Edin Dzeko

[yayacoco]

Please give Edin a break.. Gets so much abuse each time, either they win or loose. Can't we just thank him for what he has done for the club and praise him as long as hes a city player, instead of giving him shit each fucking time he plays? I mean look; a fucking topic with 157 pages. Thats insane!
Feel really bad for Dzeko. One of my favourite players at city, just because of the header vs QPR, he will always be a legend in my eyes.

I'm starting to get the picture that some "fans" will always talk trash about him because he's Bosnian which doesn't sit well with their serbian, slovenian, croatian roots.. for that I say go fuck yourself and take your primitive balkan views with you.

Unfortunately thats exactly how things work here in balkans mate. Well said!

So, just to clarify, some of the "fans" of City on this board are talking "trash" about Dzeko, not because they don't feel he's good enough, or because they are unhappy with his lack of effort, but because they are actually Serbian, Slovenian or Croatian and it's a hatred of Dzeko based on his Bosnian nationality?

What total, unfettered, bullshit.

Whilst I'll accept that out there in the World there will be people who dislike Dzeko based on his nationality, the fact that you're trying to dismiss our many issues with him as some form of racial, or national, problem is just totally unacceptbale to me. We are City fans, we're here because we support City, we're not here because one of City's players happens to come from the country we are also from. We're also not here because we're following Dzeko from club to club with the sole intention of "talking trash" about him due to his Bosnian heritage.

The reason we say Dzeko doesn't put in enough effort, hasn't got a good enough first touch, doesn't use his size to dominate defenders, isn't quick enough, needs too many chances to score a goal, has a piss poor attitude etc etc is because we've seen his performances for City, the team we support, and that's what we've seen. I, and the vast, vast majority of others, couldn't give the tiniest of shits if Dzeko is Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian or Outer Mongolian, what we do care about is that he plays well enough to be at City. Too regularly he doesn't. So, please, do fuck off with all this "He's Bosnian, so people hate him" bollocks, as I find it offensive and dismissive of our legitimate grievances with his overall performances.

On the issue of tonights game, you can't argue that Dzeko definitely had a positive impact on the result, really good assist, nice finish to get the second goal, clearly he helped us win the game. But christ he did a lot wrong as well. For 90 minutes he was very poor indeed. He wasn't alone in that, but given he's been a peripheral figure this season, he didn't do anything to push his claim for more starts. Everything we've been saying about Dzeko for months now was on display, the poor control, the lack of movement, the lack of effort/desire, it was all there. The fact he suddenly turned it on for 15 minutes and turned the game on it's head was extremely frustrating as it showed what he's capable of when he actually gives a shit.

You put what I was trying to say much more eloquently haha.

guess u ddint watch the game or just ignored the gifs noise posted. but carry on with the rant its funny tbh. when people say where here to support city and yet the woman and moan about our own players and say the dumbest shit possible . not just on dzeko (even though hes hated on the most), garcia(contrary to mass hysteria and pure ignorance hes played well in his past games), hart ect. of coarse u can criticize players but some of these keyboard warriors go above and beyond.

He was bought to score goals for Gods sake he isn't Messi or Aguero. You can't expect him to dribble like those two are doing. He's doing what he's paid for. Some City fans on here are just ungrateful spoiled kids. I don't see these kind of posts on Bayern Munich forums towards Gomez or Mandzukic.

 

[bobom]

I don't see the problem: he set up the first goal, scored the second. Before then he didn't do a lot, but then NO ONE in the team did much to write home about.
Personally, I'm just glad he provided some quality when we needed it, coz we might have easily been knocked out of the competition last night...

Just walk away and never come back a shitstorm of epic proportions is on your way... :/

I'm sorry but he was very poor for over 90 mins today...those gifs can't hide those facts. Had to listen to the second half on the radio coverage and I honestly heard his name maybe once or twice. Thankfully he eventually turned up and helped us win the game.

No, unfortunately, I did watch the game. As for the GIFS, well they don't work for me as I'm at work and the settings here block them. However, assuming they are GIFS of last nights game, I don't need to watch them because, as has previously been established, I actually watched the game so I've already seen what happened last night.

I'm not really sure why I bother to argue the case that Dzeko isn't a slightly larger version of Messi, as those I'm arguing with don't seem to have a realistic grasp of football in the slightest and are about as blinkered on the Dzeko issue as it's humanly possible to be. He's a footballer, and a human being, he's capable of doing things well, but equally capable of fucking up and doing things wrongly. The issue I have with him is the latter occurs more regularly than the former. An issue successive managers have now had with him, as both Mancini and now Pellegrini have deemed him not consistent enough to warrent regular starts. But, of course, they both don't know what their doing either, only those who worship at the feet of Dzeko truly understand how exceptionally gifted a footballer he really is. All those times he miss controls the ball and loses it, he's lulling the opposition into a false sense of security so he can actually control the ball later and completely dupe them...........
