Edin Dzeko

[pudge]

Dzeko is an underrated passer when playing in a direct style of play, facing the goal, or just laying off balls like he did to Rodwell on Saturday. Think how many great through balls he's passed on counterattacks. His first ever game for City was a superb assist to Yaya for goal agains the Wolves.

Problem is that in City's style of play, he has been asked to come back for the ball like midfielders and play tippy tappy football. Dzeko is not built for that and he shouldn't be judged as a striker for not having the skills of a midfielder.

He isn't underrated at all.
He is just incredibly inconsistent.

What he did on Saturday shouldn't be marked down as a positive from his performance, sadly that is basically all we took out of it. Any striker in the premier league never mine one that cost nearly 30m should be doing that every single week both in the prem and in Europe. Sadly he doesn't.

Your right that every striker should perform. But the bigger worry should be placed on Aguero and Tevez, considering that they couldn't provide anything goal scoring wise and Edin will be leaving the Etihad.

If a striker gets 1900 minutes in an entire season and he ends up being the top scorer for a club that tells me that it's not himi that's the problem.

They contributed nothing goal scoring wise?

They each scored 17 and finished top joint scorers

 

[Worst Case Ontario]

all dzeko lovers are really united fans on here in disguise cos they know how shite he is and there laughing there tits off praying him to stay.

You are one sad person. Dzeko was banging in goals like crazy in Germany, he is banging them in for his NT, and I am sure he will score shitloads again after he leaves for team that appreciates him. He is far away from being ''shite''. And if you support City cause only ''very best'' players play here then you are gonna be disappointed, cause there are teams that can attract top players easier and we will have ''shite'' time to time in our team that need our support.

Ffs how can even a sane grown up person who is not ultimate glory hunter say that? I am not even Dzeko fan but shite? 22 goals in 58 games in Czech Republic, 66 in 111 in Germany, even in PL where he is ''shite'' it's 30 goals in 76 games and MANY were subs cause we know how much Mancini rated him, and 28 in 53 for his NT. You know, it isn't far worse than your world beaters like Cavani who plays in worse league than Bundesliga and PL, scores more pelanties (I assume this) and he struggles for his NT

The spuds game should have been his last for city. His time here is over and rightly so. Next......

Why are you only counting the league though?

Because it's the only way to promote Dzeko ahead of our other strikers?

Yes, he finished our top scorer in the league but NOT our top goal scorer overall. Stop saying that he did, it's as disrespectful as you claim others are to Dzeko in the first place.

I don't get your point on overall league goals, but it might be of note for you to include Aguero has scored 5 more in 13 less matches?

Quite frankly, at this stage, who knows what tactics we'll be employing next season. There's an assumption we'll get Pellegrini as the manager, and that he'll employ more width and pace than Mancini did, but at this stage it's not a certainty. What we do know is:-

1 - Dzeko simply did not suit Mancini's tactics, if anything Mancini's tactics played to Dzeko biggest flaws and completely ignored his strengths.

2 - Dzeko, for whatever reason, seemed to give up last season. Early doors he was on the bench and was actively putting in some fight to try and change that, however the second half of the season saw a far more lacklustre and disinterested Dzeko. Potentially frustrated with a lack of opportunities, or with the tactics, or with the manager himself. Whatever the reason, it was an unacceptable lack of effort.

3 - Dzeko will never be a top class striker. Don't get me wrong, he's good, very good on occasion, but his weaknesses will never allow him to be a key player at a club like City. His passing is never going to be good enough, and his first touch too is not of the required standard. At a lower level club, the next level down, so a Wolfsburg/Everton/Sevilla/Lazio type level he'd probably be absolutely fine, but for a title contender, and a Champion's League hopeful he'll never quite be good enough.

i disagree. dzeko would do well at clubbs like bayern munich, dortmunt, real madrid. basically all the top clubs that play direct football.

He's nowhere near quick enough for Bayern or Dortmund, and his passing wouldn't be up to par for Real.

if he can score 20+ goals for wolfsburg .. he can do the same for bayern munich or dortmund.

Because when you play in the FA Cup you play against shite teams like Barnsley instead of actually playing quality teams and when you drub teams like Barnsley 5-0 it skews statistics doesn't it now?

The only reason it says he played more is because he got subbed in more. Look at the minutes and the amount of times each got subbed in.

 

[celticfc482]

Dzeko is definitely good enough in a team that plays for him and plays to his style. If he is the main striker he will score you goals. I am not convinced he is consistent enough for a top top club though.
