Although he has scored
18 goals in the current campaign, Guardiola has shown is still not
satisfied with the performance of the 28-year-old.
Aside from dropping him at some key moments this season, Guardiola has been critical of his attack led by the striker.
In the aftermath of their 4-0 defeat at Everton
last week, Guardiola criticised Aguero and his other forwards insisting
that his defenders are feeling the heat because those in front were not
able to fire them into a lead.
Guardiola has been
very enthusiastic in the signing of Jesus which has made many to
believe that the Brazilian could be his first-choice No. 9.
