It's quite obvious the lad has a lack of confidence. After he scored today, he was absolutely flying. Trapped the ball batter, made some class touches and little flicks, he was all over the place.
He was thriving off that goal and it suddenly brought him to life. You could see before the goal, that extra little bit of belief wasn't there. After he got the goal, he started working harder and putting more effort it.
It shouldn't have to be like that, but you can tell he probably wants the ground to open and swallow him every time he makes a bad pass or misses a chance. The fans get on his back too much and he hears it, today Silva gifted QPR their goal but no one will say anything cause it was Silva. Imagine if that was Dzeko that tried to be smart and dribble the ball out....
It's easy to spot why Dzeko isn't exactly at his best for us, he's being used as a target man all the time and other players play off him. At Wolfsburg it was the other way round, he would play off the strikers and be fed everything.
After today he'll feel good about himself, got a goal and the last 20 minutes he played like his old self. He's got himself yet another important goal, maybe just maybe he needs a 4-5 run of games in the side. But we all know that won't happen, so you can't fault why he is so inconsistent. Even when he does get on, he has 10 minutes to do something, crowsd need to get off his back. Today people were shouting abuse at him when he lost the ball. reminded me of 2006 all over again. It was crossing the line, you'd think he was a rag.
Get behind him and look past the little negatives, it's not his fault we play different. It's not his fault Mancini deploys him as he does, we saw in early 2011 season that he can be a class act. He'll re discover that with game time and more confidence he get's after each game.
