Ade/Tevez - getting the right blend

[City Raider]

Is it me or were we a lot more fluent whilst Ade was away and Tevez was left to maraud around on his own, with help Petrov/Bellamy etc?

We seem too rigid, easy to mark and aren't dragging defenders around like we were.

Not a criticism of Ade, he will get us goals, more praise of Tevez and the different problems he brings to defenders.

Think it was more that it coincided with Mancini's honeymoon period.

agreed, makes us play the ball along the floor instead of using a target man, but ade did quite well today

Tevez in the hole where Ireland played today, and I think we would have seen a different City going forward.

Johnson----Tevez-----SWP

drop Ade, use Tevez to secure CL status, sign top class striker in the summer

job done

They can play together but only in a team who can keep possession. Otherwise tevez will have to go looking for the ball, and Ade will be left isolated.

 

[PaleBlue]

I'd settle for just knowing when Carlos will be back.
