Edin Dzeko

Re: Edin Dzeko legend

I sleep tight knowing that without Edin's goals this season we would most likely NOT be in position to play in Champions league next time.

This is right up there with the faulty "Without Van Persie, United wouldn't..." logic for me. If Van Persie or Dzeko weren't at the clubs, someone else would be there scoring goals. Someone always steps up at these clubs when others fail.

Re: Edin Dzeko legend

Dzeko is awful.
Tonight he had the touch of a donkey having eaten horse meat.
Stumbling around, miss-timing his touches, can't head, can't jump, can't hold the ball up.
Honestly, we would have been better bringing on Mr and Mrs spoon.

He pass for the goal was initially a foul and then any half decent striker would have took the shot himself but he knows his form has been woefull since the start of last season and so passed to Tevez.

The quicker Dzeko moves on the quicker we will be back to our best.

Brilliant "analysis" !!

I personally find it amusing when some of you tickle our bosnian ballz posting these opinions about Dzeko's contributions. Keep going please!

Yeah, of course because without Dz-donkey-eko we would have been playing with only 10 men right? Wrong. Another striker would have been playing and he would have contributed something more to the team.

We're off to button moon I hope Dzeko follows Mr Spoon....Button Moon!!!

So by that logic - it's really irrelevant who's up front? Anyone can step up and do it?<br /><br />-- Wed Mar 06, 2013 1:48 am --<br /><br />

The fact that "dz-donkey-eko" is worth 20-something million in football world just show how stupid you sound with those statements, mate.

Dislike the guy but get back to reality mate...just a friendly advice.

The player has to be of a good standard, and that's what these cash rich clubs can always count on. If Dzeko didn't score, whoever was at the club in his place (it could have even been Van Persie as the failure to shift a striker is one of the reasons we couldn't get him) would. Or Aguero. or Tevez.

Rooney couldn't score a couple of seasons ago, so Berbatov did even though Berbatov never fully settled in there. Someone always steps up, when was the last time a top club scored under 50 or so goals in a season? Even Chelsea with horrible Torres up top for most of the season have managed to find goals from other sources.

Well - that's something more agreeable :-) Your original statement just called for the obvious reply :-) I agree with that assessment, though when you have to "find goals from other sources" it can get a bit tricky...<br /><br />-- Wed Mar 06, 2013 1:58 am --<br /><br />I think mods should rid of all "dzeko" threads as there is no single City player who gets more (undeserved) abuse than Edin.

I decided not to read these threads any more, and when I come back out of boredom - it just reassures why I try to avoid them...

Whenever you come back to one of these you're thinking "this poor guy should get the fuck out of here"...fortunately - in-game chants tell a different story.

Balotelli has gone and Aguero was injured so the other sources of goals were going to be slim on the ground. Dzeko had a good game and he came on we looked like we were going to get beat.

To respond to you and LoveCity similar comments about "..Another striker would have been playing and he would have contributed something more to the team."

Yes, both of you are correct!! Someone ELSE would definitively contributed more. But unfortunately none of our current 2 strikers we have on payroll. And that is the crux of the whole disagreement we have here. Edin scored important goals for City this season when none of our most critical players are performing (Silva/Tevez/Kun) to they extent the should.

Most of us bosnians will agree that he should be more clinical, less sloppy, fighting harder for f'in balls cuz it's obvious. I agree ! But what pisses us all off is that only he gets trashed by some of you, pointing out these facts game-in/game out WHILE it's obvious that untouchable duo (kun/silva) has no endless treads dissecting their sloppiness, missed passes, stumbling etc.

I still believe that you and others are just trolling us. I just cannot believe you are that retarded to see the obvious....

Re: Edin Dzeko legend

The thing with Edin is that he does score goals yes, many of which only require him to tap them in. but otherwise his work-rate is similar to a paraplegic in the sense that he doesn't do much than just stand there in the right place at the right time. not saying he is bad, but he could surely give more effort. his sloppiness causes him not to start which i think is good, he is our super-sub. and if he doesn't like that title, it will give him motivation to work harder. which is a win for us

Would you then call Aguero/Tevez/Silva/Mario incompetent and ineffective when Edin has to be brought in to rescue the game on 3-4 occasions? He is not a super-sub and he proved his contribution numerous times in the games he did start. He could and should improve on all levels however!! The FACT is that many games this season Tevez/Kun/Mario/Silva started playing "our style of the game" resulting in teams reading and shutting us down until Mancini out of desperation had to play Plan D(zeko).

For folks bashing him for "not adapting" to our tiki-taka style of play here is flip-side: are other City players incapable of making long, precise, out-of-nowhere crosses once in a while toward the f'n box like RVP used to get at Arsenal by Song? Just imagine where would we be if whole team, beginning with Mancini, started to play a bit more utilizing what Edin is best known for - fast-paced attacks - instead of stubbornly drilling the ball through the middle. Teams wouldn't know what hit them !
