When he plays I always had that feeling he would score in every game no matter how poorly the team was playing. Very few players are like that, some good strikers out there that will play well when the team plays well, very very few that will take the game by the scruff of the neck and make something happen.
If the number of goals that Tevez scored is replaced, the player will not be missed. Carlos was more single-minded than anyone I have seen for a long time in his attempts to win the Golden Boot. All of our eggs, at times, seemed to be in his basket. Get a different player who can score 70 or 80% of his goals, plus a few more from Dzeko, Silva, Johnson et al, win the matches, gather the points and Carlos Tevez will be a distant dream.
What will be missed is the high-octane, high-energy levels with which he infused each game. He also put the fear of holy shit into defenders. I'll miss those things.
Completely agree. The play will no longer be centralised through one selfish yet genius player and hopefully goals will be spread out across the team. We will still rely on a striker or two to get most of the goals, the 80% you mention, but as I believe the team will chip in more the loss of one extremely good goalscorer should be redundant.
