Mancini has got previous for taking him off for a 'rest'. I understand how hard Tevez works and that he does more work in 60min than most players do in 3weeks. I just wanted him to play the full 90 mins and possibly get a hat trick.
You can bookmark this page all you want and if I'm incorrect then I shall hold my hands up so you can get your 'i told you so' out of the way. I forgot that this was a fans forum where people have their own opinions.
Can anyone tell me the last time that he played a full 90mins when we've been winning?
You still haven't said who will play up front on Tuesday after saying Tevez won't start.

It's almost like he's making sure our best player doesn't risk unnecessary injury after he's run around like a mad man for 80/85 mins.

Joint top and playing well - Mancini clearly knows best.
My only concern is that the "Heroes Farewell" isn't usually a problem - however on Saturday - the penalty had given Wolves a new impetus. We had always looked the technically superior side but their endeavour, commitment and tactics had been causing us problems and they looked dangerous at every attack. It wasn't as if it was a case of "where did that comeback come from?" they had looked dangerous throughout. That said - anyone in our squad should be good enough to help the team through to the final whistle - Saturday was just too close for comfort.

It wouldn't surprise me if he played Jo upfront. Milner will start instead of AJ and Silva will be brought back in. I reckon Tevez will start on the bench cos we've an important game away at Villa on Saturday.
In fact the team for Leicester will be (imo)
Hart, Boateng, Lescott, Kompany, Kolorov, Barry, Yaya, Viera, Milner, Silva, Jo.

He'll start on Tuesday.
If it was me in that position, I'd be happy to come off with 10 mins to spare and start the next match rather than playing the full match and then sitting on the bench in mid-week.
We want to win the FA Cup and starting with Jo up top isn't the right way to go about it.

I agree it's not the right way to go about it but I think that's how Mancini will set up. He'll think like a previous post mentioned, we've got a strong enough squad to see off Leicester. If it starts going tits up then he'll bring Tevez on.

;o) wasn't trying to undermine you Pal, we are all blues together and its all about opinions. Just that mine and yours differ on this subject, its what makes the world go round you know.
I expect him to start tomorrow but if we open a 2 or 3 goal lead up then I wouldnt expect Patchy to play for much more than an hour tomorrow either. Its up to him if he wants a rest, all he's got to do is rattle in a first half hattrick ;o)

nevilletogoater-in said:I agree with the OP. Tevez was on a hat trick all this bollocks about we play Leicester through the week is shite as tevez won't even start.
I think it's ridiculous that our best player (by a fucking country mile) is either the most or 2nd most substituted player in the league.
Another non understander of the benefits of squad rotation !!

I'm all for squad rotation and frankly you questioning my understanding of it is laughable. Can you explain why he's one of the most substituted in the league? It's virtually every game he plays he gets taken off. Why doesn't he give the same courtesy to say someone like Yaya Toure or De Jong who in my opinion are just as precious albeit in different positions.
I just thought I'd post the following article from the MUEN.

Not the most reliable source however it seems to suggest my theory that Tevez may not start on Tuesday

At 4-2 up,the best option of all the players.No good taking Dzeko off,as he wont be playing v Leicester and he needs some match fitness.
Pointless taking off a midfielder.

Wow even a 'City Fan' has fallen for the media snipping. Tevez is the most subbed player, blah blah blah. Tevez has played more minutes than any top striker in the league.
With Balotelli out, Dzeko just joining Tevez is very very important.
You ask about De Jong? Who brings off a holding midfielder when they are winning? Only an idiot would suggest that. As for Ya Ya, name another player in City's squad more likely to expose a team on the break with a charge from midfield in the later stages.
Tevez's game is based on energy, passion, strength and skill, his body takes a lot of punishment in a game, if the game is won get him off. I would and I guess most would be pretty pissed off if Tevez were to get injured in the last 5 minutes when we are 4-1 up.
Couple that with a game tonight, I know he may not start but he will be on the bench and he is are only eligible front line striker.
nevilletogoater you really need to change your outlook, you are by no means looking at the bigger picture.
Do you think Tevez being subbed a lot towards the end of dead rubber games and the fact that he spends less time out injured than Rooney, RVP, Drogbha, Torres, Berbatov or any other top line forward in purely coincidental?

I understand that they guy runs himself into the ground but my point was, earlier on in the season (cant remember the game though) he kicked off with Mancini famously on the touchline for being subbed. I would of thought with the game won (so his workrate didnt have to be as intense) he would of stayed on for the full 90mins with the possibility of getting his hat trick.
Now onto tonight why didn't he get subbed at 3-1 after putting in the same kind of performance coupled with us having a game on Saturday? Also I would like to offer my apologies for being so cock sure he'd start on the bench tonight.
