Edin Dzeko (continued)

[Shirley]

You get to many games from Indonesia do you?

Each season I get back for as many games as possible and use my season ticket.

If you want to know more my first game was in 1958, been there and done it more times than you have had hot dinners.

So no then, you don't get to many games from Indonesia so have no idea what "our loyal fans" do each week. Unlike you, I do manage to get there and know that you're talking shit.

Everybody gets isolated abuse from certain fans and has done for donkey's years. Dzeko is one of the more liked players by the crowd and gets his name sang every week. I don't give a shit if you're Billy Meredith's Dad, your opinion on what the current City crowd does is bollocks and wrong

Your opinion of course, which in my opinion is total bollocks.

However, Damocles clearly goes to the game every week and you equally clearly don't. His opinion would appear most likely to be accurate then, no? If you're still not convinced though, I can confirm that Dzeko gets his name sung more than almost any other City player, home and away, and frequently when his overall performance has hardly merited it

I can also confirm this is true, He's had more backing and his name sung more than most over the years.

 

[argyle]

I don't mind people being aggrevated by edin, all that I ask is that everyone is consistent. I'd edin plays a bad ball, boo him all you like, but if David does the same thing, boo him to. Silva had a perfect chance to make it 2-0 and stupidly crossed the ball, no moans and groans, no boo's just "unlucky David".

Dzeko is the boo boy, when he goes who will the city fans turn on next? The abuts dzeko got from around me yesterday was borderline edghill, it was embarrassing. Best fans in the world? What an absolute joke.

When Silva makes a mistake it is usually the exception to the rule.

Dzeko misplaces too many passes and misses a lot of chances.

You sound like a proper boring bully.

Whereas that post from you added loads to the conversation. At least me and Shirley are making a point.

So can I ffs but having his name sung one minute and giving him dogs abuse the next is.....again....plain wrong.how many times have you heard people singing about fernandinho silva navas Richards Kolarov etc....it's because they don't exactly roll off the tongue while dzeko does!! But they don't get nowhere near the same amount of shit that EDIN does.
I wish people would just realise that shouting and screaming at YOUR OWN is wrong.and I don't even like him as a footballer!!!!! Ha but while he plays for city he gets my vote!!

I can assume then that when he missed that sitter yesterday that your immediate reaction was along the lines of;

"Ah well Edin, no worries"

While sat on your hands

 

[Puppet Master Silva]

Fucking hell, I'm not allowed to groan at games any more? Everyone groaned when David Silva refused to shoot yesterday because they were disappointed, not to get on his back. People over in Indonesia and Bosnian's criticising our support of Dzeko when his name is sung after missing the worst open goal that I've ever seen a City player miss is laughable. Using the fact he scored that goal against QPR as a justification for his poor performances, again laughable. Claiming Damocles is a bully for defending himself and his opinion, you guessed it, laughable.

Myself and Pudge have barely posted since yesterday and the thread has still descended into shit, something for you people throwing around personal accusations to bare in mind.

 

[ManCitizens.]

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.

I haven't heard his chant sang since Blackburn away. In my seat you can hear pretty much every word from the singing section and the lower south stand. So where exactly are these Dzeko chants coming from because the rest of the ground remains silent for 99% of the match?

Directly after his miss at the game on Saturday, surely you would of heard it considering you weren't moaning? I heard it from EL2, I also heard and sang it when he came on against Barcelona as well.

Not a whole section of fans but it was being sung by some yesterday to counter the ones keelhauling his footballing offer.

 

[ayrshire_blue]

Thanks for your important goals Edin lad, in particular THAT equaliser against QPR.

Good luck to him in the future, however he's not good enough to have that future at City. And what he lacks in talent, he doesn't do nearly enough to make up for in work rate.

On yesterday in particular, the miss itself was awful and frustrating as hell. But what was worse was the lack of clear cut chances we were able to create because Edin doesn't have the required intelligence to make the right runs at the right time and help build on semi positive situations.

To put things into perspective, Negredo had equally as poor of a performance as Dzeko did yesterday and has done for 3/4 weeks now. However, I've saw more talent and enthusiasm in Negredo's first 6 months of the season than I have in 2 and a half years from Dzeko. I'm willing to give Negredo the benefit of the doubt and put it down to a bad run due to tiredness or possiblycarrying a knock. I am 100% he will recover from it and be the player he was right through to January, because he's shown he can do it. Dzeko has not.

I don't speak for every blue, not by a long shot, but I'm pretty sure most would go along with that.

 

[Champions2012!]

Love the guy but it's time to get rid

 

[noise]

You know Edin has been pretty decent since the Bayern game, this thread was pretty dormant during the period for the most part. Edin filled in for the injured players well. But all it took was one bad game, in which he misses a sitter, and all is forgotten (a game we won btw).

This is a player who's scored 50+ goals for City, btw. It's surreal reading some of these comments.

This couldn't be further from the truth. I implore you to watch the game or highlights again. 1st half Negredo's strike, and Yaya's strike in particular. Watch Edin's position. Also for Jovetic strike right before he was subbed out, see Edin's position. Also how about that "handball" call?

If there is one thing Edin does well that's the off the ball movement. Off the ball movement is 90% of his goals.

 

[simon23]

He is a decent striker BUT not good enough for a team fighting to be where we want to be....cimpare him to other 2nd or 3rd choice strikers and he falls short.....

Suarez (1st choice) sturridge (2nd) . .....sturridge is superior

Utd rvp (1st choice) rooney, hernandez - both better.

Chelsea are lacking at present in this department as arsenal but i expect at least chelski to atrengthen in this area nxt season.

Id sell him end of season keep kun, negrado (who has all the attributes dzeko has but is superior)....the wuestion is jovetic...is it just bad luck with him or is he injury prone....??? Keep him fit and we have a decent 3rd choice......

Id still rather see another striker in the same mould as kun even if its a young and upcoming kid

Hernandez better than Dzeko..you wally.

Lol,...as soon as I put that a couple of utd players would be better options I knew there would be a reacton from some...Take off the red hating secs and look at what he offers as an individual...not just him however.....there are numerous other stirikers in the prem id have over dzeko taht would offer more either as a starter or coming off the bench..........its about options for me and dzeko offers nothgin that negrado hasnt already got whereas we have no one to offerwhat kun does if and when he is injured.......... we need mobile pacy striker who is direct and can run at people with the bal as well as being good in the box....dzeko doesnt offer thiis

Hernandez is a 3rd choice striker for a mid table team.

Do you mean the one where the keeper fumbled it three yards in front of him, all the while Dzeko was still standing in the exact same spot as he was from the moment he saw Jovetic was about to take a shot? Yep, I see what you mean.

Your second part is bollocks btw, when we're passing the ball about near the edge of the opponents box Dzeko makes little or no attempts to make runs so he can find space and have the ball played through to him. His movement is poor, imo.

 

[cityok]

I'm starting to talk about Dzeko in the past tense, even though i have backed 100% and still do, but on a more positive note, it would be good for Dzeko's career if he gets a freshner.

I'd like to see him at NYCFC

Ha ha Hernandez better,I agree with noise,Dzeko is definitely a fox in the box type striker,normally in the right place.
