Hey Diehard et al.
I'm not sure whether Dzeko has been injured or not, but the fact is he's had very little time in the warm up games and so can't possibly be up to match fitness and sharpness.
We all rightly question his overall control and vision, but it is clear to anyone with a TV or a Season ticket that he IS a good finisher when he plays regularly. I don't hear anyone getting on Sergio's case for missing a far easier chance.
Dzeko since joining here is the most slagged player on the team (up there with Kolarov, NDJ, and AJ). Simple as that.
There was a stretch near the end of last season where Aguero was non-existent for about a month - yet it was mostly failed to be mentioned. Tevez fucked off to Argentina for 9 months - but he was proclaimed God instantly after one assist to Nasri. Balotelli almost single-handedly destroyed club's season with his last bone-headed red-card, yet he is a hero.
Apart from Bayern, Dzeko did EVERYTHING right last season, scored one of two most important goals in teams history - yet he is the one who gets all the shit all the time.
It's the way of this board, unfortunately.
There is not another player with this many threads on here, most of them complete thrashing of the guy.[/quote]
Does that not tell you something then?
If the whole forum seems to agree that he isn't quite good enough then there must be something to it?
I think most posters on here agree that Dzeko is a good, likeable guy. No one hates him like you seem to think.
Do you honestly believe that Dzeko is better than any of Aguero, Balotelli and Tevez?
