That's kind of a broad question.
Generally there are multiple types of posts after a game in which Dzeko doesn't score. It ranges from: he's shite, should never start, doesn't have a first touch to be in the team, only good as a sub, he's a scarecrow.. to just had a bad game.
Criticizing his performance is fine, but talking shit about such a player is often not warranted.
To those who have followed Dzeko for awhile (before MCFC) we know Dzeko is top class. Dzeko has yet to fit in MCFC like he did in Wolfsburg. He's lethal with a proper partnership. Simply a goal scoring and assist machine, impossible to shut down (when everything is firing on all cylinders).
Once a Ballon d'Or short lister sometimes I can't believe the abuse he gets on these forums. Admittedly he does get a lot of praise as well, when he scores.
Days like yesterday is when it clicks. You saw the glimpse of that same class that broke records in Bundesliga.
But honestly he didn't play that different from how he usually plays, he had his usual share of missed passes, and bad touches in the 2nd half. The only difference is he got service. As someone who closely watches Dzeko when we play. I can probably go back trough the footage and show you dozens of moments, this season where Dzeko is in the same exact position as he is when Aguero hesitantly passes him the ball for the 2nd goal yesterday.
Wide open, already knows where to strike it, but no service. Felix Magath has said this about him: "Dzeko knows where to strike the ball before he gets it."
This is why his goals look like tap ins. It's because he's made up his mind 10 seconds ago.
A shame seeing such a player on the bench. Unselfish, clinical, smart, able to score with head, both feet. And then gets the hate for not receiving proper service.
Don't get me wrong, he's not a perfect player. He has his share of flaws. He is a different kind of player.
As complete players go I think Aguero and even Tevez are better, but as a striker I think Dzeko is the best we have. And we haven't even unlocked his full potential. I am pretty sure he would be the leagues top scorer if we did.
