Lets be honest, in the first half yesterday we didn't have one stand out performer. The difficulty I see Dzeko having is that Pelle wants to play a high pressing game, both Aguero and Negredo understand this and it can be seen clearly by the fans when they chase every ball, just like Tevez used to do. Dzeko isn't used to this style so will take time to adjust. Yesterday his touch was poor too so that made him stand out as a lesser performer to some of the other players, it doesn't make him a bad player though. I do think he is going to have to accept being rotated, although I expect both him and Negredo to play against Stoke to counteract Huth and Shawcross, defensively as much as anything else.
With four competitions to play in all the strikers will get playing time, I'd like to see what Jovetic can do and possibly by giving Merlin a break from the Stokie battering rams we might get a chance to have a look at him.
