Tevez's reputation is based on scoring important goals. Nail on the head. He scores vital goals at times. For United he scored a fair few, and for West Ham too. Because of this, as Goonie says, people overrate him. He runs around a lot and scores important goals a bit. That's all. Only recently has he started scoring consistently and doing more than just running about. But no way can he be called better than Rooney after 10 or so class matches.

Tevez's reputation is based on scoring important goals. Of course this is important hence them being important goals  That sounds like a Homer sentence

But no way can he be called better than Rooney after 10 or so class matches. Yep, people overrate him, almost to the point where he is underrated by those who believe he is overrated to the extent where those that think he's overrated are actually underating him if you get what I mean.
As for the thread, fucking shit, as per.

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

Who cares if Rooney can score 2 penalties and a tap in against the likes of Hull, what you need is someone to stand up and be counted when it matters, and Rooney is a frequent big game bottler, while Tevez constantly performs in the big games.
You can criticise Tevez's goalscoring record all you like, but it's clear that when he is getting games and is constantly in the side and feeling confident he is something special. First at West Ham, now at City. What is clear is that when you take away his confidence and stick him on the bench his performance suffers, so his performances at United shouldn't be looked into too much, and his performances at West Ham and City are more reflective of his talent.

In his first season he made a lot of starts and in the second I read he made 52 appearances, not sure how many as a sub but recently United broke the 100 game mark for not having a starting xi the same as the last so I would guess quite a few were.

Not sure why you found it so funny tbh...i'd be delighted if you could explain.

Tevez started plenty of games and was anonymous. He was shit in plenty of big games too. Rooney has scored important goals just like Tevez has. Both tend to go missing in the majority though.

"Started plenty of games" isn't good enough though, played one dropped the next just unsettles him. I'm not saying he had a huge hand here (Ronaldo carried the side) but when he was starting every game for United he played well and they won the PL and CL, the next season he was barely playing and he was poor. Tevez doesn't go missing in games, I wouldn't exactly say Rooney does a lot either, but Rooney doesn't perform. He doesn't score, doesn't assist, fucks team moves up constantly, just a poor big game player who needs too much time to think and doesn't receive it against the top sides.

Rooney as you said requires too much time to think or just fucks things up. Tevez against top sides tends to just dribble into people

not really considering by law they have learn english, french, german and spanish in school Even more to remember then which makes it all the more admirable. I highly doubt you'd be able to speak fluent French at the age of 24, you're still struggling with fucking English despite your age.
