The media needs a target, never ashamed to create one when required, and Aguero seems to have never matched any of the categories that enable the media to pounce on him as hero or villain. He never seems to cause any unrest in the team and is never subject to any negative press. For the papers and plastic TV pundits, the only thing he seems to do wrong is doing everything right.
He netted 4 goals at Spurs in October 2014, and 10 in 3 games during the later season. He won the Player of the Year award in the same, ironically the only year he didn't score more than 30 league goals.
All this should imply that he be lauded like a Rooney or a Suarez He scores reliably, Harry Kane may be top scorer, but he has played more minutes than Aguero, and for a Statto-obsessive goal per minute means more in terms of consistent talent than goals in total. He holds the record, above Thierry Henry, for goals per minute in the Premier League.
After joining Man City in July 2011, Aguero has been hugely consistent and has already become the club's leading ever goalscorer. While it's true that he is not the Premier League's top scorer this season, it's also true that unlike Vardy and Kane, his club can afford to rotate and rest him rather than relying only on him to lead the line. Vardy, in particular, is often a carrier for his team.
He scored six times over five matches in the Champions League group stage helping City to their first ever knockout stage of the competition. This is all despite a succession of minor injuries and the afore-mentioned rotation system at his club.
Since the new regime reignited city, there are few names that could be picked ahead of his as being a fundamental part of the new revolution so far. It cannot be argued that Aguero receives far too few plaudits for the consistent service of his club. Even though he usually outperforms his more extravagant or attention-seeking rivals he remains one of the less-praised players in the EPL.
