He made mistakes and isn't playing with confidence. But the biggest noises in the ground apart from the goals came when Edin miscontrolled it, which is a fucking joke for me.
Support? Yeah right! People can't wait to slate him.
Vincent hasn't played well yet this season and the way he showed Johnson inside for QPR's goal was school boy stuff, yet there weren't people slamming their seats down to make a big banging noise ("look at me i can make a loud noise at the footy") and shouting "that's fucking shit Kompany" like they do when Edin merely miscontrols the ball or stands off-side.
Get behind him for fuck's sake!

But, yes I agree I don't think you can argue that tevez and aguero would be first choice. I just think people go overboard, and as mentioned you can clearly feel an attitude in the crowd when dzeko miscontrols or miss places a pass that it validates their feeling he's crap. Yet the same situation with different players passes unnoticed as its an accepted part of football.
Ballotelli as well is clearly class and 'unplayable' on his day and I'm just so happy we have all 4. The people saying watch match of the day it'll be better cause we'll only see the goals - there are plenty of top strikers that miss chances and mess up and I suspect if we brought in one of these players we'd get to know they're not 100% accurate goal machines either. If we're being realistic who else would be that much better than dzeko and willing to play second fiddle that it would be worth getting rid?
We're champions and everyone's played a role - we've got 4 of the best strikers in the world/Europe.
What's not to love.

EaglesFan said:The entire point of this thread, as the name suggests - was to cut Edin some break in appreciation for what he did for this club already in his time here.
But guess that's not happening - so might as well delete the thread :-)
Never did I say he is flawless - just that a lot of fans here go way overboard with their comments.
People bash me for "worshipping" him but the truth is - for those same people Dzeko can never have a good game so that tells the whole story.
If you dont like him-fine, just refrain from nasty comments about the lad and it will do...
Just sayin'.

Im sorry but even after he scored yesterday we still found ourselves kicking chairs as somehow he managed to stray offside when tevez slipped him in and he never saw the flag and missed a sitter which was one on one. we cant afford to miss changes like that its simple.
