The Apache Tevez should never be left out of any of our away games - he should always start. He got the vital goals against Chelsea, L'Pool away, Tottenham away and now Lyon - HE IS A WINNER, he runs, runs, runs, and would play in his bare feet if he had too. He doesn't know the meaning of the word defeat. Hargeaves, Anderson, and Tev are the combatants. Ronnie didn't turn up again, he is always seemingly poor away from home!!!!!! And Rooney, God somebody teach him to trap a ball, his first touch is bad, bad, bad. Still love him though.

Craig, i think its better he comes off the bench if its an away match. as good both of them are (Rooney & Tevez), i prefer Tevez comes off the bench when the defence is tired. He would provide another way of attacking for sure. like u saw prior to the goal, the defence didn't know who to pick up, Rooney? Ronaldo? Tevez? Rio, Vidic.

Anyways, wats up with his hair? he got his hair gel or something? He should have got some from Ronaldo, i think Ronnie has a small tube stashed somewhere in his boot or socks, his hair is alwiz slick! lol.

Spitfire, I fear if Tev is kept on the bench in the important european games, he being as good as he is, he won't want to stick around when his loan spell is up at the end of the year. He is more effective than Giggs, Scholes and even Ronnie in away games - so I really don't want to see him benched too often. Too many of our players can be non entities sometimes away from home, but THE APACHE ISN'T ONE OF THEM. But I understand where you are coming from spitfire. And yes his hair is comical, but it makes him appear even more Lion like - haha!

Craig, well that loan deal can really get messy come end of the season man. I don't want us to be haggling with Tevez, like the mascherano case. But i'm sure Fergie would make sure we don't get to that situation. i agree with u sayin he might think hard if he is to be use primarily as a sub, but he is only 23 so he does have time, tho i'm still thinkin of wat he said weeks before, joining boca in his prime. smh.

Next season, we would have Rooney, Tevez, Welbeck (Maybe?), Manucho, Saha (hopefully not!) and maybe Benzema and Ben Arfa? i really hope Benzema comes over, tho i doubt how much time he would get with Rooney and Tevez startin and Manu showin good signs.

If we have plenty of resources up front next season, I don't see the problem in keeping Saha. He may have to be happy with a smaller role but it's not like he is untalented, if he is injury prone and we have plenty to cover up front then so be it. I do think Berbatov will be a Manchester United player next season, if the sale of Saha or a swap / money deal is made to make that happen then so be it.

Craig you always bloody point out Roo's first touch as being bad.. haha, he has his moments but the word bad is a bit over the top.. he is full of skill and his first touch is a part of that!!!

As for Tevez, I thought it was a 2 year loan deal to start with? Am I wrong? I also cannot see Tevez wanting to leave just yet, he is at the best club in the WORLD!

Spitfire - I get where your coming from - I would be ok with that list mate. Still think Tev will not settle for the bench in the big matches tho.

Tom F - Hahaha - your so right, and I will keep going on about Roo's control of the ball until his bringing a ball under control improves. Even you must admit that Roo misses sitter after sitter because the ball so often runs away from him at the vital time. I agree about all the skill and artistry, but we do need more goals from him, and I know Roo wants to build up his goal tally LOL. I do know he contributes so much more to games than just goalscoring tho, and that he is an essential player to us.

I know where you are coming from, but I think rather than his touch it's his split decision thinking that makes his goal tally suffer.. when he is at his deadliest he shoots first time or after one touch, but he does lately take a few more touches than required.

I hope he bangs a few past Newcastle to add to Kevin Keegans misery. We know he has a decent record against them, so roll on saturday >>>
