Tevez Shines But Is It Enough?
Wednesday, 03 December 08, 09:08 PM · Comments(3)
Carlos Tevez has not played much this season... in fact, appearing in a total of 20 games for United this season, he has become third preference to Berbatov and Rooney.
However, we know that when he does play, Tevez puts in his 100% into every game. So why the lack of goals? When he started against Aston Villa, he looked as if he didn't fit in well, possibly putting doubts in the mind of Sir Alex.
And if Sir Alex did have any doubts, they were all shattered this afternoon. Tevez started up-front on a typical Carling Cup Manchester squad, an abundance of the young, the few old, and the returning from injury. This time, his hard work payed off as he punished the Rovers with 4 goals. Yeah, FOUR goals! Ok so the first kind of went off a Blackburn defender and the third was because of some really (I mean really, go watch the replay) unselfishness by Anderson, but all in all he was the perfect prowler. His fourth goal was finished in typical Tevez style - powerful, accurate, and on the fly.
So here's my question: Does it really matter?
Well...I'm not sure. It's only Carling Cup, but this is an excellent breakthrough for the 24 year old. I hope, that either Berba or Rooney will be taking a seat for Sunday's game vs Sunderland to make room for Tevez. However, Sir Alex can sometimes be hard to predict...
Do you feel Tevez has earned a starting spot? Who would you put up front?
I say: I like Rooney and Berba, but it's good to mix it up.

If Ferguson leaves out Tevez I think it will be enough to seal his fate. If scoring 4 goals against Premier League opposition isn't enough what would he have to do?
That said, I like Berba and Rooney up front myself so I doubt Tevez will ever get enough football for him to stay by the end of the season.
It's whether you want a grumpy striker between now and then.
Yeah, I feel he might leave.
However Sir Alex is no stranger to having extra talent. In '99 he dealt with four strikers of (debatably) equal talent; Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole, Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
i think that tevez is very gud player...........eventhough he doesn't score much but he can create gud passses and he can fight 4 the ball if man u doesn't have the possesion.so he is a asset 4 man u..........
