if mancini can forgive........

Yes

Tevez had been warming up for 10 minutes prior to the strange De Jong for Dzeko substitution. He had a mini strop about not wanting to warm up again, when Mancini got all emotional and confrontational. It was clear from the TV pictures that Zab had advised him to get up and jog when someone off camera made him sit back down.

In my mind, and talking to other City fans at Munich airport the following morning, it has become too much of an issue purely because of Mancini's stance on the night.

Tevez was brilliant for City last season and deserves another chance, on condition that he doesn't do it again.

I didn't think it was such a strange substitution - we were in disarray and it was getting worse - as far as I am aware goal difference could be a factor in determining qualification and De Jong was brought on to stop even further damage (there being plenty of time remaining to recover our deficit) - It didn't get any worse and in my view it therefore worked and without the subsequent 'events' who knows what the result might have been!

Didnt seem that strange to me. I think Mancini takes the view that if the strikers aren't scoring or at least having chances its usually because we arent dominating in midfield. Even after the substitution we had plenty of fire power on the pitch.

Bye bye Tevez

 

[stavros]

absolutely detest the guy with a passion.
hope he never plays for us again , or sets foot in the stadium.
an absolute disgrace and shockingly bad professional.
he has disrespeceted MCFC and that is unforgivable.

but if he did play for us again, he will get my support

I have a feeling that is on the cards -

Roberto Mancini softened his stance towards Carlos Tevez on Friday, saying he did not know whether the Argentine would play for the club again despite previously stating the striker was "finished".

what ever roberto says i back.

If the Munich situation was the only thing Tevez had done, then maybe a truce could be found.
But its not, where Tevez is concerned things seem to be getting worse and its just one thing after another.
Cant see any way back for him now, I dont think his ego wont allow it.
Best for all concerned that he move on and we get another striker in that is young and hungry and wants to be part of it all.
I personally think that Tevez cant handle not being top dog anymore.
Thank you Carlos for what you did on the pitch, but off it......do one.

That's the one spot on, bobs choice not ours. If he hadn't, put dejong on we could have lost that by 4, has it stands now we have an outside chance, we can beat bayern by 2 I'm sure of it .

 

[paul.manc]

I know most people will disagree but I hope he stays.

I think to be truly forgiven, he has to score in a really important match, i.e. the derby next Sunday!!
