Tevez, the return...

[Bill]

i'd play him with kun as a 2 up front, dream team so to speak.

You were banging on about agendas and the end of the world when you heard he had come back
Why the change in tune?

Can't see Mancini starting Aguero, Balotelli and Tevez together. I think Tevez is more likely to be used as an impact sub, certainly to start with.

Thing is, we may well see the three together at some point.

If Tevez is on as an impact sub, it's because we are already chasing a game, and won't sacrifice another striker.

It will take a bit of a jiggle, so who becomes the main point man?

If Tevez is thrown into the fray, does he have to stay central, as the main striker?

Is there any chance he'll get a few minutes tonight ?

No.He`s not registered for this competition.

My mistake, cheers.

I posted about this yesterday. It took him 10 games to get fit and on top of his game when he joined us. When he came back from injury it was the same.

I don't think there's enough time to get him to the level we need him. I don't think he suits our current system either, he needs to much time on the ball.

Bench only for me.

Two months ago I would have been manning the barricades, but now, well, in the cold light of a Swansea and Lisbon reverse, it's amazing how one's focus can just, well, move on!

If it means the first title since '68 kcuf hypocrisy. Points is points, an' goals is goals!

He's on his way in the summer, anyway, best get some good outta the little shite while he's 'ere!

There's a couple of other factors in play here, and that's Tevez's motivation levels, and the effect having Tevez back will have on the team. My guess is that Tevez has been told about some of the things that have been said about him, and he'll be hugely motivated to prove a few people wrong. Also, the team seem genuinely pleased to have him back and his presence in the team may just give his team mates a boost. They're all professional footballers at the end of the day, and they know that Tevez will help them get results. I suspect we'll see some hugely impressive performances from him, and it may just make the difference in a tight title race.

A last throw of the dice in a desperate situation kind of sub for me.
I think Dave summed it up well in regrads to fitness.

Bench........... Park bench. The Gillingham game my son was 8 and wanted to leave at 2 0, i told him win lose or draw we stay till the end everytime as the lads need our support. I want to win the Europa so that twa.cant get his hands on a trophy wearing our colours, thats mine and my sons opinion and nothing will change that and not bothered if people say i am short sighted

I agree with this.

Tevez is the type of guy and talent who can still effect play by his motivation and sheer force of will alone.

As a sub, he can shoot his bolt and leave it all on the line.

A significant asset against plenty of teams. Added to wanting out in the summer and whatever issues he may still have with Mancini.

Think we will see it at Stoke, rather than Chelsea.
