Quite a lot of this is true. Some of Aguero's performances have been shocking. Last night in the first half he was utter cock. Then he scores two goals and what more can you ask?
Silva is one of my favourite ever players but something is missing and has been for a while. I think it's the slow tempo we've been playing that is making him struggle.
At the game, I wasn't even sure Ageuro got his 3rd touch until after half time. As soon as he was "allowed" to run the channels though, he was a different player. I don't know why we keep shackling our best players in stupid systems, I just don't.
As for Balotelli, I think I am erring towards just wanting shut of him - he is more unreliable than Dzeko and is liable to leaving us with only 10 men on the pitch. He was lucky to stay on the pitch last night when he booted the ball at the player who was "down"
