Edin Dzeko (continued)

Jovetic is looking "good" to you (and Dzeko bad)? when exactly did he convince you of this? All I know is that he's prone to injuries (like Sergio and Alvaro) and that he was average at best against Chelsea.

Dzeko is not the type of striker who seizes the ball at midfield, dribble/sprints towards the opponents goal on his own and then scores. Even Messi and Ronaldo are rarely able to do this, and against Chelsea's defense probably even less likely.

Dzeko needs the midfielders and wingers to work with him, create chances for him. This obviously didn't happen against Chelsea, and now some say that Dzeko doesn't work well with City's style of play. Which style would that be? LoL

You mean like the 3/4 chances created for him Monday whereby he resorted to his usual Johnny wilkinson impression?

Ffs, you lot really can't see the woods for the trees

Edin is an instinct player, give him more than 3'seconds to think and he's up there with lee Bradbury, his touch is abysmal.....

Oh and when did negrado suddenly become injury prone?

Dzeko had one real chance against Chelsea, after Zabaletas cross when he mishit the ball (similar to his goal against cardif) but if someone who hasn't watched the game came on forum, he'd probably think that Dzeko missed couple of penalties. Team had a bad performance, Chelsea was better, it happens in football. Why do people have the need to highlight someone and blame him for an overall bad team performance.
If there is anyone to blame it would probably be Pelegrini, he got owned by Mourinho.

Sorry pal, but I seriously cant recall more than 2 actual chances for Dzeko (I just watched a video of the highlights). Of those 2 chances one was literally self created while the other one was a lucky deflection.

To be honest, Silva and Toure had even better chances to score, one of them being created by none other than Dzeko. But that's not the point, the whole team sucked, most of them even worse than Dzeko, but Dzeko is the player at fault, he should be sold asap...

Dzeko had 5 shots versus Chelsea, none of which were on target. He's taking lots of shots and not scoring very many goals.

Combined Premier League and Champions League Stats

Edin Dzeko - Goals 9 Shots 76 Shots-to-goal percentage 11.8%
Alvaro Negredo - Goals 14 Shots 71 Shots-to-goal percentage 19.7%
Sergio Aguero - Goals 21 Shots 92 Shots-to-goal percentage 22.8%

So Edin is considerably less reliable in front of goal than our other forwards. And midfielders:

Yaya Toure - Goals 13 Shots 48 Shots-to-goals percentage 27.1%
Samir Nasri - Goals 5 Shots 28 Shots-to-goal percentage 17.9%
Jesus Navas - Goals 4 Shots 31 Shots-to-goal percentage 12.9%
David Silva - Goals 5 Shots 39 Shots-to-goal percentage 12.8%

When nobody else is fit, yes.

You're being too soft, he was actually much worse than that. Flop of the match. :)
