Compare this thread with the Negredo one. Both have bad games, but Dzeko is shite and should be raffled off, Negredo needs a rest and, bless, he's missing Aguero!

Quick question; who has been the more effective player for us this season?

Or another question;

Which of the two appears to be putting in more of an effort in games?

Negredo has been more effective player this season so far in the season.

To answer your second question that really doesn't mean alot, when shit gets tough and the goals dry up as they have been in the last 5 games.

Dzeko plays shit and doesn't score ,Negredo puts an effort and doesn't score its ultimately the same thing if the games are not won, isn't it ??
Last 5 games, both players have not scored a goal, and I rather have them play shit and score, then shine throughout the game and end up with 1 or 0 points.
Also, a lot of posters on here made up their mind's long time ago, and that's fine. However, some on here need to take a look around the league and see what other teams have, and get back to reality.
So far Dzeko scored 17goals, which is the fifth best overall (and two other players who are above him, are his teammates) scoring record in all the competitions from all PL teams, yet he is a fucking shit player. For a 2/3 striker, it's not going to get better than that.

Eto, Torres and Demba Ba have 18 total goals in all competitions between them 3.
 
Goals scored to chances created is fucking terrible.
Sorry but the majority of the crowd yesterday saw enough to make their own judgement on Dzeko.
Move him on
 
The fan boys seem to have gone missing at the moment - even they cannot defend his latest display. His attitude yesterday is what disappointed me more than anything. Sometimes he looks like he would rather be anywhere else other than on the pitch. This is what caused him to miss that open goal. He was too busy moping around and wasn't ready for the ball to come to him.

Unless he shows significant improvement from now until the end of the season he has to be sold.

Sometimes I think we would be better off with someone like Shane Long up front who would actually be grateful for the opportunity to play for the club, is a team player and would at least put the effort in.

Edin has scored some great goals for us and some important ones, he also I think is a decent player it's just we've been waiting for so long for him to put in one of those fantastic performances and I just think he is playing at his highest level. I was a big fan of him before he came here but I think he is just in the wrong team to score the type of goals he normally would. I'm not saying we should just sell him but at the moment I don't think he makes enough impact in games to justify things, he does get a few goals but recently in the big games he hasn't made the difference, I felt Jovetic has looked like making more difference but now he is injured and Edin needs to step up. I think in the summer MP needs to move him on and perhaps bring someone a little more suited to our style of play, Negredo has done great but has struggled recently which I don't really understand unless he isn't fit. Since the Chelsea 1-0 loss we have lost our edge going forward and I think it is mainly due to a combination of Negredo/Dzeko not working well together when the pressure is on.

The last time I saw us at our proper best was against Spurs and that was with Aguero in there, we didn't miss him before that and now it's looking like we are going to rely on him winning us everything we want to win coming to the latter stages of the season so that shows we need a new striker in the summer. We aren't going to get Cavani for a 3rd striker role lets face it so someone like Mandzukic might be a good buy or even Adrian Ramos at Hertha Berlin who is having a fantastic season.
 
Yeah he has his faults but criticism is way ott

He's under the microscope more this season because of the ridiculous injuries to Aguero and Jovetic

Isn't he in premier league top 10-20 scorers per minute all time? How many others in that list would we be able to call upon as 3rd maybe 4th choice striker?They'd be way to expensive and not prepared to sit on bench. And as for a Guidetti or similar? Behave, like they're going to come in and deliver the goals per minute he does consistently plus be relied on when injuries hit like this year - week in week out, we'd be relying on a totally inexperienced player.

We're blessed to have him - as 3rd or 4th choice.

Had a better game than Negredo that's for sure

Worrying for City is that Negredo can play with Aguero, as can Dzeko. But Dzeko and Negredo don't seem to play well

Is this the same Dzeko -Negredo partnership that lead the line against West Ham when we scored 6?
 
He will bag the winner at Wembley, mark my words.

Not defending him in the slightest for yesterday but he goes from the sublime to the ridiculous often and he does bag important goals.

Sadly, more often than not, his second touch is a tackle..........

Who have better 3rd option striker than Dzeko ?

We have better 3rd option striker than Bayern, Chelsea, United, Arsenal, Madrid, Barcelona.....etc

If he hadn't scored in the last minute against QPR Aguero's goal would have meant nothing! Just saying.


Edin has lost a bit of confidence & needs our support to boost him, not all the approbation. Just saying.

I like Edin & yes maybe I could have scored that open goal one yesterday but even the best players miss a sitter now & again. Just saying.

All the above is IMHO!

Agree with this 100%. Fans need to support those in a blue shirt.

Which he constantly gets, every single week at the ground. There was even a Dzeko chant immediately after that miss.

If you think this is the type of message board where everybody sits around wanking about how great we are then you've mistaken it for Red Cafe.

This isn't true, after every mistake or missed chance you can hear the crowd start moaning. No other player gets the same treatment, he's the scapegoat unfortunately. I think the three blokes next to me today were ready to shoot Pellegrini when he took Negredo off, who contributed nothing.

Oh ffs are people not allowed to criticise a professional footballer earning hundreds of thousands a week for playing like a 20 stone sunday leaguer after a heavy night on the lash? People always use the word scapegoat but thats just bollocks. If Dzeko didn't play shit so often with glaring weaknesses in his game then he wouldn't get the shit he does it's as simple as that. He is technically the poorest player in our squad and that really fucks the way we want to play. He is simply not good enough. You see our players creating wonderful chances for him and he ruins it by either smashing the ball 20 feet above the goal or his shit ball control which means the ball bounces 10 foot off his boot. He is not good enough and never has been. There is a reason the Dzeko thread has always been so lively because he is constantly making errors and making the job for the other players in the team 10 times harder.

Enough has to be enough and he needs to be sold in the summer. He's scored some good goals for us but he is a square peg for a round hole and it would be best for both parties if he moved on.

My comment was in response to damo saying he's supported every week, yesterday he was garbage but he still did much more than Negredo. He'll be gone in the summer but I hope we replace him with an attacking midfielder.
 
He's a striker who fucks up a lot, of course you'll hear moaning from a select few. Did all of those Dzeko chants that are sung every game somehow escape your attention?

You can't say "well some guys near me shout at him". You're in a stadium of 47,000 people, 3 guys next to you mean nothing.
 
Does anyone actually think he enjoys missing goals?
I think he probably hurt the most after yesterday.
The guy is a professional and whilst it may appear that he 'doesn't care' I do not buy that. If you missed a chance in front of 47,000 you would want the earth to open up!
He is a very important player for our club and he scores goals - he misses them too but so does Serge and so does the beast and right now with the beast not fully fit ( I am certain his shoulder is hampering his movement even now).
Give Edin support-he needs it right now.

I have a couple of people who have worked for me for more than ten years now and there were times that they used to frustrate the hell out of me and I thought of getting rid but I chose to support them , encourage them and now they are my best people whom I trust to do the job brilliantly and they do .
I do not think negativity has any room anywhere-you can only improve with encouragement and if you think otherwise you are mistaken.

Edin I hope you do the biz next Sunday or even better win the league for us !!!
