Dzeko (Merged)

Re: Dzeko

he doesnt fit intot he system we play, its as simple as that

therefore why did we buy him???????

he cannt play as a loan striker, and he needs wingers which we dont have/dont play

he is slow, cannt create anything for himself, cannt take a man on and it doesnt look like he links with tevez very well either

if/when tev leaves in the summer we are going to hae to get a new striker cause we cannt rely on this guy that is for sure

What annoys me is you will get responses to this saying "we've got to play to his strengths, his style of play, get balls in etc etc."

A Quality striker, costing that kind of money, WILL have more strings to his bow, he will have more styles of play than just one.

Exactly.

I don't think he's a bad player,any striker similar in stature and style would look like a donkey in our set up.

Mancini has made some very 'odd' purchases and not addressed glaring areas of weakness - that is a fact,whether it costs him his job remains to be seen.

Re: Dzeko

Dzeko will score 20 goals at least next season.But that will mean a different style of play which includes crossing the ball as a key element.

Or, we change the system to make sure we get the best out of him. All he's missing is a decent supply into the box. That's it. Have you ever wondered why Tevez has been so successful for us? Because we play to his strengths, built the team around him. If he were to leave and we were to give Dzeko the same treatment I think he'd have a similar effect.

He should have more to his game then one style of play. Tevez gets a lot of goals for himself, makes them on his own. A striker worth that much can not have one style of play.

I'll wager that you wouldn't take a £20 bet on that ! All the best players when it comes down to it can go and get themselves a goal, Dzeko doesn't have the ability to do that.

we will have to invest in wide men which is a complete reversal from where we are now.

Great Post, but it depends on so many things. Dzeko is "unproven" if you compare him to Tevez, and Mancini need a complete backup Plan to hold his Job.

The best thing what could happen for everybody is a Transfer.

Defoe for Dzeko. He would fit Spuds instantly. Defoe could be a great Backup for Tevez.

I forgot this, ^^

Ohhhh - this is what I'm talking about!!

See - sheer amount of STUPIDITY of this post is breath-taking. Post as stupid as this makes you just lose all your will to discuss anything with human beings, period :-)

Man how DUMB you have to be to think that Bundesliga is so SHIT compared to the Prem that bundesliga's LEADING SCORER 'does not have ability to score a goal'?

Seriously, how fucking dumb are you? Wow. Where do they make this kind of genius?

Absolute rubbish. Did you never watch him play before he came to us? You dont score fun fun in the bundesliga and Champions League if you dont have the ability to create and score goals

The current system of play is pass the ball upfield to tevez/silva and hope they produce a moment of magic

we need to integrate wingers into our team and involve all 11 players more, rather than focusing on a handfull of players

Re: Dzeko

From what I remember from his goals on Youtube not many were from crosses.

All from crosses. Granted he scores some spectacular goals on his own out of nothing but he needs service.

Re: Dzeko

It's no suprise most of dzeko's goals come from wide areas.

he can also score and create opportunities himself without receiving balls from wide areas.

he just needs decent service, that's all.

when AJ get's back in team, dzeko will become alot more active in this side, and hopefully even tevez might pass to him every now and again.

Re: Dzeko

Take a look at this picture:

On the left you can see Dzeko's movement in today's game. On the right is his movement while he was in Wolfsburg. Hopefully you're gonna figure out the rest.

He is not supposed to come and pick the ball by himself. He needs to get the ball.

Also, I just wanna say how surprised I am by the amount of negativity you express toward your own team and players and how little you know about football tactics. It seems like the average member of this forum is 15 years old. Totally immature!
And yes, I am Bosnian.

Re: Dzeko

The depressing thing about dzeko is he hasn't really shown a glimmer of anything. Just looks very very average. I'm starting to feel sorry for him he is obviously trying but Luis and terry were smoking hamlets marking him yesterday

i'm thinking aj will start every game from now on so hopefully some service will reach edin and we might see what we have bought.
we had a glimpse of what he is capable of in the notts county away game with the right service.

Re: Dzeko

Dzeko hasn't got the pace to play with a midfield that plays so deep, Mancini's Tactics and Signings don't suit each other, the man is either a poor judge of player or has some grand plan to change the whole team around.

Re: Dzeko

What's kind of lost in all this rubbish is that Edin had a pretty good game yesterday, especially in the first half. If you know football you saw it.

People knocking him for unsuccessful 1 on 1 with Luiz yesterday, but the fact is that such thing HAPPENS to any forward. You don't always win that kind of matchup - if you did, your top scorers would have 60-70 goals a season :-) Jesus, Tevez runs straight into oposing defenders at least 2-3 times each game - but noone even mentions that... I find that very funny. On top of that - Luiz was playing lights out and that mofo shut down anybody coming at him, and more.

Some people are being unbeleivably unfair to Dzeko, emphasizing every little mistake of his while not even seeing the positives when he plays...It's just a damn shame.

 

[Bluemoon115]

Re: Dzeko

Dzeko.

Put 2 or 3 crosses in for him, he'll score one, maybe 2.

Yesterday he had one real chance made for him.

He isn't Tevez. he doesn't play deep, make runs wide, and create chances for others. He's a finisher, and a fucking good one at that.

But he looks poor, because we have no-one putting half decent crosses in.

Re: Dzeko

He just got ripped into on motd...

Strange that £50m striker from Chelsea who had a poor game didn't get slated too on MOTD?

he had much better game than Dzeko and showed his pace and ability several times. Dzeko has no pace whatsoever and thats a big no no in the PL
