3) City lack edge without Silva and Aguero
Kevin De Bruyne and Wilfried Bony are very good options to have but they’re no David Silva and Sergio Aguero.
The fact that the latter two are both injured might suggest why City hardly created anything in yesterday’s derby; David Silva already has six assists in the league this season.
Also, Sergio Aguero has eight league goals already, despite being inconsistent with his fitness.
Those eight include five goals against Newcastle United, who knows what he could do if he didn’t have regular injury problems.
