Dzeko

[manseetee]

I'm kind of worried that we'll end up having the same problems as Real Madrid had with their first edition of the Galacticos... Team full of stars playing for themselves and not the team...

Well lets think about some specific things before people begin to criticize Dzeko.. I realized then when the corner kicks are being taken, Silva searches for the smallest player on the pitch for some reason and that is Tevez, when you have Dzeko a 6'4 Player waiting in the box which is extremely good in the air, but no apparently Tevez in 7'0 and is god.. Another thing is when Tevez or Silva get the ball they don't see any other player besides them selves and Silva/Tevez and the goal. So it's pass to Silva/Tevez and not a pass that would benefit the team, which would be to pass to the wings and get crosses in for Dzeko.. Another thing is just like how someone said in another thread, No Service=No Goals for Dzeko.. He needs Tevez to stop being selfish and LEARN HOW TO PASS THE BALL. Plenty of cases where he didn't pass when he needed to, like in the final play of the game that got the Free Kick, wasn't a free kick but still got it awarded for some reason... I strongly believe we should sell Silva and Tevez and bring in players that know how to pass the ball and don't only care about their careers, but where the club could finish in..

Bloody hell we missed out there.
We should have swapped them for Charlie Adam. He can pass a ball.
But will he get you 20 odd goals a season?

I'm not saying that Adam is good, because passing the ball is the only thing he's able to do, but what use are the 20 Tevez goals if the team can score 40... Do you see where I'm getting at?

I can't believe ppl here are suggesting that we sell Tevez, but it's a fact that he's been selfish in the 3 games he played with Dzeko.

ffs....give it time....Dzeko is the foil at the moment....in a few weeks all will click

I remember an action where Tevez got the ball on the left wing, it was a two vs three situation where the center of the field was free... Dzeko cut down on the left side and Tevez, instead of passing it to him, cut inside trying to break through the 2-3 Birmingham defenders. He lost the ball. If he gave it to Dzeko, the kid would have had a highway to the goal. It would have looked as all those goals we see on youtube from him...

That's what I'm saying, but I'm also adding that Tevez has to accept that there is other players who are important to the team but himself. Or maybe does he only pass the ball to Silva becausehe's the only one he can understand. xDxD

I remember Tevez putting Silva through only for silva to mess up,Tevez looked at him and like god i wish id gone it alone!Silva 3 player of the months awards plenty of assists but not scoring enough.Dzeko needs a left footed left winger and right footed right winger firing quality balls in.Its worked ok for the rags the last 20 years.

 

[Huckerby's Hair]

He's played 4 games and people are already writing him off sort ur fuckin lives out the guys gonna be class. look how long berbatov took to settle in at united and hes scoring for fun now. give the guy a chance!

This can very much be true....

Anyway...I've heard some people say that Silva is best used in the middle...maybe, but how many have followed him before he came to City? He couldn't play in the middle for Valencia because they had Baraja there and other players so Silva mostly came from the wing (left or right-swapped places with their other winger) he has the pace, can dribble so put him there...

Tevez selfish as he is, can play behind Dzeko so when he sees that defenders have outnumbered him and will take the ball off him which happens 7 times out of 10 he might punt the ball forward to Dzeko so he can have a go at it...

Milner (in his patch of bad form) can also play on the wing left or right so he is the player (until AJ is fit) to swap position with Silva...

Get Barry and NDJ behind or Yaya instead of one of them and let the team play...this would open space up for Dzeko, wouldn't need to drop back so much to get the ball, and crosses would be flying in from both side so there you have the service...that would bring the best out of the lad...

And to touch on Mancini a bit...his 3 DM wall is useless...I've watched inter play under him, my best mate is an inter fan so I watched a lot of matches with...he (Mancini, never used 3 DMs, only had Cambiaso) he was crushed by Arsenal like that, so he's afraid of playing differently, he want to keep a clean sheet and if his team scores the better, but since Dzeko's inclusion he had to shift the system (but is unwilling to), he knows he can't continue playing with 3 DMs because the team suffers, no creativity and completely pointless attacking movement...and I know many will come and say, what do you know, he's the manager, he has won his titles...yes he did, after Juventus were stripped off theirs and send to serie b and Milan were penalized, and the year after he had no real competition as Juve weren't there and Milad had 7 or 9 points taken off at the start...his champions league achievements are, well, no other way of putting it, none...

He needs to get one of his (I'm afraid of English football) DMs re-shape he squad a bit and get more service for Dzeko...he doesn't have the confidence yet, Mancini knows his quality but has yet no trust in him...and one more thing...if he continues on like this (Mancini) you'll be having a new manager at the end of the season, Hiddink or Mourinho are my pics...

One great run down the flanks in the last few games by Richards.

Where did it end up?

On Dzeko's foot and in the back of the net. 'nuff said really, give him the service and he will score. How he is being blamed is startling, he is doing everything he can with very little support. Whose solo run won us the free kick that Kolarov scored yesterday?
