Whilst some Manchester City fans have begun to question Carlos Tevez's contribution following his controversial move from you know where, Emmanuel Adebayor is full of praise for his fellow striker.
Tevez has been in and out of the side, has struggled to find his shooting boots – but Adebayor is always happier when he’s got his pal alongside him.
"We all know how good Carlos is," said Adebayor. "He came in on Saturday, was 100 per cent professional and showed what a fine player he is.
"He was fighting for the team, defending and keeping the ball, and when he came on it made it easier for us. I was finding it hard, and him coming on made it better for me, and easier for the team."
Tevez scored 34 goals in 99 games for Manchester United, and during his spells with Boca Juniors and Corinthians in South America bagged 57 goals in 128 matches.
He’s got four in 12 for City, and Adebayor reckons there’s more to come from the Argentine international.
"Carlos is a striker and maybe people have been asking why he is not scoring a lot of goals," said the big front man.
"At the moment he is not getting the chance to find the net every single game, but he is a good player and maybe he will start finding the net on Saturday. When he does, he might just keep scoring. We all know how good he is at the training ground, he always shows his desire and he is a talented player.
"Maybe he just needs a little confidence to start scoring goals."
