Couldn't find a general Aguero thread, but apologies if this should be in an older thread. Following from being in the pub watching the Hull game last night and overhearing a group of City fans stating that 'if he stays fit, Aguero will be top scorer this season' (talk about stating the obvious, but the big word there is IF!) I then stumble across this story on SkySports this morning: http://www.skysports.com/football/n...ep-guardiola-is-bringing-a-change-to-his-play
This got me thinking, obviously it goes without saying what a quality striker Sergio is, but his injury problems have always hampered him... Does this new style of pressing from the front create a problem for Pep (and subsequently Aguero) as it is key for the way Pep wants to play, but he also has to protect Sergio and keep him on the pitch for as many games as possible if they want to challenge on all fronts.
In the league in 2015/16 he played 30 games
In the league in 2014/15 he played 33 games
In the league in 2013/14 he played 23 games
So in the last 3 seasons before this current one and the new 'pressing from the front' style, he played a total of 86 games out of a possible 114 (roughly 75% of games, actually a bit higher than I'd have guessed).
Now I can't find his 'distance run/covered' stats anywhere (if anyone knows where I can see them that would be great).
I guess what I'm asking is, will this new style mean he is covering more ground/engaging in more sprints? And if so, would it be safe to assume this will see his stats of playing in 75% of games decrease, giving City less of a chance of the title?
