a complete misfit, like you say a good player in his own right, but an awful signing for this team.He was 100% signed with 442 in mind. The problem was Pellegrini then started showing a huge amount of loyalty, and by the time Bony was back from AFCON and fully fit we switched to a 4231, he's never really had a run of games in the side.
He's not shit, he's a very good player, unfortunately we won't see the best of him here. At West Ham for example he'll score 25 goals a season.
