Edin Dzeko

[BoyBlue_1985]

my problem with Dzeko, and this is probably just me, is that I dont trust him in the big big games, I dont think hes good enough, although I hope he proves me wrong.

Two of the biggest games for City in the last 35 years were...

The 1-6 at the swamp.
The title winner against QPR.

Nowt else needs to be said mate..

Well if we ignore the Gillingham play off final, bit more at stake than the 1-6

Also he came on at 1-3 at the swamp he scored twice but he should of scored 4

It should of been ten, it should of bennnnnn tennnnnnnnnn

This is why people cannot take Bosnians seriously on this forum

Dzeko is Bosnian and many on here dont take him seriously..

Bosnians it seems, cant win.

That is bullshit, and you know it.We (the haters, as we are called) do not criticise Dzeko because he is a Bosnian, we do it because he more often than not, is a fucking liability in games.

He can be a great player, but needs to man the fuck up, and play for the team, not go on a half season strop because the boss did not give him a cuddle or started him when he failed to show up in the previous game.

As for the Bosnians (apart from a couple of them), he could score 3 own goals and they would still find a way of blaming every other player on the team but him.

To be fair though Sam, those are only two games in two and a half years. Each season we play United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham twice in the League as well as any additional Cup fixtures. We also play six Champions’ League Group Game fixtures. So if we do some quick (probably inaccurate maths) Those are only two games out of a potential 32 games in the last two seasons alone.

Edit* By the way, i know he has done the business against Tottenham and in a few of the Champions League games. I’m not asking for a list for all the major games he has performed in. .

Someone posted stats on here last night saying that Dzeko had less unsuccessful touches than Tevez (who doesn't have the glossiest touch, anyway, but it's alright).

Anyone who actually believes that Dzeko has a better touch is sick in the head.

Tevez gets on the ball waaaaaay more than Dzeko so it's no surprise he may have 5 or more unsuccessful touches statistically. (However many it was).

Also Tevez played in the crowded area between two banks of four usually. Any less than sticky touch would be harder to recover.

Dzeko as he's subbed in a lot can recover some of those poor touches as he's fresher than everyone else...part of the reason he looks a completely different player a sub.

I think the debate around Dzeko centres largely on what we City fans like to see from our players. It is funny that we all collectively want to see Guidetti play and many want him to be used as one of our first 3 or 4 strikers. This is based on one good season abroad and in spite of the fact he has had several injury problems.

We loved Tevez because he worked hard for the team and showed fight and determination. Players like that are ones we love to see as City fans. This is despite Tevez going awol and most of us forgiving him. Dzeko does what he has to do, he scores. Sometimes his touch is lacking but with a consistent run in the side and a shape that suits his play he will be very effective. That chance he took against Real I would back him to score 9 times out of 10, I wouldn't back any of our strikers more. He is a valuable piece of the puzzle, if we were to press high up the pitch and use Aguero to do a lot of the running, Dzeko staying up top and just bagging goals would work very effectively.

It is similar to Robinho and Elano in a way. Whilst they were capable of match winning moments they didnt leave it all on the pitch like Milner would do. Having a balanced side, which we now have should mean that players like Milner, Rodwell, Aguero etc who work hard off the ball can allow players like Yaya, Silva, Dzeko time and space to do their jobs more effectively.

Dzeko still needs to work hard and put effort in and not perform like he did at Spurs away but he does need some more slack from fans because he consistently scores goals.

Agreed. The beauty of Dzeko is that he's two footed. Not many people remember that.

Oh yeah Gillingham.. the game where Dickov scored an injury time equaliser to help City get to penalties to win and gain promotion and propel him to legendary status amongst the City fans..

Whereas; and you fell right into this, Edin Dzeko scores an injury time equaliser against QPR to help City win the game thus winning the title for the first time in over 40 years..

And what does he get for his troubles. ???

hes; shite , he's gash, he doesnt do enough!! blah blah fucking blah..
I cant believe im having to stick up for a player who did that for City..

Im just replying to a poster who said he didnt trust Edin in big games,,

Those 2 games will go down in history ffs...And he did his bit in both..

If someone says otherwise then theyre deluded.

It's his fucking job, Sam.
If he had of given all that he has in him, in the previous games, it would not have come down to the last game of the season.
Why is it so hard for you to see this point of view?

who called you a hater??I didnt.. just pointing out the similarites of the gilligham game and the QPR one..

If you dont think the 1-6 is one of the biggest games in City history or that Dickov isnt a legend then Im barking up the wrong tree.
