Edin Dzeko

[BoyBlue_1985]

Dzeko is fucking shithouse and instead of sulking about not playing should be counting his lucky stars he is on a contract that pays him in excess of £100k a week. Wherever he ends up next he won't be earning anywhere near that, as he has been found out. I can't believe Pelle didnt ship him on in the Summer when he had the chance. I have 100% confidence In Pelle at the moment, but that decision baffles me.

Who has the most MOM apperences since Pellegrini took over? Who has scored most goals since Pellegrini took over? People forget so easily..

Well there has been 3 games
I think Negredo is top scorer with 2 goals
Also think we have 2 different man of the match awards

Thats because pre season and friendlies dont account for anything unless you are called Pele and want to claim scoring 1000 career goals

I've watched him stink the place up since he got here. A couple of half decent performances isn't going to alter my opinion of him. Looks like he has reverted to type already anyway. Negredo should have been our target man from day one in the prem. His inclusion affects the team as a whole as his workrate appears to have a positive affect on the rest of the players. Watching Dzeko swan about up front makes my blood boil. Shouldn't be in the starting 11.

To be fair Aguero is the one that should be dropped.

 

[cucumberman]

None of Negredo Aguero and Dzeko deserves to hold a starting place at the moment. Each has gone missing at times, but one thing for certain, these three are great scary players when they hit top form. In terms of current workrate and effort, Negredo is up there but alot still needs to be seen.

But I wont lose sleep on whoever starts. Them three are the right boys for the job and have goals between them,

While they have been too few and far between, his performances against Spurs in 2011 and Newcastle for the opener this season (even though he failed to score), do remind me and others why he was so highly rated from Wolfsburg. That volley he scored against Milan was world class as well in the Audi Cup. Just wish we could see it more consistently.

Yeah, I've lost count of the number of times that Negredo has gone missing this season.

Negredo was missing the entire first half of the Hull game. Not good enough!

He still made a bigger contribution than Edin, that half ;-)

Despite that wink you'll have incurred the wrath of the Edin hordes; prepare thyself.

Surely you're joking.
Negredo has played 77 minutes of competitive football for City and scored 2 goals (3 if not for an awful call from the linesman).

Aguero has been pants as well. I would drop him and put Rodwell in the middle with Yaya and Fernandinho. If we are dropping one striker though it has to be Dzeko, as he and Negredo occupy similar areas on the pitch and would only get in eachother's way.

 

[decmancity]

Aguero won't get any form or fitness sat on the bench.

 

[Joe Hart's Dandruff]

Aguero won't get any form or fitness sat on the bench.

Well maybe he needs to have time on the bench to think about being a team player. Its fine if you are a greedy striker and you are getting goals, going oast players and at least having some shots on target. Far too often Aguero runs up blind alleys with the head down, not even considering passing or looking for support. It's a bloody shame, as undoubtedly he is a class player. He's been underperfroming for a long time now though.

There is kind of a funny saying in Argentina.

- If you have one Argentinian on the team, you have a great team.
- Two and you have, half a team.
- Three Argentinians and you have no team.

 

[Deepest Blue]

Aguero won't get any form or fitness sat on the bench.

After missing the pre-season he isn't as sharp as some of the others.
Stay with him and he will repay in spades IMO, particularly playing just behind Negredo.

If Dzeko plays tomorrow just hope Jovetic is also in the team or I fear for him.

I agree and I think edin will benefit from jovetic up front ..aguero doesn't have the playmaking abilities as jovetic and he's a goal threat I have confidence in that Balkan connection

Stoke's Asmir Begovic: Only Falcao and Lewandowski can compare to Man City's Edin Dzeko

Begovic told Stoke City's official website: “In my opinion he is one the three best number nines in the world along with Falcao and Robert Lewandowski; so he is somebody that we have certainly got to keep our eye on during the game.

Begovic is smoking some good weed. Hopefully he is high tomorrow.

Well, at least since he hasnt played today - he can't be a regular SCAPEGOAT....this weekend at least.

What I've been saying for past 9 months was so obvious today - it doesnt matter much who we have upfront...with this style of build-up play (which I thought Pelle will change - but I'm not seeing it) and inept midfield,..strikers will struggle.

Neither Aguero nor Negredo were any kind of threat today...just not enough useful passes/creativity from midfield.
