Never seen Aguero piss poor like today. Not a good result, now we have two games with those cheating twats and we are also behind them. Fuck.
A number of times last season, especially away from home, Aguero was anonymous like tonight. Not his best game but we didn't have as much of the ball in the final third for Silva and Nolito to do the little give and goes that have been a hallmark of our play so far.
A point here is not disaster. The group will be won and lost by the fixtures v Barca. As long as we qualify at the end of the day, is all that counts. Sounds daft but not winning has now taken the pressure off the spuds game on Sunday a little bit. Sometimes in football you play an opponent who raise their game to the occasion and for whatever reason if you are not at your best, like a number of our boys were tonight, then you don't win. To not get defeated is actually then a bonus
He had little service and got the assist for the Nolito goal
Exactly the service to Sergio was non existant.
Wouldn't agree with that. I think aguero still thinks he can do those jinking runs past 2 or 3 on the edge of the box. I don't think he's that player anymore, age and injuries a factor. What I did see first half is sterling put in 2 perfect balls into the corridor that aguero really should have been on the end of. Instead, he was hanging around the penalty spot.
For a lone striker, they were golden opportunities for goals and he wasn't on the end of them. For such a good fucking player, the fact he didn't take the chance on Stirling's second cross shows a stubbornness.
As I've said in other posts though, tonight just felt like an off night for all. We're playing every 3 days more or less right now. They can't all be on point forever.
