Should Dzeko start on Sunday?

[Berkovic_blue]

Hard to believe he won PL Player of the Month on tonights showing. Mario to start?

Definitely not Dzeko. Don't know what's happened to his august form, but it's gone. Mario and Kun for me.

Only this.

Dzeko was shockingly bad tonight, seems to be a very patchy player

 

[super_city_si]

Bobby has a headache for selection. Balo for Dzecko is a no brainer, but who to pick from DeJong, Barry, Milner, Yaya, Aguero? I didnt put Nasri as i dont think he deserves a start and Silva is in automatically.

Really Milner is the easiest for Bobby to leave out as he'll take it on the chin but he's also the most deserving of the start. I think Barry is playing well too and De Jong is provides solidity. I'd leave out Yaya.

For me, Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Barry, De Jong, Milner, Silva, Aguero, Balotelli

balotelli and dzeko on bench for me

 

[Blue Whale]

Nope, definitely not. He lost the ball four times when he should of held it up. One of which times lead, four passes on, to a direct shot on goal. When the team is in full tilt attacking flow you have to hold the ball up. Ballo and Kun for me. Either that or Kun and Silva as second striker.

Looked like the Dzeko of last season, tonight.

Shouldn't have 'rested' him after he banged in 4 against Spurs

 

[super_city_si]

The crowd at the swamp will be all over Balotelli and thats the environment he thrives in. Just look how he turned it up a notch after the Villa fans gave him grief.

Swap Kun for Barry, andDe Jong patrolling in front of the back four.

you want aguero to play DM? ;)

Don't be daft. Stick him in at CB and shove Joleon up front.

how about

hart
richards aguero barry Kolo
de jong silva
lescott savic nasri
kompany

Easy to say with hindsight but I agree.

Even more frustrating now though as we've seen what he's capable of - needs to refind his August form, and fast

 

[mrbelfry]

With his back to goal he always wants to do a quick pass to the right back. He was massively underhitting that pass today but with Micah in for Zabs it could be effective. However in terms of form he is our worst forward at present. He should be playing much closer to the box to be effective

Beat the vermin by confusing the fuck out of them, eh? A bit of ''out of the box'' thinking there. I like the cut of your jib; you can stay!
