Re: Edin Dzeko legend
They can want him all they want, they have about as much chance of getting him, as Hughes has remaining in a job.

Re: Edin Dzeko legend
He has played games all by himself?, could have swore that we had other players on the pitch in games i have watched.
EaglesFan said:Dzeko has more points this season than half of EPL clubs.
Dzeko has saved Roberto's ass so many times this season - Roberto should invite him for dinner with his family and have his kids say grace to Edin.
Just saying.

Re: Edin Dzeko legend
Owen has a point.
When Edin comes on as a sub it's because we need a goal. The team is then a lot more direct, he's fresh against tired legs and a lot of the play will then go through him and he pops up with goal after goal.
But when he starts and the tempo of the game isn't as fast or direct he becomes invisible.
If he has scored 6 of his 7 goals this season coming off the bench, and thus 1 goal when starting, surely it's understandable as to why he doesn't start as often as some would like?
Hypothetical question, I REPEAT, A HYPOTHETICAL question;
If Dzeko started the next 5 games, for arguments sake, and didn't score and was then dropped for the next game but scored coming off the bench, would people clamour for him to start again the next game?

Re: Edin Dzeko legend
The video cut it out, but Owen did say that he doesn't think Dzeko is that type of player. He causes a lot of problems as a starter as well, is what he says right before the clip I linked. Full episode of MOTD: http://www.mysoccerplace.net/video/manchester-city-vs-tottenham-2-1-motd
As for your question. I think if he had 5 starts in a row in which he didn't score, I personally would think he's out of form. And would be fine with him being benched. The problem is, the few starts he's gotten, he actually played well in, and it's unfortunate he didn't score.
I think his partnership with Aguero last season was great personally. He adds a completely new dimension to the attack, whereas Tevez and Aguero are kind of similar players.
Another thing I have noticed is his height often times helps with defending set pieces, with which we seem to struggle when he's not around.

Re: Edin Dzeko legend
When was the last time Edin was given 5 games in a row as a starter? It's always one, then back to the bench. We have yet to see if he can do it consistently, because he hasn't had that chance. Mancini should really be saying "I'll give you 5 games no matter what happens now, pressures off". Starting a game knowing that you could be dropped, works well for some players and poorly for others. I think Edin is somone who plays better without the threat of being dropped and when he comes off the bench, the pressure if off so to speak. The Aguero/Dzeko partnership should be starting next week vs Villa imo.

Re: Edin Dzeko legend
We simply can not afford to give him 5 games (if he plays as he usually does from the start), to find his confidence.
Retaining the title could be gone, just to accommodate his fragile mindset.

Re: Edin Dzeko legend
He also came off the bench in that game too.
MSP said:Your theory on the 'pass and move' aspect is clearly a false one. Dzeko was part of the team when we hammered The Scum Six Swan and that was very 'pass and move' orientated. That's just one example.
Eh?
It was as much counterattacking game as you could imagine it. All goals except first were from classic or half-classic counter attacks,
He also came off the bench in that game too.

Shit, that's brutal.
