That is not true, in fact it's positively insulting
We had a really tough CL game and cup final to come

Well we won at least.
Dzeko needs to stop being so mentally weak. i dunno, if he has not developed a strong mentality by now will he ever ?
Anyway we won, Pelle will have a few words no doubt, onwards....

I don't think we should drag his personal life into this.
He should have a word with Pele.

For what it's worth I thought today's match was reminiscent of many last season where we struggled to break down stubborn and resistant opposition. TBH, my heart sank when I saw the team sheet and Dzeko was paired with Negredo. In view of the majority opinion on that pairing, I think all that needs to be said has been. I saw a stat that suggested that Dzeko suffers less as a result of being paired with Negredo than Negredo does and if today doesn't prove that point, I don't know what will. When it really effects us is when Dzeko returns to his static worst as both our strikers are then negated.
Today was an ideal opportunity to see Negredo, Jovetic, Nasri and Silva start and I think this was an opportunity missed albeit we saw it briedly in the 2nd half which coincided with us turning our dominance into clear cut chances.
I was gutted when Jovetic had to go off but I believe the significant turning point for us was the removal of Negredo. I would have preferred to see Dzeko go, but at least with one striker being removed it meant Yaya could move further forward and it's this that resulted in our solitary goal.
We've had 2 massive matches in the space of 7 days which have taken their toll, but at least unlike Barca who also looked jaded tonight and lost 3-1, we got the victory. Pellegrini's substitutions turned a certain draw into a victory but he made life difficult for us in the first place by selecting Dzeko & Negredo to start which clearly doesn't work.
Anyway, we get a week off and hopefully it will give the players time to recuperate and for the walking wounded time to heal in time for Wembley. We shouldn't underestimate Sunderland and hopefully we won't have to endure seeing Dzeko and Negredo start again as its clearly obvious we have better and more effective options.
All said and done a win is a win and that's what counts at the business end of the season.
