You know he has 11 goals and 6 assists in the league right? He's been brilliant for us in Serie A, except for the last few weeks. Conte has not rotated our strike force enough due to injuries, hopefully with Mirko healthy and Osvaldo here, Tevez can get some rest and recover his form. He looks exhausted on the pitch. I can guarantee you he finished with 15+ goals, probably around 18 and 10 assists. That's statistically our best season by a forward since Del Piero scored 21 and Trezeguet 20 in 2007/08... 5 years without a player over 13 goals in a season until we likely have Tevez, Llorente, Vidal, all over that mark this year.
He is creating good chances for his teammates through his work rate and the way he's always keeping the opposing defence working. Our team is not built on players creating things, especially not our strikers who are usually isolated. The only players who actually create anything are Asamoah, Lichtsteiner and Pirlo. The rest are dependent on the team as a whole to produce the goods. Tevez job is not to create anything out of the blue, his job is to do what he's doing today and be good with his positioning for the benefit of the team.
You must not stress this guy, FFS. He's a champ and always showed that, won't be a few games without scoring to change that. He's a bit rusty lately, everybody can see it, but he's still an important asset of this team and the quality Tevez provided in the beginning of the season has been fundamental. He's world class. He's just in a bad shape right now.
