Would Tevez have done well in Pep's system?

[Ban-jani]

Yes

 

[simon23]

Great players usually have a bit of a short circuit, so yes I think Jesus does need a bit of controlled aggressive attitude to improve his game. He's not as bad as he was though, when he used to throw himself down in the box with a silly caricature-like slapped arse face trying to con the ref he'd just been shot.

showed again that he is just not decisive enough when in front of goal....passed to KDB who then hit the bar instead of pulling the trigger himself.....he lacks killer instinct

Tevez would have been perfect for this system.

 

[Beanhead]

If he brought into it imo he could have been phenomenal.. like Peps go to guy. His press from the front could have been coached into being the best in the world.. could have caused so many mistakes and turnovers that resulted in City goals.

However, we are talking about Tevez here. So it is just as likely that he runs over to Pep after scoring and teabags him live on tv as it is that he follows his precise instructions.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Stick him on the half way line and leave him to it, he would be fine with Pep and would have scored a sackful in this team

 

[Matt the Giant]

Tevez would excel under Pep, a perfect match. Works like a lion, never gives up, prolific... would have been great to watch.

 

[Gingers Dad]

Yes

Agree

 

[Neville Kneville]

Absolutely

 

[BillyShears]

All day long.

Tevez was fucking amazing - massively talented.

The problem with Tevez is that he'd often fall out in some sort of argument/disagreement with his manager.

Maybe Pep could have avoided this aspect of Tevez's personality - but I doubt it very much.

Pep will not start off-form players and will substitute in-form players tactically in order to protect them from injury in upcoming matches - and that would be intolerable (IMO) to Tevez - some sort of blowup would ensue and Tevez would be off.

Having said this - an in-form, Tevez would absolutely fit into Pep's system - allowance might have to be made for Tevez's wandering around the pitch to find the ball (even if the manager doesn't want him to).

 

[trevorriley]

didn't Tevez press way before pep thought of it !

the system would have been perfect for tevez, he would be banging goals galore in, of all the players ive seen at city tevez most of all i would like to have seen work with pep.

as for getting on with each other, i think they would have pretended to get on really well, pep perhaps giving tevez a pat on the back as he walks off celebrating a hatrick.

 

[Kippax.]

If Tevez time at city had coincided with Pep's, how would had that worked out? I think he did had the work rate that Pep demands and would had thrived in Pep's team.

yes

 

[samarasra]

Yes. Maybe not so much his agent.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Hard to split Kun & Tevez , both world class strikers what tips it form me is Tevez's fitness , he hardly missed any games apart from his self imposed golfing expedition in Argentina can't remember him being injured, Kun as he has got older is picking up a lot of injuries , but we would be silly to let him leave at the end of the season
Kun definitley worth another 12 months contract if he wants it.

 

[yankblue]

On the pitch, yes.

Off the pitch he was difficult and I'm not sure Pep would have put up with that for very long.

 

[bugsyblue]

On the field, hell yes. Off the field, hell no.

Have you watched any City matches this year?

 

[Blue Feather]

Very well I think...

I was going to post but then I read yours and you've said exactly what I would have said.

They had a PL icons programme on Sky for Tevez last night. What a player. On his day he was brilliant, one the best players I've ever seen as City.

In a parallel universe I'd love to see Tevez in his prime in the current side.
