For those that claim the likes of Benarbia and myself only see Dzeko when out there. You couldnt be more wrong, we see the team. We haven't supported City since January and Dzeko signed like many of those contributing anger and petty insults in this thread. If and when Dzeko leaves us you will all leave with him. I suggest it is those that have decided to support us in the last few weeks that only see Dzeko.
My concern is for the team and he does not fit our system in the premier league. We cant provide him with the ammunition he needs with the injuries we have. Dzeko has many strengths, we are however not currently playing to them. He does not fit into a slow tempo passing game where close control is necessary. We need to stretch the game to get him involved and hit him with crosses. As Freestyler suggested. He received none yesterday. This is not a fault of Edins, but we cannot be adopting a whole new system at this late stage of the season and risk blowing our top four chances. We can however play without him in our system like we have pre January and I really hope we stop trying to shoe horn him into the side whilst the like of Balo and Tevez are fit. Its no coincedence Tevez hasnt even got near the goal in the last couple of games with Dzeko in his position. We played much better when Edin went off yesterday and thats unfortunate for him but until the likes of AJ are fit he is going to really struggle.
I imagine if you were to ask straight up to Bluemoon now, if you could choose only one of Tevez and Dzeko to start 90% would choose Carlos and the other 10% would be those who voted Dzeko player of the month for January.
