Edin Dzeko

[Roll On City]

so just me who thought both mario and dzeko had decent games? not great but nowhere near worst on the team. weren't the real culprits de jong (totally invisible), kolarov and kolo?

i can see why mancini wants DDR so bad or played rodwell last week. we look better with rodwell than NDJ

I'm absolutely convinced Rodwell will be a star

Don't understand the criticism Dzeko gets on this board. Yes he is not as good as Tevez or Arguero, but how many are? He is a striker, who can score all types of goals and regularly does. I don't think there is any team in the world, that has 4 strikers as good as yours. Your strikers are not the problem. Dzeko can have a poor touch, but he also has an eye for a pass and has good movement for counters. He is a threat in the air and a presence upfront.

Problem is, his issue seem to have escalated to poor finishing.

Dzeko worked hard to put Skrtel under pressure leading to the error that gifted Tevez the equaliser.

Morning peeps.

Still a great guy is Edin but not what we need in our team

 

[Marvin]

Did a good job when he came on, and nearly scored at the end. Was not an easy chance, but fire the crosses in and he's a very dangerous player.

If we are going to use this 3-5-2 a lot then Dzeko can be the key man

Why do we always want to bash City players? Where is the Tevez thread? Another goal. He anticipated what Skrtel was thinking and calmly rounded the keeper. Torres would have missed that. And he set up Yaya's goal and nearly scored in the 1st half with a wonderful effort.

i m glad we got edin.... we would not be champions without him!! lets not forget that blues.

his pressure forced skrtel muck up , well done tevez who read it well.

it s important we get all our players up to a certain level, they all need gametime. i want to see dzeko banging in the goals...i m sure he will !!!

 

[yozzer]

we dont play to suit dzeko, and he aint good enough for to change what works for tevez and aguero to suit him

I agree Des. Dzeko has scored some important goals for us and I think he will for us again this season if we keep hold of him. He can be frustrating at times and this leads to him getting some (often unreasonable) stick on here but the points that he gained and the goals he scored played a vital part in winning the league for us last season.

For myself, I'd keep him but Mancini might think different (and he defo knows better than me)

We would have lost yesterday without him. I don't know what else to say.

Hope he gets a start with Tevez next weekend against QPR. Could do with a run of games.
