Tin Hat securely fastened...So here I go.
The facts show that in the first 5 games, we won 4, I cant remember Tevez playing in any of those 5 games. Now, this is not me stating that Tevez is not a good player, because he is a fantastic player and well worth the money we payed for him. But, Ireland has not started the last couple of games up until yesterday for a few weeks, and I believe this is to accomodate Tevez.
It does not work! Ireland, SWP, Tevez, Bellamy, Petrov, they can't all start, and on current form, Tevez should not be starting. Ireland should.
Some people on here have asked the questions, "Is Highes tactically inept", "Is there behind the scenes control", "Is Hughes being pressured by the chairman to play Tevez".
If you were there yesterday, you will have seen that Tevez, was way off form. He was very poor in front of goal, and lost the ball a lot. Unless you look through extremely tinted blue specs, then you'll agree with me.
When Tevez is on form he's brilliant, he has been brilliant on occasions this season, but he shouldnt be battling for a place with Ireland, it should be with SWP. Ireland and Barry did not dominatew midfield yesterday, and that needs to be assessed but in the second half, both seemed more motivated and it showed.
Tevez needs to up his act, he was poor yesterday. Him or SWP?
