Dzeko's debut

[Vienna_70]

Was the Everton game, when he went down for about five minutes, the same one, in which he scored a fantastic header from around the penalty spot?

Loved edin, he would get a fantastic reception if he came back to play against us, and rightly so, scored a lot of big goals for us, slightly off topic, anyone remember that sitter he missed by the post from a yard out?? Cant think who against, maybe stoke??, he got slaughtered for it, haha

There's a clip of him missing one for Roma on Youtube that is literally unmissable. What is amazing is that one of the opposition defenders appears to throw up his arms in despair!! You will roll around laughing, I promise you. It's funny when it's not for City!

Yep, that was it. God I saw that match on telly in a pub just south of Euston station. The last fifteen minutes were pure torture.

Scored key goals at important times in big games. Sterling could do with learning this knack

What, do you mean like the one against Southampton during the 18- game winning run?

Raheem really fucked that one up, didn't he?

Just noticed, watching that back on the OS, that three Everton players, including Lukaku, are slightly but noticeably offside for Lukaku's goal. Would definitely have been ruled out had VAR existed.
Also, Vin's reaction after they took the lead: not phased, not ruffled, just "Right lads, a minor blip. Now let's get on with this." God, how I miss his leadership. We really haven't replaced him.

I actually think we might have...and we got him young!

Other than his first touch trying bring a ball under control, Edin was a big threat. Like many big strikers, he looked a bit gawky at times, but he could score, and gallop, and scored some crackers for us.

His header against QPR was vital to the belief it might actually be possible...and it was!

However, it is a little disconcerting to know the fastest he ever moved on the pitch for City was chasing Sergio after the 3rd goal!

Dias? It would be nice. I don't think he's quite there as a leader, yet. Not actually sure how good his English is?
Just happy for the minute with how he's made our defence the hardest to score against in the league. What a turnaround. Boring, boring City.
