Alan Shearer:Tevez to blame if City don't win the title

[cleavers]

Mancini bought Aguero to replace Tevez, so I am not sure if Tevez absence will be acceptable excuse from Mancini.

Really ? I'd love to see the quote, you forget that Mancini bought Aguero 3 months before tevez decided awol would be a good occupation for 5 months.

Aguero was bought to be one of 4 quality strikers, its a pity one of them went awol for so long.

Same place the rags were for most of the season.

Did you mean "you" instead of "the rags" ?

Sorry bud, not on my game today ; )

Since he came back City have been losing, should have stayed in Argentina.

Except we've won 4 out of our 5 league games ;o)

The past two weeks he's been training with the team? Lost two games.

Only 1 thing is to blame if we dont win the title, our away form. 2 goals, both set pieces, from 6 games in the PL

Exactly. The supply to the front men has dried up.

I don't completely agree, nor completely disagree with Shearer on this one. Should we fail to win the title there are a few people/things that need to carry some of the blame. City quiet clearly have the best starting 11, and the best squad, in the Premiership. We should be winning the league. It is undeniable though that we have, at times, been a little light in the striker department. We've been reliant on 3 strikers throughout the season so far, top sides need more than that. United have got Rooney, Hernandez, Berbatov, Welbeck and, to a lesser extent, Owen. Chelsea have Torres, Drogba, Sturridge, Kalou, Lukaku and for a while Anelka. Spurs have Defoe, Adebayor, Pavlyuchenko and Dos Santos/Kane and then replace Pav with Saha. Arsenal have Van Persie, Gervinho, Chamakh and Park (ok, so 3 of them are shite but they still have 4 options!). Liverpool have Suarez, Carroll, Bellamy and Kuyt. City had to rely on Aguero, Balotelli and Dzeko after Tevez jumped ship. With Ade, Santa Cruz, Nimely and Guidetti all out on loan we didn't have anyone to asist when Tevez went and, should we fail to win the league, Tevez will have to shoulder his portion of the blame.
