Seeing as he's scored a massive percentage of goals this season, (I think its 40%), he deserves more than anyone to lead us out because without Tevez we wouldn't be:
A) 4th
B) in the Semi of the FA Cup.
With Tevez out I fear for where the goals are going to come from, unless Balotelli gets his head firmly screwed on in the next 48 hours. For me it's time for Silva to step up to the goal-scoring plate on Saturday.
