Do you think we can play Tevez in first 11?

[bluethai]

Tevez is a great player, yes he's scored roughly 60 goals in 80 games for us, however, those 60 goals were about all we scored in those 80 games, I'm exaggerating I know but....
This season we have started with a surge off quick fire attacking play, slick passing and goals galore. We put 4 past Swansea, 3 past Bolton (that should have been a minimum of 5) and 5 past Spurs, why would we look to change what we are doing? Mancini has obviously planned for life without Tevez, the signing of Dzeko when Tevez was top scorer, the addition of Aguero all point to one thing, Mancini sees life without Tevez, I for one am not unhappy with this. Don't get me wrong I love Tevez, I wish he could adapt to our new style of play but I doubt he can. Dzeko loves being here, the players obviously love him and love playing with him. I see Tevez now being used as a sub and in the less important games or to cover injury, until he leave, I think we have the best attacking options outside of Barcelona so I'm not gutted he's here, but I can't see him being here for long. I hope I really do that Tevez knuckles down, and does all he can to adapt and play regularly. I have not forgotten is past achievements but I see a City side so far looking hungrier than ever, and we look much stronger than last year. I have always been a Mancini fan and I hope people can see his grand plan coming to fruition, after all he did say it would take time, and low and behold it did, but I think we have peaked at the right time, unfortunately Tevez may have spat his dummy a little early to fully enjoy the success.

You make some good points here, mate.

However I'd like to see Tevez given a chance in this team. Maybe he was a little greedy last season, but the other players didn't seem to be on his level, except Silva. Maybe this season with Nasri and Aguero around him too, he'll pass a lot more and be a team player. He was a team player at Man Utd, after being greedy at West Ham.

I'd be shocked if he was still greedy in a team this good, with players like Nasri, Aguero and Silva around him.

He was the same. I bet you haven't seen Tevez played with Messi, Higuaín, Kun, di María, Mascherano, Banega, Cambiasso, ... then.

I dislike the man for the way he has behaved towards the club, but what a player he is, and i bet he will make a very valuable contribution to any success we have this season.

No. He's 4th choice striker for me. Only required if all of the other 3 are injured.

CARLOS TEVEZ is set to make his first start for Manchester City tomorrow since saying he wanted out of the club.
The Argentina strike ace has committed himself to City since his bid to leave failed when nobody matched the £50million valuation.

Tevez, 27, has worked hard to shed the weight he put on over the summer.

Now boss Roberto Mancini believes he is fit enough and in the right frame of mind to start at home to Wigan having made just one brief sub appearances in the opening three games.

Tevez trained at Carrington while City team-mate Sergio Aguero went off with Argentina to play friendlies in India and Bangladesh against Venezuela and Nigeria.

Mancini has hinted he may revive interest in Fiorentina winger Alessio Cerci, 24.

He said: "He is one of the few players who are able to win a game on their own."

I thought Tevez went to Argentina.

No way, there's no balance of attack and defence in the squad. This 11 will crumble.
