Dzeko - How well did he play?

[mccity]

That bit of skill he did in the 2nd half was top quality too!

 

[the--dud]

Leicester in the cup mid week, although Edin cannot play in that one.

So match against Villa is next weekend!

Funniest thing is the gulf in quality between him and Jo who he was a direct replacement for. I don’t think there is a scale big enough that would aptly measure the difference in ability between these two players.

Well said. Hope Dzeko will bag one next time.

Back on topic - Dzeko looks sensational, fits the team perfectly. Actually suits Tevez having Dzeko in the middle as he can drift and come deeper a lot more. Can't wait to see Dzeko, Tevez and Silva playing 90 minutes together.

Dzeko impressions: Very good movement,very aware,STRONG AS OX,great header,works very hard.He'll fit in perfectly when he gets used to Prem!

 

[BlueSinclair]

Decent debut, but I really didn't except anything less for that price, 7\10.

 

[SkyBlueLion79]

To add to what I said before - he would have been even better if he'd got a little more service - I don't recall Tevez giving him a ball once.

THIS! Tevez is greedy & sometimes slows the play by keeping the ball too much. Still fucking awesome though.

 

[Pam]

but Silva will be slipping balls in for Dzeko and Tevez all game long!

Can't wait to see that. We'll cut through a lot of defences.

 

[jacko-city]

amazed that he managed to fit in that fast and play that well.. considering all the fuss around him lately

I'd say top of the league this lad ;)

 

[ManCityFC]

I thought he was fucking awesome. Looks like a class signing.

I understand that this is his first game but I'm quite disappointed that he failed to score. And he could have done it on two occasions. Would have been a marvelous debut. But maybe I'm expecting a bit too much from him as I'm used to seeing him score in almost every game. On the positive side, it seems that Tevez now have a lot more room to himself due to Dzeko's presence.

hello who are from new players of any team thus adapted?
How had joint training, very little.
for me it was very good.
Tevez is good, but it is selfish.
in my opinion Tevez will have to change the way games.
team is essential and not an individual.

 

[Sigster100]

Pretty good but didn't see him track back!!!!

 

[HazeM3]

Solid performance, i wanted him to score so badddd tho......
I think he was not fit for full game , he may slowed down last 10 minutes and his movement was not as good. But give him couple more games and Dzeko will own

dude, you shouldn't rely on google translate.
and yeah, I also think he was amazing, considering that he still needs to get used to the team.
as for Tevez being selfish - true. if it was Tevez instead of Edin, we wouldn't be able to say both Toure brothers scored.

also, for those who claimed he would need more strength, coming from Bundesliga... scattered some of the Wolves like bowling pins, didn't he?
:) :) :)

 

[BlueBoss]

Agreed, Tevez seemed really greedy at times where he could have passed to Edin easily.

 

[Skashion]

Just wished he could have capped it with a goal. Very pleased.

 

[jacksinhosa]

Looks a very good buy....strong, skillful and a very intelligent footballer

 

[AlthamBlue]

Well impressed. The weight on the pass for YaYa's goal was perfect.

 

[r.soleofsalford]

chuffed to little mint balls. (google that) ;)

 

[ElanJo]

Combine Shevchenko, Ibra and Shearer and you get Dzeko :)

Was impressed. He used the ball very well for 75mins before he tired. Deserved a solid 8/10

 

[Balti]

very encouraging indeed

 

[Tricky Dickys Right Foot Shot]

I said to me dad on the way back home from the match that Dzeko didn't even look like a new player he knew where to pass it who to pass to and was really quick at thinking.

He did everything right the only thing he could of done to complete a perfect debut was score but he'll get his chance soon.

9/10 for me
