Balotelli and Tevez

[Sabster]

Defensively and tactically, serie a is far better than the EPL.

It is not a better league, clearly, only someone with an extreme bias would say it is at this stage. Generally regarded to be behind PL and La Liga, many even believe the Bundesliga to be better. The glory days of the 90s are long gone.[/quote]

I am not denying that, but it is harder to score in serie a than the PL that is all I am saying.<br /><br />-- Mon Jun 14, 2010 1:46 pm --<br /><br />

Erm tevez 28/30 goals..
Balotelli 9 goals..


It's a toughey..

Ok, you wanna look at the stats.. lets look at the stats..

Ballotelli, who is 19. And will only improve

Has averaged 1 goal in 3 over the past three years (since he was introduced to pro football). And this includes a lot of apperances from the bench.

Tevez has averaged 4/10 over the past three years. Which is a difference of about 0.0666666666 goals a game. Which is almost nothing. Furthermore tevez has started loads of games. Ballotelli hasn't.

Balotelli, is more versatile quicker stronger better ion the air faster and a better finisher.

Are you serious sabster? Teves doesn't turn up in the big games? What about Chelsea home and away? What about rags home and away in the carling cup? You must be on a wind up mate.

What about our biggest game of the season?????

Spurs at home. Did nothing.

He scored a penalty that does not mean turning up for the big games.

What are you on about mate? He scored a penalty in all these games? I guess in the end you believe what you want to believe so i'm not going to try convince you but i dont know many city fans who woud want to swap Teves for Balotelli or any other striker esp after the season he's had. Gotta go mate, wanna watch the Japan vs Cameroon match

I don't know what game you were watching mate, he was marked out the game by Dawson and King so couldn't do much. Didn't stop him running around like crazy though, he was trying to do everything in that game.

Thats te sign of someone not performing in big games - being marked out of them.

I could run around like crazy, doesn't make m a good footballer.

You need to get out of the mentality that work rate > ability

Why do people even pay Sabster attention? He never has anything positive to say and if he is a city fan then i am Cleopatra VII.

Work rate creates problems for their defence thats an ability on its own, the fact in that game was just that we werent good enough and created little chances to score against them. We were hoofing the ball up front to Ade everytime who was also marked out the game by Dawson who won i'm pretty sure every header.

I can think of several games this season where Tevez has made or break us, Chelsea away for example, he beat 2 world class defenders to score basically a goal out of nothing just before half-time, if he hadn't of scored we would more than likely of got hammered.

I do have positive things to say, its just that I hate the way, people overate players that play for their own clubs.

if RM is even considering letting tevez go he shold be sacked!

it would be the worst move in recent history to let our top goal scorer go...

i really dont think (and hope) that RM is that stupid but if he is then he deserves all the backlash that he would undoubtedly get
