We have all seen strikers go through periods where nothing goes in, and they start snatching at shots, making things worse. It's the fact that one of his biggest strengths was imposing himself physically on the centre half, and coming away with something in many of the 50:50s - being a great "outlet" ball.
He is not doing that at the moment, so it has to be pain from the injury and the psycologocal impact of that.
Looking forward to seeing him tomorrow. He will get through this, he's a ballsy lad.
I talked to a Sevilla fan earlier in the thread that kinda intimated that's just part of Negredo.
When he turned up he played out of his skin and now he's had a blip. Likely he'll average out at a more true level somewhat below his early season form, like he has most of his career.
A very good player, but one we may have already seen the absolute best of.

he is certainly well off form but today he looked better than he has done recently in other aspects of his game
The sitaution with the strikers is worrying as dzeko being so inconsistent and negrado being innjured/out of form as well ...bloody good job we have goals in midfield but we cannt always rely on those
Our strikers need to start scoring again soon and fast

Negredo misses a sitter and Dzeko gets the criticism. I love these boards.

Im just stating the huge difference bewtween the tow chances.......negrado worked and battled sidwell for the ball for his.......dzekos was acorss straight to his feet......
both should have been goals but dzekos was down to lack of application so comparing the two (as someone just did which is waht prompted my initiaal post ) isnt correct
