City have been awarded 8 penalties so far this season - 5 in the league and 2 in the Champions League. 4 have been scored and 4 missed/saved. Agüero has been the main man for this task in the absence of Touré but his record mirrors that of the club overall with only a 50% success rate overall (including the one he took for Argentina). His saved effort against Everton yesterday was his second miss from the spot inside a week having failed to convert his spot kick for Argentina in midweek and compounded Kevin De Bruyne's inability to get the ball past Steklenberg on the cusp of halftime.
So the question is........stick or twist?
Should Agüero continue to be handed the responsibility for this job or is there anyone else that Pep ought to nominate? Would giving Agüero a 'rest' in fact erode his confidence or enable him to recover his penalty taking mojo? Who else has the coolness to slot the ball home from twelve yards (if they are on the pitch)?
