Re: Edin Dzeko legend
Thought his overall play was pretty poor today but he got a goal and we won so who cares.

Re: Edin Dzeko legend
He was poor in first half, broke few promising attacks passing to nowhere, good in 2nd.

Re: Edin Dzeko legend
Yes he is. However, the numbers show that when he's on, he pours them in better than any of our other strikers.

In play, league goals, since Kun was signed:
Kun: 26 goals in 3819 minutes
Edin: 23 goals in 2298 minutes
Kun has 3 more goals in 1521 more minutes.
judging by the stats dzeko should start every game, with tevez or aguero behind him.
unfortunately he's inconsistent.

Re: Edin Dzeko legend
Aguero is also inconsistent. We haven't honestly had a hugely consistent striker since Tevez was on his own up top dragging the team. Aguero also seems to have great trouble scoring away from home which is as baffling as it is frustrating.
I do beleive that we have enough of a sample from enough games to say that if we're going to play two strikers, Aguero and Dzeko are the best pairing we can field. Balotelli if he stays here long enough could fight his way in. Tevez has to go though. He just doesnt understand how a team without him leading it should function. Probably why he doesn't get a look in for Argentina either. He would be best at another team where he can be the main man.
The only reason we should get rid of Dzeko is if he wants to go. He is also good enough to be the main man somewhere, and if that isn't going to be here then so be it.

Except he gave each an extra year :)

For me we need tobe looking past Tevez going and I can't think of a much better partnership than Dzeko and Aguero. Both are instinctive goal scorers, Edin a threat in the air and big and strong, Aguero fast and plays off the last defender - a classical little and large combo.
I'll be amazed if Tevez signs a renewal, we won't be offering him a long contract on big money as he'll be 29 in a couple of months, 30 when his current contract ends (I think). I'm 99% sure he'll walk on a free for his last big payday - probably to Italy, maybe Chelski?
Rather than piss off Edin any more I hope we see more of him and he develops an understanding with Aguero. Ed is 27 this year and Aguero 25 - no reason why we shouldn't get 5 years from both of them especially as Deko's game relies less on pace so he should be good until his early 30's.
Flawless post.

Re: Edin Dzeko legend
Kun is also the penalty taker. Not to say those are easy goals, they aren't, but they do boost a players stats a bit.
Kun is one helluva player, world class. The stats do speak to Dzeko's goal scoring efficiency though.
As far as the decision to start Dzeko today goes, Stoke are known to be very dangerous from set pieces, Dzeko was going to be picked no matter what for his set piece defense support.

How is that "not really?" :)
Anyway - it's peanuts.
