Stevan Jovetic (continued)

[Bluekiwi]

From memory we only had a couple of shots where Czeh had to make a save - one of those was from Jovetic. How many shots on target from the Beast and Dzeko - I cannot remember any?
So, I'd start Jovetic on Saturday.

I agree, would like to see Jovetic starting

 

[kun]

Negredo and Jovetic for Norwich, can see them causing all sorts of mayhem together.

 

[BETTER-DEAD-THAN-RED]

yeah im definitely up for jovetic starting now. Dzeko can sit on the bench and think about all the chances hes missed. If Jovetic does shit then you can always bring dzeko back on.

 

[keemcfc]

1. It's been mentioned several times, but ideal pairings are 1 of Aguero/Jovetic AND Negredo/Dzeko. Not Aguero/Jovetic, and not Negredo/Dzeko. Jovetic's style is too similar to Aguero's.

2. He is still looking for his place, on several occasion he almost bumped into his team mates.

Other than that, if he stays healthy, it's all going to be good.

Don't see any reason why it wouldn't be Aguero and Jovetic. In fact, given time, I suspect we will see them play together a lot.

That's what I was thinking, Aguero and Tevez did quite well together and I just have a feeling Jovetic could click with the team better, rather than how Tevez just kinda did everything for himself

Negredo and Jovetic for Norwich, can see them causing all sorts of mayhem together.

Can't wait to see Jovetic hit match fitness because I really think he can make an impact.
Against Chelsea Negredo looked out of sorts as if he was still carrying an injury so I think he may be on the bench and Dzeko will partner Jovetic.

The law of averages says that sooner or later Dzeko is going to have a game where everything goes in rather than over the bar.
Norwich would be a good place for him to click!

Unfortunately his profligacy in front of goal is far too frequent to be labelled as bad luck or a bad run. Even when he scores, he misses plenty. In the famous 6-1 win, he scored 2 (one of which was a fluke) but seriously should have had 5.

 

[Cosmin]

According to Coombs, Jovetic revealed: "I never regretted the choice. Sure these 4-5 months have been difficult at the beginning because I was not playing - I got injured often but now it is all behind.

"I never doubted myself even in the most difficult moments. I knew that I could play in this team and now I have to prove.

"[Why did I join] City? Matija Nastasic and I talked a lot; he convinced me. I decided to come here because there is a major project with many players.

"I should have come the year before, but I was happy and I had a nice season with Montella and Fiorentina. There was also Real Madrid, but I chose City."

Good to hear. Hoping Jo Jo can do really well here.

 

[kupest]

Jovetic told beIN SPORTS the other day that Pellegrini wanted him while in charge at Real Madrid. Clearly a big fan and easy to see why. From City Watch.

 

[Kompany is King]

Jovetic to start v Norwich, I hope.

I expect Dzeko to play from the start as Negredo was not fit v Chelsea and further rest may help him. We do have big games coming up.

 

[rachaelmcfc]

Ever since Jovetic played against wigan, I was thoroughly impressed with his performance; the skills, the power of moving forward, the awareness of players around, the execution of his shot into the back of the net! The kid seems great, and I'm positive he'll have a great future with us! Just hope he starts against Norwich and gets to prove he's worthy (:

He certainly needs to step up the amount of game-time he's playing.

He had just over 30 minutes on Monday and around 50 minutes against Watford and the only way he is going to play for longer is by starting games.

Even if he only plays an hour and Beast isn't fit enough, we have options. If we're comfortably ahead, Lopes could replace him.

And if the game is still tight, Jimmy can come on, though, of course, this would mean a change of formation.

With Agüero still out, we need Jojo to pick up the slack and finally show us what he can do.<br /><br />-- 05 Feb 2014, 18:32 --<br /><br />

Those 30 minutes he played were more influential than some players....Dzeko and Negredo, not having ago at them there, but say Jovetic had played the full match we may have got some form of result!
But hey ho, with the injuries we have, obviously the Aguero situation isn't great for us but it will allow Jovetic to get extra time out on the pitch, and hopefully a full match, boost his confidence and win our trust, which I think he can do!

Bollocks.

I remember the Tevez and Aguero partnership working superbly and they were very similar.

He certainly needs to step up the amount of game-time he's playing..

He was injured for 6 months. He can't play 90 minutes just yet.

Yes I know he was.

But he's managed around 50 minutes and more than 30 minutes in the last two games.

I'm sure he could play for an hour.

I agree. He's played a decent amount off the bench in the games against west ham, watford, spurs and chelsea, I think he's ready to start a game now and play at least 60-70 minutes.
