Danny Mills discusses the Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra saga, Carlos Tevez's City U-turn and Chelsea's future in his latest TEAMtalk column.

In this week's Mills & Boom column, I give my views on the debate surrounding Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra. In a saga which has been so horribly handled by most people involved, Saturday's events left no-one in a good light in my opinion. I also discuss Carlos Tevez's possible return to Manchester City, Andre Villas-Boas' future and a potential turning point for Arsenal.

Give my latest offering a read and let me know your thoughts in the comments box below - Danny

Suarez can't be defended

The pressing issue of the weekend is of course the events unravelling at Old Trafford on Saturday. Although apologies have since been issued, Kenny Dalglish's interview after the game was just bizarre. There's little more he can do now after apologising, though. He was obviously very angry and clearly handled the whole situation very badly and was visibly riled by the questions, but Luis Suarez was undoubtedly out of order. He misled Liverpool in claiming that he would shake hands with Patrice Evra, and in a game of such magnitude which is basically on the verge of hatred, it will always cause problems.

Evra wrong too

Evra didn't exactly cover himself in glory at the end of the game either, which can't be overlooked. The celebrations were uncalled for and you can't condone it at all. It's certainly understandable as emotions do sometimes take over, but Patrice Evra was clearly in the wrong there. Sir Alex Ferguson rightfully came out and blatantly admonished his captain for his actions, which is commendable. By doing that he put the issue to bed, and that is exactly what Kenny Dalglish should have done. It could even be said that Ferguson, if roles were reversed, would be willing to sell Luis Suarez due to his actions. Ferguson has had to deal with the likes of Eric Cantona and Roy Keane throughout his career, and so would know how to deal with the problem. However, Suarez is clearly a vitally important player for Liverpool at the moment

Saga terribly handled

Liverpool, as a whole, have certainly handled the situation badly. They've supported Suarez throughout the saga and for Suarez to turn around and kick them in the teeth is really poor. Liverpool have backed him all the way, even after the guilty verdict was passed, so it's difficult to take.

Luis Suarez has not dealt with the issue well, having been charged guilty for what he said, which he has indeed admitted. Refusing to shake Evra's hand as a result merely added fuel to the fire, and it was a woefully ignorant action from the Uruguayan. Despite the striker's apology, it's difficult to see whether the two clubs will be able to move on. The next game between the two will be just as spicy.

AVB on limited time

After Chelsea's 2-0 loss away at Everton, it's clear to see that Andre Villas-Boas is under severe pressure at Stamford Bridge. If they don't make it into the top four then I certainly think he'll be gone. Transitional period or not, it doesn't really matter, if Chelsea don't get into the Champions League then Roman Abramovich will wield the axe. Guus Hiddink, who has also been linked to the England job of course, has a public friendship with the owner, and so of course he'd be in the frame if Villas-Boas was to leave. He could possibly come in until the end of the season as he did before.

Redknapp for England? Not for me

As a short mention on the England job, I don't actually think that Harry Redknapp would be wise to take the reins before the Euros. Wayne Rooney will be missing for the first two games, the team is hardly performing well and the situation is chaos. If Redknapp takes the job and England don't proceed past the group stages, he'll be tarnished with that brush for the duration of his career, never mind his relationship with the media and his potential excuses. Part of Harry Redknapp, in my view, would want to start after the Euros as a result.

Tevez return good for everyone

So, exiled Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has been handed a lifeline by Roberto Mancini. It wouldn't surprise me if the City owners have had some influence in Mancini's decision, and just said to him: "Look, we're very close to the Premier League title now. We have this fantastic player available and we're paying him all this money, can we not surely just patch up our differences, even if it's only until the end of the season?"

Considering that City have no other trophy that they're really competing for - the Europa League will make little difference to them - if Mancini doesn't win the league title his job will likely be under threat. The fact that he didn't go in the transfer window now opens the door for Tevez, and if the two of them can agree to disagree and ignore their differences it's a win-win situation for everybody. Manchester City introduce an excellent player back into the fold and Carlos Tevez gets far more playing time to try and earn himself a move in the summer.

Title trumps grudges

Whether or not the Manchester City fans will accept any apology from Carlos Tevez - not that it's forthcoming - will depend on his performances. If he returns, puts in some match-winning performances and helps deliver the title to the blue side of Manchester then he'll be forgiven in a shot. There's no question about that. Tevez has undeniably been bang out of order, but football fans want to win. If he does apologise, however, then he needs to apologise to the owners, the club itself and the fans. Perhaps finally the Carlos Tevez saga will be put to bed for the umpteenth time!

Players will sacrifice

It's difficult to determine what the reaction of the City players will be when Carlos Tevez returns to the club. Football players on the whole are pretty selfish, and so if Tevez comes in and they win the title in May, they won't care one bit about what Tevez has done. They're more interested in winning the title. If they can reintegrate a fantastic player back into the squad then the possibility of that is only increased. There may be one or two players who take exception to Tevez's actions and his return, but we've seen in the past with instances such as Andy Cole and Teddy Sheringham's well-documented poor relationship that football players can put their differences behind them for the sake of the team.

You could certainly understand the reservations of a player such as Edin Dzeko - who has enjoyed much more playing time in Tevez's absence - at the Argentinian's return. But, to reiterate, if the player is good enough and his performances show as such, and if the club itself is reaping the rewards, the players will forget their issues. Players come in and out of a club all of the time, and whether you like them or not you accept that if that player is performing better than you you just have to deal with that. If you want to get in the team you have to improve your own performances.

Credit to Mancini

Another issue arising out of this whole saga is Mancini's infamous claim that Tevez will never play for the club again. It was clear even when it was made that it was a very rash statement from the Italian manager. He shouldn't really have even been allowed to publicly make that admission. The whole incident itself, from a media perspective, was certainly handled incredibly badly. Until all the facts were determined and confirmed, the issue should have been dealt with within the club. We all knew it was a bold statement to make, and it placed him in a predicament. But again, if Mancini accepts the apology and admits his mistakes, says that he has changed his mind and the issue has been dealt with, you have to respect Mancini for that. If Tevez's return means that City have that little extra in the title race, then Mancini will take that risk, and all credit to him.

Poor performance, but points pivotal

To the weekend's action, Manchester City's response to United's pivotal 2-1 victory over Liverpool was vital but unconvincing. Having watched the 1-0 victory over Aston Villa it certainly came across as very chaotic at times. City lacked a midfield general - someone in the mould of Paul Scholes for example - just to calm things down and keep control of the ball. It was a defensive line-up chosen by Mancini also, with James Milner, Nigel De Jong and Gareth Barry all starting. As a result the onus was on Sergio Aguero to create or score the goals. City had some decent chances but lacked the fluency that has encapsulated their season so far. There is a feeling that the pressure is gradually getting to the City camp, and funnily enough you look at the game and think that it's an ideal game in which to play Carlos Tevez and share the goal burden. Mario Balotelli could soon fill that void, and Yaya Toure's long-awaited return will be a massive boost to the team. So no, it wasn't a fantastic performance, and the points were literally saved incredibly by Joe Hart at the end, but the most important factor is that they won and returned to the top of the table.

Turning point for Wenger

And finally, a mention must be saved for Thierry Henry and Arsenal. It's fantastic for both him and the club to come back, and the Frenchman has already intimated that he'd like to return again! But it was unlike Sunderland of late to concede the goal in the dying stages, and it was also interesting that it was Andrey Arshavin with the assist, the man who's come in for so much criticism this season - including from myself. Could this be the turning point for both Arsene Wenger and the club?
