What F365 said is totally fair. Our away record is wank for a team of our quality. No agenda there.

Im not disputing that our away record isnt good enough. Its Dub...he brings out the media touchiness in me;-)

4 matches in a row away from home, won three of them.
We have started winning away from home.

Sergio Aguero
Despite recording their biggest top-flight win since 1968, the winners list has no place for Manchester City as a whole. We learned nothing of them that we didn't already know - this is a side always ruthless at home, often toothless away.
Aguero though, must be singled out for individual honours. Asked to plough a lone furrow at Stamford Bridge last week (and named man of the match in doing so), the Argentinean demonstrated an extra element to his game perhaps not before witnessed. Against Norwich on Saturday, and given a strike partner once more, this was a striker back to what he knows and does best. Bread and butter with a sprinkling of caviar, if you will.
Three assists and a goal took Aguero to that impressive of statuses - no Premier League player has either scored more or assisted more league goals this season - to be top of both lists highlights his immense quality. 18 goals either finished or created in his 12 games at club level this season is the record of a striker at the very peak of his powers.

Interesting how many neutrals in football, & even the enemy (Neville etc) recon Serge is capable of way better than the form he has produced so far, even in his best season.
Quite a few have the opinion that he should be up there close to Ronaldo & Messi. Perhaps he is starting on that road ?

Are you saying he is the 3rd best player in the world? Because that's crazy talk, we know who the third best player in the world is.

Really expected him to kick on and stake his claim to be one of the best in the world but went backwards and produced many substandard performances and often cut a frustrated figure. There were moments of brilliance like his goals against Rags and Chelsea but like Silva he'll know he performed nowhere near to what he was capable of. Was it Mancini? Or personal issues? Who knows..
This season though he's been fantastic and looking even better than the player he was in his debut season. If he performs consistently at the level he has been, there are few better...
My only issues with him were his greed. It's good for a striker to be confident and want to score but quite often he'd try and do it all himself and shoot from a ridiculous angle when an easy pass to a team-mate in a better position was on. One particular example was the Cardiff game early this season when at 3-2 down in stoppage time he was running away from goal on his left foot, surrounded by 3 defenders with very little angle and he shot when he had about 3 unmarked players ready to tap in if he squared the ball. And we al know that for some reason both him and Silva in the past have refused to pass to Dzeko when he was stood waiting for a tap in.
He does now though seem to be passing more and if he can do it consistently he'll be even more valuable.

Even more valuable than 40m
