Probably Tevez's worst game since we signed him. Hopefully he regains his form of a few weeks ago
If he stops doing his thing and the rest of the team keep on playing like this, then we can forget about reaching our objectives. Roma might be inferior, but they were consistent as hell last season in Italy.

I'm sorry but as long as Tevez is being picked we will never play a 4-3-3, he cant play the lone striker role and requires a partner up front. That was my only problem with the guy when we signed him.

For as good as he is in Serie A, we were already winning the league without him so what has he actually added to the team? In Europe still has many question marks over him. So far he looks like a bully, demolishes the lower teams but when our backs are against the wall against teams willing to take the fight to us in Europe he is no where to be seen.

He was not the star player everyone was making him out to be, i remember Moggi saying Tevez wont fix our problems in Europe which he was right about so far. Tevez is not only to blame the team and coach as a whole have not been good enough i hope he can start to deliver in Europe the competition we need him in the most.

IMO he should sacrifice a little and learn to play on the wings. I dont care if that means him losing his spot as top scorer. We cant keep using this faulty system just to accomodate him to overrun Serie A rejects. We need a system that suits not only him and Pirlo, but everyone involved.

So he better learns to play wide and cutting in for teh sake of the team. I think that its pretty clear now that we cannot throw all the weight of the european clashes on his shoulders. He is not that kind of player.

And dont come with that argument about him beng not able to play wide. Again, he better learns and adapts like any other human being would do. He cannot be benched because he offers so much covering ground , tracking back and fighting for everyball, so thats no go... but he cannot continue playing as an SS if he, or his partner is not scoring.

We wouldn't have won the scudetto last year without Tevez. Roma was very good last year and Vucinic was injured all the time. Imagine playing Giovinco in 352 as starter for the whole season.

Tevez is not the problem. He can play pretty much everywhere. The problem is he's left without support upfront and can't do everything on his own. He's not Messi nor CR7 dude. He needs support, more than without-form-Llorente. At the moment we simply don't have anyone better upfront.

Again, Serie A. IM talking about CL.
In serie A we can play any formation and we will most likely win all games 1-0. And i know he is not the problem, but our formation as a whole, hence what im saying. He will never get support in this formation with this players...and we cannot buy a lot of top class players to make him stellar. We are in a clutch situation here and we need to use the personal we got.

Im pretty clear that he is one fo the few shinning lights we have, but like i said before.. this system will force him tobe our only reference point, and this doesnt suit him in any way.

His best position is striker though, fielding in him on the wings wont solve anything. Playing wide is a completely different role than playing centrally as a striker, Our players should be played in their best positions nobody should be playing in positions they are not comfortable with.

He probably wont adapt quick enough to being a winger, he would be better off learning how to play as the lone striker in a front 3 i think we could get more success out of him that way. He could play a role similar to Messi as he is a similar player to Messi in many ways.

Yep in our system we only field 2 attackers and our wing backs who offer no support at all is a flawd system, most teams field between 3-4 attackers we field only 2 and the support they get is non existent at times. Most of our good attacks came from set pieces against Olympiakos which tells us everything we need to know about our attacking play.

We also have Pogba and Vidal, 2 of the best centre mids in the world continuously having to go out wide to cover the wing backs when they go forward and make a bad job of it anyway leaving Pogba and Vidal to clean up the mess if they break. That is a waste of 2 of the best midfielders in the world right there.

Meh he can perfectly work in a trident IMO. Call it 433, 4321 or 4312 - he can play in those formations with lots of success. He does play on the wings right now too - he roams everywhere. In 433 I propsed yesterday he'd play as a free role LWF. He can create chances for others and score himself too. He just needs support, especially in Europe. I proposed an attacking line: Tevez - Morata - Pereyra with Pogba - Marchisio - Vidal in midfield. I think it'd work very well in comparison to what we have now.

I woudn have any problem with that. Playing wide, playing a free role wide, tracking back. I dont mind. He is capable and he can adapt wherer we put him as he is talented and has a good footballing IQ.

What i want is for morata and any other guy to partner him.

I have no complaints for Carlitos.

He's like 50% of our firepower. He's one of the few that leaves his hearth on the pitch every single week.

In Serie A his numbers are impressive ever since he arrived but people complain how he fails to deliver in the CL, but you know what, our whole team fails to deliver in Europe as we look like a gutless team there. What we need in Europe is our squad to step up, not Tevez, or at least not just Tevez.

Irrelevant, when you get good chances to score you have to use them despite team performance. Tevez had two very good chances vs Olymp but wasted them.

He should be more lethal and take the pressure off his shoulders in CL.

This is what makes the striker unique and difference maker.

I meant to say whole team btw, typo.

I know what you mean, but unlike other top strikers he's not getting chances that often. He's the one that secured our 3pts in CL so far as well. Relying on one player to be a difference maker is always a horrible idea.

Indeed, but he's one of the most talented players in this squad, it's normal people expect more from him.

I like the guy, and I want him to explode and literally rape his opponents.

the real chances were missed by morata
True. Morata's chances were easier, but Tevez is 10x the player Morata is in terms of finishing and killing the chance.

That said, I think Allegri should have started with Fernando instead of Morata.

And experience. You will see tevez always blasting the ball in the keeper´s chests. I dont know why.
Lie you said, thats all the difference between him, and real goal scorers like Messi and Cronaldo. Those guys always try to aim the ball in the weirdest places so keepers cant catch em, but that takes skill and composure in front of goal. We are talking about the best of the best
