Re: Dzeko

What a bunch of whining football illiterates on Dzeko's back - sweet Jesus, to have you critique him is like having Paris Hilton reviewing Shakespeare.

Because he was clearly excellent today wasnt he?

There was one thing I saw from him today that I hope we can put him in those situations more often and it was the back header. It was instinctive.

When he gets time, he is slow and indecisive. When he doesnt have time to think about it he looks dangerous. Case in point was in the two one on ones with Luiz, he was eaten for breakfast. He couldnt beat a man if his life depended on it right now. He needs snap decisions where he does it on instinct and reflex rather than intelligence. We are only getting flashes from him at the moment and it is not good enough i'm afraid. That is not to say others arent pulling their weight as well, but this is a thread about Dzeko and not the rest.

Did you expect him to instantly adapt to a new league in a new country?

Re: Dzeko

Dzeko thrives on crosses. One of the best headers in Europe yet we don't have one player who can cross a ball to him.

We desperately needed a winger in January if Dzeko was to suceed.

Re: Dzeko

Still better than 50m Torres even with these ineffective performances.

You got to be kidding?
I'm saving my main judgement of him till next season.
But from when ever i have seen him this season.
He's lazy, slow and for the size of the shithouse.
Can't win or direct an header if he tried.

Re: Dzeko

I normally defend him but today he was just meh....nothing more. Constantly just bobbed the ball of his head to no one. never completed a pass it seemded. Hope he gets better I thought he would take Balos recent status to make his place but didnt see it today

Re: Dzeko

1. won 98% of the balls given to him in the air, he won the header no one there, is that his fault?

2. held the ball up well, turned defenders so many times with a good first touch.

3. always wanted the ball, carried the ball, made space for others.

4. he gave it away 3-4 times, not on his own is he?

5. NEVER ONCE HAD ANY SUPPORT FROM MIDFIELD AS A LONE PLAYER

6. NEVER ONCE GOT SUPPLIED WITH A DECENT BALL FROM MIDFIELD

7. NEVER ONCE GOT ANY SUPPORT WHEN HE HAD THE BALL

8. NEVER ONCE RECIEVED A CROSS FROM OPEN PLAY ALL GAME

9. HAD ONLY ONCE CHANCE ALL GAME TO RUN AT THE DEFENCE

10. YOU DON'T SUPPLY YOUR STRIKER, HE WON'T SCORE

11. Once again today we were crying out for another attacking midfielder

Sense!

Honestly, we play too narrow to get the best out of Dzeko. He looked extremely isolated today, and that wasn't his fault.
