Tevez had been underperforming since the 2010 World Cup, up until this last season, where he seemed to have turned it all around. I think Tevez's form should have warranted a place in the side.

My point is regardless of ability, if you've got a bad apple in the squad, it can easily destroy morale. Look at the Dutch and French in recent years, and in the latter case Nasri definitely deserved a place at least in the squad if not the team, but was omitted as Deschamps felt that if he was not playing every game he would be a cancer to the squad.
That's what Tevez is: on ability, without question a good player, as a squad member, if he doesn't get his way he is a liability.
