Honestly no, I'm not worried about his scoring at all. He gave maximum effort for the team and that's wonderful. In other circumstances, I might worry that much effort detracted from his scoring efforts, but watching the game I think he was fine. Just a combination of unlucky, Krul having a great night, and honestly a couple he should have put away better. So probably a score of 90/100 for me. That's still superb by the way.EaglesFan said:I truly hope City's fans are not worried about Edin's FINISHING (for the fact that he had an off day the other night in scoring department)???
I mean - that's one thing he was always excellent at in his entire career (Wolfsburg, Bosnian NT, City...)...
Newcastle just wasnt his night scoring-wise, and it was damn obvious. On any other given night that would've been a hattrick for him (I'm counting the header Krul saved, long distance shot Krul saved, and turning in one of the other few half-chances/headers he had).
People also acting like he missed bunch of sitters - which is utter garbage (other than the first header, which WAS a sitter and Edin should've done better).
Other situations were not even close to "sitters".
I can see a big season coming up for him.

Edin is one of Eorope's best strikers as he proved scoring 4 at Tottenham, and Mancini rewarded him by dropping him for the next game.
At Wolfsburg he helped them win the league. Watch him go now with better service and a wider formation.
Will this crap never end?
Shame he didn't score, beautiful performance. Two or three of those chances were just great saves, unlucky slip as well. Well deserved MOTM. The entire team played well, even Lescott (despite that one mistake).Train said:[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hreWyZIQqr4[/youtube]
Stats do matter. How many clear cut scoring chances did he create for others? How many defensive clearances did he have (last year he had a whopping 17)? How many headers won? How many tackles did he have? Shots on target? How many successful forward passes?Blueper said:So stat means nothing when he scores but matters when he doesn't score?
