Edin Dzeko and RVP compared

[Comrade Buka]

Come to think of it, I would question the purchase of Edin to begin with. Same as everyone was laughing at Pep signing Ibra.

If you want to play tippy-tappy, why the flying f*ck, would you buy Ibra or Dzeko?

Or did Mancini just establish recently that molasses possession build-up play was the future?

Does that reflect poorly on Edin, who took Wolfsburg to Bundesliga victory while scoring 26 goals, or the Italian?

However, Edin does have a shite first touch. However, however, about which no fucks are given.

.

if his first touch is that bad that the ball runs on and is picked up by the opposition and any attacking play has broke down and gives away possession, i'd say i'd give a fuck about that being important ??

i like Dzeko, i think he's a very good player, but he's not great yet.

Nothing wrong with the statistic. Did I say it was nonsense? I said statistics can be used to prove anything. Having a better minutes per goal ratio means nothing whatsoever.

If you have played a decent amount of minutes, it does actually mean something, despite you saying the opposite.

But Dzekos stats are clearly buoyed by coming off the bench and scoring late on, something that he seems adept to. So he comes on when the other team may be tired because of our possession stats and scores a goal in the 15 minutes he has come on for.

Do a comparison on goals per minute when starting on RVP and Dzeko.

Players who come off the bench tend to have a better goals per minute ratio than you might think such as little pea and Le Fondre.

Makes you wonder why the genius Italian is starting Dzeko at all, doesn't it...<br /><br />-- Wed Feb 13, 2013 7:03 pm --<br /><br />

I'll take goals over first touch. Goals tend to win you titles.

Someone post Le Fondres minutes per game. Its probably better than Messi's.

Exactly

 

[Dzeko & Hyde]

Statistics can be used to prove anything.

What part of 99 minutes per goal, compared to 111, is it you think is statistical nonsense?

Having a better minutes per goal ratio means nothing whatsoever.

I'm pretty sure that means Dzeko scores more often than RVP.

 

[taconinja]

Just a show of hands please. How many top managers would take Dzeko over Van Persie?

Not exactly. Messi scores about twice as often as Le Fondre. (57.5 vs 102.9).

look Dzeko can score goals and can play a bit sometimes but at 26 million i would hope so so im not calling him but Van Persie is simply a CLASS footballer and Dzekos not, Dzeko scores a lot of goals from the bench Van Persie would never be on the bench, he alone got Arsenal into champions league last year and was bought to win united the title back and looks to of done just that, ive said before stats tel us we would be better off having peter crouch up front for England over Shearer and like someone said on this thread i use my eyes

Lol the haters still slaging dzeko off even when stats are presented. VAN PERSI HAS 50 wingers pumping balls into the box every other minute and still dzeko is close to rvp in conversion rate when he gets fuk all service. this shows dezko is just as good if played to his strengths which has not happened.<br /><br />-- Wed Feb 13, 2013 10:03 pm --<br /><br />
