Edin Dzeko (continued)

[argyle]

Anyone know his shots to goals ratio? Just seems like he misses about 5 or so chances for each goal he eventually scores.

He'd make an ace NFL kicker.

Nah, he'd miss the posts haha !

Seriously he's been well off target lately what's happened ?

 

[citijin]

dzeko should be sold at discount.

 

[MCFC-alan88]

He misses far too many chances. A game like last nights in isolation I can handle, but add in Watford and Spurs (when he scored he didn't have to think about it) and you have a serious issue.

@bloodyboutsa

That is a bit harsh. It's not like our strikers had 20 clean chances. You might as well say it's Joe's fault, cuz he didn't manage to keep that one shot out of our goal, the others hit the post and bar anyway.

As for the rest here, thank God that people like you don't get a say in City's management. Half of our squad would've been sold by now with your way of thinking lol

Great goals to games ratio - but all round game is dreadful

 

[pominoz]

Anyone mention the simple pass to Silva he could have done to atleast draw the game, but instead booted into the top tier?
Does my head in.

 

[justme_ctid]

he's bobbins. Negredo was shocking last night but Iwould haveleft him on in place of dzecko as he is more likely to get you a goal. He's a fringe player and we need to move away from that. Play him againsta decent team and he is rubbish. No fight gives up when not going for him. Frustrating and lazy, bye bye go to the swamp.

 

[Frank the Yank]

He is a good players but against games like Chelsea he is exposed. Lets be honest, he is not good enough all around for where we want to go. I wouldnt trust him in a big game against big opponents and I dont trust him to come up big in these big games.....

Being generous there. Got to be 6/7 to one. Frustrating as fuck.

No no no, thats his shots > shots on target ratio. His shots > goals ratio is closer to 9

I thought that Dzeko played OK last night.
Just a pity that his partner didn't turn up for the game.

I thought Dzeko was terrible last night, but then he wasn't on his own in that respect. Negredo was woeful too, and there were several others who just didn't play well enough.

 

[Blue2112]

He's helped us win the League and the FA Cup and he's weighed in with some important goals for us but come the Summer the World Cup must be a transfer window for him. Not good enough for a team who play in our style. Last night directly in front of me he tried flicking the ball past a Chelsea defender who stood his ground and Dzeko bounced off him or in my opinion Dzeko just didn't have the will or the tenacity to want to force himself past the defender to get to the ball and he took the soft way out and held his arms out looking at the ref who quite rightly waived play on. Its the the very last time I'm going to get wound up by his timid reactions as I've come to accept he's a six foot striker in the body of a dainty Wilo Flood as he's more interested in flicks and trying to be a pretty footballer rather than using his height and muscle to bulldoze his way past defenders which I now accept his not his game. Unfortunately for him his dainty style doesn't cut it upfront in the EPL.

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Dzeko was awful.Negredo was not much better however he was injured apparently.

Was a singular meaningful interchange between them all night.

Yeah Negredo screamed at him try forcing your way past a defender once in a while to which Dzeko softly whispered back how do you perform that technique with the outside of your left foot you handsome beast as it's something I really want to try in Brazil this summer.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Is it time to give up with Edin?

He's the most frustrating of players. Utterly brilliant on his day and utterly useless sometimes too. I have been supportive of him throughout, seeing his good points rather than his bad ones. He scores goals no doubt, is good in the air, has excellent distribution and overall a decent attitude and is low maintenance.

But his 1st touch has always been shocking, his work rate questionable and once his strongest point - composure in front of goal - seems now to be completely out of the window. As a team we cannot keep missing 10+ chances in games and expect to win all the time. I am starting to think perhaps it's time he moved on in the summer.

 

[Tony - MCFC]

he'll be off in the summer, hoping once Aguero is back, dzeko will be 4th choice behind Serg, Jovetic and Negredo. Those 3 are a mile and above better than Dzeko.
