Dzeko [Merged]

Re: Dzeko

I'm not going to defend Dzeko's performance today. It was poor just like the rest of the team.

I am, however, extremely disappointed with the disrespect he gets for not being superman. When teams park the bus it is difficult for anyone to score or create chances. None of the other players did much better against West Brom either.

The point I will make is that Dzeko to mee is already a proven player having followed him since he first joined Wolfsburg. He does seem to go hot and cold but I don't doubt his class or skill. He's not a player who will dribble his way through a defense like today, that player does not exist.

I believe he has lost a lot of confidence and probably due to the system he plays in as well as the fan reaction to his every touch. He was always known as a clinical finisher before he joined City. He showed flashes of his prior self earlier this seasons as well when he scored in first 5 games and was in top form, but the Bayern game seems to have taken it out of him.

Some say that this shouldn't matter. I honestly think he would flourish in a system like Spurs or United where the crosses and ball delivery comes through channels early and quickly rather than passing to death and slowing it down all the time.

Anyway, we should get behind all the players and support them if we want to win the League.

That's a well argued post with a lot of sense in it. He's done best, as I said, where he's had time and space. But the one thing that no one could have really legislated for was how he (or the team as a whole) could perform against teams that get 10 men behind the ball constantly.

i think your asking a lot of the peabrain fuckers to get behind the team, isnt it much more fun to go into self destruct mode.

Well argued post, I didn't agree with every single point but still a good post nonetheless.

Re: Dzeko

Seems a few agree that he needs games, but that leaves questions about if he will get the time. Sad we are discussing it at all, such is the scapegoat situation that every team has apart from probably Nazareth FC (fronted by Christ with Moses parting defences like the Red Sea in the middle).

I'd play him every game, personally. I really do rate him. My one and only gripe with Mancini this season is that he dropped him after such a good start. But that's how we roll these days.

Re: Dzeko

I'm Bosnian and I've been following City because of Dzeko, just to declare that before a knee-jerk comment is hurled my way. Of course I have a certain bias because he's a Bosnian player and at the end of the day I care deeply about how well he performs because he represents a very nation on a global level.

That doesn't mean I don't care how well City play because the two are not mutually exclusive.

Aguero and Balotelli have been better in the last month or so, but Dzeko was better than Balotelli at the beginning of the season, and the statistics support it. I think Mancini isn't to blame and it would be unfair to blame the manager for rotating players in order to maximize their effectiveness on a weekly basis. He plays the team he views is best at the moment.

Its up to Edin to win his place in the starting 11 and I believe he has the ability to do so. In the coming weeks there will be further opportunities for him to prove himself and to prove the haters wrong. He's a fantastic player to have on the team and I believe the fans will once again see that when he hits his stride.

Go City!

Re: Dzeko

^^^ How many games do we give him not scoring goals, for him to find his form?

Do we write off the league for this season, so we can build up his confidence ?

I don't fucking think so.

If your a top striker you dont miss as many chances as Dzeko does...
BASED ON THE LAST FIVE GAMES WHO WOULD YOU SOONER HAVE ADE/TEVEZ OR DZEKO?

So its the fans fault or the way we play that causes he to miss from 6 yards out, time and time again?
