Aguero Goal Rush Held At Bay
On his best day, Manchester City talisman Aguero can take on any defence in the world and win, but after going two games without a goal for the first time this season, the Argentinian hasn't looked his usual self.
The forward came up blank against Spurs at White Hart Laneย on Sunday, but the official Fantasy Premier League Twitter account noted players are still placing their faith in his talents:
Aguero failed to find the net against Celtic in the UEFA Champions League last Wednesday, but with 11 goals in his previous eight outings across all competition, he still has reason to be upbeat, per Dream Team FC:
It's also an ominous coincidence for City manager Pep Guardiola that Aguero happens to have missed the mark in the two outings they've failed to capture the win, hinting the team struggles when their star striker does.
Guardiola isn't the kind of tactician to grow overly reliant on one player for his goals, but the striker and his manager face a fight to prove there's more to their squad.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic Lost in Space
After starting out his Manchester United career looking like something out of this world, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has continued to look lost in space of lateโbut for entirely less encouraging reasons.
United were forced to settle for a share of the spoils as the Potters visited Old Trafford on Sunday, andย Match of the Dayย host Gary Lineker noted it wasn't for a lack of talent in manager Jose Mourinho's attack:
Ibrahimovic got his Premier League career up and running with four goals in his first four outings, and many a fantasy Premier League manager will be feeling the effect of his recent decline:
The former AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain ace has still shown huge promise in other aspects of his performance, but Mourinho will need his top striker back to his best if results are to follow in kind.
Ibrahimovic has now failed to score in each of his last four domestic fixtures, falling short against Watford, Northampton Town, Leicester City and now Stoke, with the Red Devils suffering as a result.
