Sergio Aguero struggles against West Ham in first Premier League start since October and whether Manchester City give him time and patience this season to reacclimatise is up for debate

There will come a point this season when a ball falls to Sergio Aguero and the stars align for Manchester City. Given his history here, thinking otherwise would be illogical.

It will probably be a big goal, one of real significance, because Aguero is a magnet to defining moments. Strikers with that poaching nose always are and he is one of the greatest among them.

Those sort of chances, the manufacturing of potentially a final momentous flash of crucial brilliance, do look more likely to arrive from the bench these days though. The goalscorer on as a substitute to the rescue, rather than the leading light driving them on.
