Funnily enough, it's a team game and sometimes strikers have to do some fucking work. Look at Tevez. Look at Aguero. Look at Drogba and Henry who between them have been the best example of forward play in the last decade. They worked their bollocks off for the cause. They didn't "just get in on the end of crosses as that's their job".MSP said:SWP's back said:Yes if, like last night, we need a striker to hold the fucking ball up to allow the midfield to gain a foothold when we are under the cosh.
Some people have a very simplistic view of football if they think a striker should only be able to score goals. All our strikers can do that, why do you think Mancini issued a 2 or 3 minute bollocking to him with 15 minutes to go when a Liverpool player was getting treatment. He wasn't working hard enough.
No, we needed midfield to hold the fucking ball and bring it to strikers as that's their fucking job
As I say, Mancini bollocked him for long enough for this very reason.
You are right about and he is SHIT in that category, but YOU CANT compare a striker who is 192cm and a striker who is 171-172cm's. The Tevez/Aguero/Bellamy body types will ALWAYS give you a better/different working rate as to TALLER strikers. IMO you guys are used to to this type of players and Aguero fits the 2 previous strikes such as Tevez and Bellamy. In Dzeko you will never get that and you should cope with that and move on to the things that he's good at.
Hopefully Balo won't be injured or suspended anymore and we will not have these useless forums about DZEKO every single day as he will be warming the BENCH.
