Re: Edin Dzeko legend
I think the reason he scores so many when he comes on as a sub has more to do with the rest of the team than him - he usually comes on when we are behind, so we're really pushing for a goal and we have a bit more width and are usually playing more directly. Often, too, when the opposition have been ahead in the match, they are playing more positively because they think they can get something from the match - and they leave more space.
Teams play much more aggressively against us at 1-0 or even 1-1 than they do at 0-0, and Dzeko's able to profit from that.
