Bony needs other players to do the running for him. Imo he's better with the back towards the goal, sucking the ball in and feeding it to forward running players, before getting into position in the penalty box. Whether these "runners" are midfielders ore midfielders + a striker partner is irrelevant.
I think he is particularly useful in though games where we need an outlet up front.
I also think he can be very handy as one of two strikers when trying to break down teams that park the bus.
And by the way, my first post wasn't aimed at you, you touchy old fart.
I agree with you when you say that Nacho being good doesn't mean Bony is bad.
I also agree with you in your first paragraph above. But as for the rest of your assessment, I would actually go with Nacho ahead of Bony at this stage. I understand he is being carefully managed and rightly so, but I think he has shown us enough in the little he has played to deserve to be ahead of Bony.
Bony is out injured and should have to earn the displacement of Nacho.
Nacho attacks the front post and will always score goals because he has a natural instinct that cannot be taught.
He is also much more on the same wavelength as Aguero, Silva and KDB already.
I think he showed that when he came on against West Ham.
I think we need our three strikers fit. Form would say Kun and Nacho should be picked first.
I think the whole team should be picked on form.
