Re: Edin Dzeko legend
Good shout that fella, Kolarov has been excellent and his game is really starting to come on this season and following on from last season in my opinion.
Personally think he has been very consistent and one of our best players this season but like Dzeko some fellow Blues just don't like him and some of the stuff on here written about Kolarov is just wrong in every way.
I really like Clichy and think he has been excellent since joining City but I personally think Kolarov this season should be first choice as his overall play brings more to the team.
Kolarov is playing with enthusiasm and I feel when he comes on as in the Dortmund game he really lifts the whole team and you get that feeling things are going to happen (like Dzeko), would like to see both play the next 4-5 games. Then we could actually give both a fair assessment and see what they bring to the team on week by week basis.

Brilliant as a super sub. Can I sneak in a complement to his mate Kolarov, who has improved out of sight this season.

Re: Edin Dzeko legend
It took Edin some time to adjust to English football. But since then, his goal rate has been as good as anyone out there:
Dzeko only had 1 goal in his 1st 818 minutes in the premiership, but...
Since then: 20 goals in 1803 minutes (that's 1 goal per 90 minutes!)

Balotelli, if he could only start scoring goals.

Re: Edin Dzeko legend
How about this one:
City's goal differential this season is ZERO when Edin is on the bench. That's depressing.

Re: Edin Dzeko legend
Better off the bench?
You guys are insane. Absolutely insane.
He played two full 90 minute games this season and you guys calling him a super sub is disrespectful to what he has accomplished in his career.
May I remind you all he hasn't been in a sub role since he was with Zejleznicar back in the day?
All this about players legs getting tired is rubbish, if you can't play a full 90 minute game on defense then what are you doing starting and finishing? If it was so easy then why wouldn't every team score from subs?
He's a quality player who deserves more starts from the get-go before this whole label of 'super-subs' sticks.
The irony of all this is if he doesn't score in his next game everyone will go back to calling for his head on the bench.
It's the same dilemma with how American's forget who the president was before Obama.
He's a legend to me and will always be a legend.

Re: Edin Dzeko legend
There is a reason Dzeko seems to have the most impactl coming on as a sub in a situation where a goal is desperately needed... That reason is that the entire team plays with more urgency and quickly pass the ball forward where Dzeko can run onto the ball. If he doesn't seem to be as effective when he starts, it's because the team plays the slow passing build up that really doesn't get us anywhere anyway. Let's face it, we're not Barca! Why not adjust the tactics to suit Dzeko as a starter? Clearly he has shown he can score 20+ goals a season regularly. IMO, we should play Aguero-Dzeko regularly when fit, and Tevez can play an advanced midfield role. Wishful thinking, i know.

I know stats can be misleading but this has some truth about his impact
Dzeko & Hyde said:When Dzeko is on the pitch, we score in bunches.
When he's on the bench, we struggle to find the back of the net.
411 minutes on the pitch: 15 goals (one every 27 minutes)
579 minutes on the bench: 7 goal (one every 82 minutes)

Re: Edin Dzeko legend
Deserves to start. Simple as that.<br /><br />-- Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:35 pm --<br /><br />Regardless whether he starts or not, Edin has become a reliable scorer and I'm just glad we have someone to turn to when the chips are down.

Re: Edin Dzeko legend
Edin is a class act. His attitude is exemplary and his form of late is outstanding. It must be frustrating for him to be on the bench behind Balotelli who is clearly not in the same form. However, you could argue that it must be frustrating for Aguero to be behind both Tevez and Balotelli too.
We have four top strikers and we rotate them. We are blessed to have such quality and the players and fans have to become accustomed to their personal favourites not always getting the starts that they appear to deserve.
Balotelli has the potential to be a genuine world class player. Unfortunately he also has the potential to be a destabilizing influence on the team and the club. I note once again that the 5 live commentator this morning chose to focus on Mario's antics rather than a first class performance from ten men. How long someone like Dzeko will continue to accept this situation will be down to his own attitude and our ability to communicate our strategy to him.
My personal favourites are undoubtedly Dzeko and Aguero. I will always support players who play for the club unless they spoil things with their words or actions. For this reason I would not be sorry to see Tevez or Balotelli leave the club though both are immensely talented. Tevez for his behaviour last season and Balotelli for his immaturity that only shows slight evidence of improvement. His performances this season do not match his talent.
I also feel for James Milner who is the consummate professional and a talented player. He will prove himself if given the starts in a central position and for me, is at least the equal of Garcia in the central midfield role. A deserved but very unfortunate sending off yesterday.

Re: Edin Dzeko legend
Very humble player, he seems to be at his best when he's only given a short period to make a difference. IMO he will probably leave if he's not getting more starts and that is understandable. I think he has a very good position in our team at the moment, Mario needs to produce the goods, instead of petulance otherwise he might end up being the 4th striker.
Well done Edin, your second goal was pure class. Keep it going, and long will you remain a blue.
JBG said:Hate to post twice in such a short time in the same thread but...
“Edin’s been in superb form, not just in terms of goal scoring but at the end of last season, at the start of the season, coming off the bench or starting, he’s been excellent,” Platt said.
And Dzeko, always classy, "we did it all together".

IMO the player in FORM starts everytime and at the moment Dzeko is the player in form for a strikers position from the off.
