He was.

Tevez playing off an Ade or Dzeko type would be my favoured way to go, but what the fuck do I know?
;P
Adebayor had a hamstring strain. mancini was reported as saying this happened before the Sunderland game yet he came on as a sub. I may have misunderstood. Santa Cruz was in China with paraguay and came back late in the week. Tevez wasn't as mobile as normal. He was either tired, or feeling his calf injury or probably both. He could have scored a hat-trick on another day.typicalcity68 said:scorer said:Sorry if it has been posted elsewhere deep in another thread.... but where were Santa Cruz and Adebayor yesterday... were they both injured?
We need one of them to start against Salzburg.
Sadly, thoiugh I have been supportive of Jo I am beginning to think he just does not cut it at this level (IMO).
I am sure RSC was warming up at half time

so why not bring him on instead of Jo
or even start with him (depending on fitness) and play him alongside tevez......a big guy like RSc could be a good foil for tevez to work off of
One look at Blackburn's centre-backs should explain why he went with jo. That and the fact that Jo has more match time than Santa Cruz this season.Freestyler said:simon23 said:so why not bring him on instead of Jo

i agree with all!
Blue Phil said:Out:
Adebayor and Jo
In:
One of either Fernando Torres, Dzeko, Suarez or Ibrahimovic.
Personally i would then line up with:
-------------------------SILVA-------------------------
----------TEVEZ--------------------NEW STRIKER----
It is important that we get rid of Ade for a more classy finisher with a better attitude (so maybe knock Suarez and Ibra of the list)
Balti said:and Nimely.....
Assuming that the only viable options to play with Tev are currently Jo and Nimely then I'd give the youngster a go. He is presumably in the squad on merit so give him a start. Can't be worse than Jo and might be a good foil for Carlos?
Perhaps try him out at West Brom?
PS I can't believe we have spent all this money and still can't find a decent complement of strikers to see us through injuries and rotation! Just like old times.
