Dzeko - How well did he play?

Im laughing at the club that sold him for 25,000 because they thought he was crap. They must feel like they lost the winning lottery ticket.

Club managment at that time was more than crap.
Manager which put Dzeko to the first squad was sacked, and that was it.
 
Dzeko did what Dzeko was supposed to do. To be honest, first half he was like a stray sheep, but second half like he turned to a wolf hunter. He created a lot of space for Tevez, and although Tevez was a bit selfish I think that they will become unstoppable Dynamic Duo. Great team play.

8/10

Deep down he, like the rest of the world, knows the score when he's not been forced to read from a piece of paper given to him by Gary Cooke

How is Bebe the hobo getting on?

i thought he was really good second half, he struggled to get into it in the first half, but so did everyone else. in the second 45, he has some lovely touches, got a good assist for yayas goal, which was an absolutely breathtaking move. im really impressrfwith him, and you can see there is more to come from him
 
thought he had a sketchy first half, both centre-backs were both constantly nudging and pushing him in the back trying to make him feel uncomfortable, which he didn't rise to.

second half he got straight into it, he enjoyed himself, linked up with everyone especially tevez, he did some neat first touches and held the ball up just as good as anyone i've seen, with time he's gonna be a force for us, can't wait to see him settle in and bang some goals in.

only downfall was his horrific dive to win a free-kick from zabs throw-in, near the dug out second half on the touchline, was awful, but yeah he's class and looks the part.
 
Three players around Dzeko, there will be a lot of space for tavez this season :)

This. Already the best traditional #9 I've seen at City. They say this guy has everything, and d'ya know what? I saw glimpses of everything. Passing, creativity, shooting, quick thinking, quick feet, aerial ability. No disappointment. I hope he builds from here because if he does, it's all ours. All of it.

selflessness is a quality you don't often see in a striker and he definitely has it. Would put the ball on a platter to a teammate rather than take a lower percentage go at goal (harsh to have the slightest dig at Tevez after a brace!). He left a great first impression on me. Hopefully next week at Villa we see Tevez/Dzeko/Silva.

also it's no coincidence he played better when Tevez started playing with him/slightly behind him instead of out on the left that Carlos played the first 20-30 mins.
 
- strong on the ball. excellent ball protection
- skilled. can take a pass, and not panic.
- good passer. surprised me actually, has a firm crisp pass and a deft touch as well
- good pace
- he megged a guy lol
- no goals, but you know that will come
- can link up play in transition. not a static player, willing to push the ball
- won balls in the air

8/10 very good for a debut with a new club, lack of match fitness general lack of fitness
 
dzeko played well today. but he needs time to get used to the players around him, and the way they play. dzeko has never been selfish with the ball (23 assists for wolfsburg), and that is a great thing for the team. (more goals)

8/10 today.
 
The best thing about Dzeko, as those who have been following him for a while already know, is how noticably his game improves and matures over time.

This Dzeko, in terms of multifacettness of what he does, is a level above Dzeko of a year ago, two levels above Dzeko of two years ago, and I can hardly wait to see what he is bound to be doing in a couple of months once he fully settles in the team!
 
7/10

It's his first game in a new league, new country, with new team mates and after a winter break. Nearly every player needs time to adjust. Even Tevez needed time down West Ham. The only exception to the rule is Fernando Torres. Scored in his first ever game, against Mourinho's Chelsea, no less!! Torres is the quickest player to reach/have scored 50 goals in the Premier League history. I know he's out of form now but it does make you appreciate him as a player. When he out muscled Vidic and Terry, I would still have him here in a heartbeat, if Tevez goes at the end of this season.
