I would imagine that after a few poor results this whole three defensive mids thing will change and Tevez will have a striker to play off of.

Hmm, be interesting to see what happens once teams learn to deal with the extra man in the middle/Man City come up against organised teams. Like Tottenham last week they were toothless up front due to how deep Tevez naturally wants to come. It allows the Defence and Midfield to squeeze together and keep a good bank of 4 together.
When Adebayor came on, he was always pushing forward, pushing the defensive line back, making a gap between the defence and midfield that a Tevez could use. Plus, he was in the area to win balls and benefit from the crosses.

Yeah, it certainly did open them up a bit when Ade came on, there were points where I think Tottenham just wanted escape with a draw in the last ten minutes because of the increase of pressure.
