Haris Medjunanin had the best goal from long distance.
I'm sorry but no clear cut chances? 4 minutes in 5 yards out blasted it over the bar...then again a bit later with his left miskicked one across the goal...was better in the second half but again not on the level where he can and should be...
and yet still scored...
You seem to be having difficulty understanding what people are saying tonight. I haven't seen one person deny that he has scored against the mighty Latvians. People ARE saying that he misses too many chances for a supposedly top notch striker.AntiUnited said:No17 said:BosnianDiamond said:Latvia parked the bus in the first half with 9 players in the box.

Did his usual shite in the first half though, missed loads of chances.
For someone who is apparently "CLINICAL" he could have done himself a favour and finished the chances off.
lol.... He scored get over it.

What about the games when he doesn't score? but still has a touch of an elephant, struggles to lift his feet off the ground to win a header, hold the ball up and bring others into play and generally you know be a footballer not just a tap in merchant.

So why are you all on dzekos ass? Just because Mancini didn't favor him?
Personally I think he will step up with a new manager and something to prove. But quite frankly all of our strikers need a fire up their asses.

agreed.
That's the luxury afforded to a team when playing against 10 men for 80 minutes tbf...LookIfoundmyKnob said:No17 said:AntiUnited said:and yet still scored...

Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Should have
Would have
Could have
He scored a goal, bottom line. The end result was 5-0. I don't think anyone other then the negative nancies in this thread care about his 'missed' chances in a game that was decided within the first 15 minutes.
I didn't see anything wrong with Edin today, terrible service in the first, second half picked himself up quite a bit, his passing was good, his hold up play was good, his shots a bit off the mark but considering this is off-season I can't blame him.
Just because he missed a couple chances doesn't mean the chances weren't there, if you get barely any service you have to make the shots count. However BiH completely dominated possession and played right outside the box trying to involve the entire team instead of just picking out Edin who was double teamed constantly. The team picked up the rest of the pieces, the strikers got on the score card among a few others, defense looked healthy(ish) and BiH picked up 3 points for their first trip to a WC.
Unlike some of you, I am going to enjoy the victory, enjoy Edin's contribution and look forward to the 10th.
