One of the most shocking performances from Aguero I've seen.
In fairness I only caught 35 minutes but he was shite.

I have no idea why he was playing so deep.
Rarely ever made runs forward.
This is not the Aguero I remember from his Atletico years.
City have had the problem for a long time that they have no decent partner/back-up to Agüero. This means two things; when he's injured they score a lot fewer goals and they cannot play 4-4-2. Iheanacho looks to be growing into a top level striker but he's not ready to be thrown into the starting XI upfront with Agüero against the top sides.
Also, they need a replacement (or two) for Kompany and getting the deadwood like Yaya out the door is vital.

Needs to be. If you can't get motivated for a game like that then something is clearly wrong.
After Mancini it was nice to have such a placid manager but it feels like it has gone way too far the other way. Watching the highlights with Mancini and Mourinho last time the teams played showed how much passion had been lost.
I see at least 7 players leaving City before next season starts.
Was he getting any service?

No but he wasn't exactly making any moves either. So static, they were basically standing still.
I haven't been following them this season so I thought they were a much better team that simply had a bad game in the first leg.

Last match he didn't get a single touch in the box did he?
Not long ago people were complaining about how he deserves PFA player of the year...

Focus on the CL all season, and then put in a performance like that. I wonder if they have anything left in the tank for the Arsenal and Swansea matches.
Maybe not POTY but the fact that he's never been in the Team of the Year in 5 years is pretty astounding.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

When did he win the second one?

No shots on target in last 5 CL games either.
didnt he win with real 2 years ago? 2013/2014
He joined Summer 2014.
Joined real 14/15.
lol he was playing on your team when u got blasted 0-4 by madrid
One of the most abject performances I've ever seen in a CL semi. They're literally one goal away from reaching their first ever final, and they're strolling around the pitch like it's a friendly. No pressure, no grit, no determination, no anything. Arsenal really should be beating them, because half the players and the manager have stopped caring because they know they're out of the door anyway. But it's Arsenal...
And I know Aguero is the second leading scorer in the premier league with the best goals-to-minutes ratio, but I've definitely noticed a decline in his general play. I'm not saying he's donkey Falcao or Rooney yet, but those injuries are starting to catch up to him. We'll finally see if Pep is a GOAT manager if he manages to turn City into a proper European force without a great base to start with. I know I risk going all Brentan, but I think he's going to have a rude awakening trying to sort out that sorry squad.

Naw bro, he didn't join until after the World Cup.
He was with Bayern, that year Alonso was still with us.

don't give me the heebiejeebies.
Shit luck I guess, but he plain didn't deserve it this year.
shocking, he'd better fucking kick his arse into gear because I'm not about finishing third after our best PL season ever
Being in with a shot of being top scorer this season despite being in an underachieving side and being plagued with injuries is a testament to his talent.
As for his exclusion from the PFA TOTY running, I think it's because that organisation likes to reward newcomers and overachievers. We expect Sergio Agüero to get 20+ goals every season. If Agüero's play has been scuppered in recent years it's because of injury and not being in a team deserving of his quality. He is the highest South American scorer in the history of the Premier League, and reached 100 goals faster than any player excluding Shearer.
Bloody idiots, I tell you!
It was funny how Pep built the whole team around him in the first season, and then he left :lol classic Kroos

That has to go down as one of the worst 2 legged affairs I've ever seen in the Champion's League. Just god awful.
The other semi-final was yesterday. Bayern won 2-1 but Atletico advanced on away goals. Champions League final is May 28th.

Come on now... Let's not go overboard here.
Talking about humility
remember that time when fraudiola announced bundesliga is over mid march. When he played his c-team and deliberately sabotaged the relegation campaign of other teams. That's what I call disrespectful.
And the next year he did the same when we thought he must have learned from his mistakes
He still thinks gladbach and augsburg are like those spanish fodder teams and thank fuck he kept loosing to them.
