Tevez had two consecutive seasons with Tevez having 20 or more goals in the league alone under Mancini. You claim he just threw them together but what's wrong with that when it worked and won the league? Pellegrini hasn't been able to do much better than him in Europe.
Think of how Lippi couldn't accomodate Henry, Vieira only got two starts under Capello at Milan, or how Ferguson couldn't get the best out of Forlan and Veron, Mourinho couldn't find space for Shevchenko etc.
Terrible, terrible coaches indeed.
Yep, a change of air in jubentus forums could make him return to his top form...top5 poster, am i right?
Mancini had the resources to build an organized team and get more out of Tevez, instead he just overloaded on talented players. What's wrong with that is we never saw Tevez's true potential at City because he was never accommodated. A player like Tevez was the heartbeat of a side that almost won the fucking treble, while at City he became Aguero's no2.

Irrelevant examples. Coaches might make mistakes by misjudging a talent or putting great players outside of their plans, but Tevez does not fit into that category. He was not a misjudged young player nor was he ever outside of Mancini's plans (barring the Bayern incident). He was always in Mancini's plans, which is to open the chequebook and overload instead of accomodate.
Dude doesn't know how to get the best out of what he has. Team is always overdependent on individual brilliance because there is no style of play. I brought up Tevez b/c is a great example of that.
He didn't need to compete with Van Nistelrooy nor was he a 23 year old new to European football. England also didn't suit Forlan's style of play but you can't say the same for Tevez. Veron didn't work out because he was too similar to Scholes. Viera was a 20 year old midfielder moving from a lower table team in france to one of the biggest clubs in the world and he had to compete with boban, donadoni, desailly. He was also at Milan for 6 months for christ sake. And by the way, it was Ancelotti who had Henry, and he was only at Juve for 6 months who had to play as a defensive winger in their team because there was no space for him anywhere else. He was converted to a striker at Arsenal. Most of these examples come down to impatience but Tevez was at City for 4 years.

Neymar, Diego Costa, Aguero, Suarez better than Tevez last year?
I'm not so sure Juve without Tevez wouldn't have even won Serie A. With him, they won Serie A, Coppa, and raeched the UCL final. almost won a treble for christ sake.
chelsea without diego costa would've been second place in the PL. Barcelona without suarez would've still reached the final of the champions league. this is how i see it.

Mancini: 'Inter have potential'
By Football Italia staff
Roberto Mancini said Inter haven’t reached their “full potential” yet and praised Felipe Melo after the Milan Derby victory.
The Nerazzurri are top of the table alone for the first time in five years and the only side with a 100 per cent record after three rounds.
“It is difficult for both teams only three rounds into the season, as neither can express its full potential,” Mancio told Sky Sport Italia after beating Milan 1-0.
“We have started well, there were many people in the crowd and hopefully both of those trends will continue.
“As I said last week, big clubs must start out targeting the ultimate prize. Then you need luck, consistency and other elements to go your way.
“Who are the other contenders for the Scudetto? Juventus, Roma and Napoli.”
Gary Medel was surprisingly picked as a centre-back to replace injured Joao Miranda, leaving former captain Andrea Ranocchia on the bench.
“Medel knows the two Milan strikers, as he played against them many times in South America, and also played regularly in the back four for Chile.
“Ranocchia was not in his best form, while Medel is a bit quicker. Perisic can play many positions, but I only got him three days ago in training and we’ll have more time to settle the new players in.
“The team is not yet able to stay compact and aggressive, but with time we’ll find better fitness levels and the performances will improve too.
“Murillo has to shake off this habit of mistakes and bad back-passes, but he’s young and will learn.”
Felipe Melo made his debut and was arguably Man of the Match in the Inter midfield.
“I trained him at Galatasaray and he’s a great player. He’s experienced, can do everything and is determined – not in a bad way. He had a great game tonight.
“We are only in Week 3 and football can change in the space of 90 minutes. These results must give us the confidence to carry on this path.
“Other squads are better placed to win the Scudetto, but we are Inter and we must go for it.”
