Fair enough, I just don't think he has been as clinical as possibly he could have been so far, he is a terrific striker, one of the best (possibly just Costa ahead of him in terms of ability) in the league.

He will always be up there in terms of the final top scorers in the league, though it wouldn't really shock me if Pep did sell him come the end of the season.
You're getting a hard time for your statement but I get what you were trying to say and I agree. He's not doing enough in the big matches (like today) but he will score a couple of goals against the lower sides. Even when he scores I don't think he's having as much an effect on the whole game as he used to in the past.

Aguero has been very poor for the most part this season, and I think this was just his frustrations coming to the fore, I can see him being sold in the summer.
not been as "terrific" as Pogba, has he?

Yeah, the stats as a whole might show him having scored a very good amount of goals so far, but I don't believe that they are a true reflection of his current standard of general play, or effectiveness.

What are you about, the two players play in totally different positions, and thus have to be judged differently, as their roles and responsibilities to their respective teams are also very different.

Pogba is in his first season so maybe time to cut him some slack?

Sunderland 1 Leicester 0, unfortunate deflection off Huth, just as I thought neither side were looking like scoring

Obviously a long way to go but there is currently a 7 point gap to 5th from Man Utd perspective. Just a bit more pressure in the mix for the away trip to Everton tomorrow.

Its 2-0 now.,

Leicester really have to get a grip. Fairyland winners last year, I thought there was enough momentum to avoid a bad reaction this time around. I don't want to see them drawn into a survival battle, but its starting to look that way.

Raneri is the problem, Okasaki and Gray should be starting, Vardy should be on the bench, he is showing too much loyalty to Vardy unforunately

Well done Southampton, you had the chance to put Palace in the relegation zone and possibly get Pardew out of the Premier League and you blew it.

Leicester must surely be the only side in the knockout stages of the Champions League in danger of being relegated in their own domestic league.

2 Preston players sent off for fighting with each other

Should be a fun journey home on the team coach

Ahh that brings back memories of Batty and Le Saux, and a freezing cold match against Moscow!

I feel like the only reason Leicester scored was to spite my Fantasy Football team. The pricks.

Or Lee Bowyer's scrap with Kieron Dyer.

Battle of David O'Leary's old teams about to start on Sky

Seems odd that Leeds v Aston Villa is in the Championship

Leicester are in relegation form in the league now , Swansea are definitely down imo , Hull are close, Sunderland have suddenly started getting results , so if Leicester carry on they could find themselves in a relegation battle

I don't care how you're judging them. to say Aguero has been poor this season, after claiming Pogba has been terrific is complete and utter bias. there is just no way both of those statements can be true.

Pogba is in his first season so maybe time to cut him some slack?
indeed. my comment wasn't so much about Pogba as it was about batdude's bias.
