Edin Dzeko (continued)

[Centurions]

Nobody bar Yaya, Sergio, Negrado and Nasri. Whoever plays the highest up front for us should score a bagful.

Crosses tend to get blacked a lot and often need hight. He is bobbins in the air as he can't make decent contact with his head. The few headers he has scored have been either off the top or back of his head flukes or the 'keeper has been off balance - bar one when he was running in against Blackburn to make it 4-0.

Name one other player in our squad who would have scored the shoulder-high volley against spurs last season - with his weaker foot. The near post snapshots from a tight angle, beyond the near post ( can't remember the game but he scored 2 of them) . The left foot screamer away at spurs. The left foot screamer into the top corner at home about 6 weeks ago (can't remember who that was against either) from Kolarov's pull back. Dzeko is a top striker. Open your eyes .

*Whistles nonchalantly*

THAT'S ENTIRELY MY BLOODY POINT.

The teams that he has really stood out against are 90% teams from the lower third of the table over his entire career here. This isn't good enough for a man who cost £27m. He's the Bosnian Darren Bent.

And yet again you needed him to score against a team from the lower third of the table to win the premier league...

*Continues nonchalant whistling*

Ahh, but they don't count for some unknown obscure reason or possibly some unknown obscure made up stats. So there.

Message to those who rate Dzeko: Chill - it doesn't matter what someone on a forum thinks, right now Pellegrini thinks he's our number 1 healthy striker.

Message to those who don't rate Dzeko: Maybe you should be sending all your reasons why he's not good enough to Pellegrini, rather than posting on a forum. I'm sure if you all got together and let Pellegrini know the level of your football knowledge and your standing on Bluemoon, he's bound to have a rethink.

Of course, if either side just enjoys winding up the other, then carry on, because that's pretty much all that's being achieved here (as entertaining as that can be at times).

 

[fishandchips]

Milner is the player who provided mosts assists for Dzeko. This means that Dzeko likes to play with wingers.

I hate it when I see Nasri and Silva behind Dzeko, it doesn't work ...

I hope this was intentional irony lol

Stats are obscure when they favor Dzeko.

I'll have to plead unintentional, I'm afraid, and then allow you to explain the irony in it (and then we can discuss that for a bit...).

Are you not entertained?

 

[aguero93:20]

It's not really that impressive he's made it onto that list jasmin, we once went half a season without scoring at home and had a revolving door for strikers.
