Dzeko

[Hazy2]

Any dumming Down of Edin from me has way past now, he is a goal scorer, tika taka no, get the ball in the box and he scores, he misses few, they all do. He is not made of Glass, and he has been fantastic when needed, City Hero for me over the last month. Two great headers. Feed the ZEK and he will score.

I hope he gets the winner on Sunday, he'll then get the headlines and the plaudits.

He's one of those players that doesn't get the credit he deserves imo, he's not the most elegant or pretty to watch playing and as such I suppose the media spotlight focusses elsewhere but he's proven his effectiveness time and time again and I'd be happy to see him get his dues.

Beginning to really love the lad and I hope we don't get rid of in the summer, even for 30 mil

[MilnersJaw]

very polarizing figure.

misses far too many sitters and takes practically 10 tap ins to score just once every game.

very slow and can barely dribble at all or hold the ball up, completely useless on the counter attack.

but as many have said, has scored vital goals. I personally don't like his crying like a baby attitude if he didn't start or how lazy he sometimes is.

If jovetic can get up to speed with how the team plays and get some run ins I think given the chances dzeko gets on a plate, jovetic could finish them.

Well said.I still can't get those who think he misses sitters and is the only top striker who does that. THEY ALL DO.

This is what i was talking about .This guy hate him it's clear like blue sky.If he can drop such a dirt and almost be blind on City player in form ,usless in counter ?!Common !!!Goal vs West Brom , Goal vs Spurs (header) , Newcastle game at start watch it again , hes run from Arsenal box and pass to Adam wo leave it for Kun, Aris goal , goal Notts County That keep us in FA witch we win ( that was also counter), Goal to rags 6 one , goal to Real Madrid, goal to QPR in Champs season ect . ect. Wake the fuck up ?! Miss many sitters (10 and score one now that is funny ) like he is the only one (Negredo did not have anything to miss 4 monts ) , Big guys can't drible per few examples , and u don't watch or remember some stuff. I know hes bad at trap ball hes most of the time on our style of play turn around back to goal with defender on hes back) but hes a lot better this year , hes not lazy anymore u just can't see that from some reason i can't get .This guy just wait hes first bad game to shovel crap on him on City player and i really do not get that. Now u can say u love Dzeko bla bla bla but what i said was true wit few example.He has 15 assist and 26 goals and he is City player and half of stuff u said are not true.

Edin scores too many vital goals for me to worry about the occasional 'tap in" he may miss.

He uses his pace wisely and dribbles very well, very often and somewhat casually nutmegging opponents.

He has justifiably concentrated Pellegrini about his attacking options by complaining about not starting a match. He is far more reliable and less injury prone than either Aguero or Negrado.

He is wisely helping Jovetic to get up to speed in the PL. It still remains to be seen if he can produce the goals that Edin regularly does.

Edit: I don't think he is a polarising figure at all.

"If".

Fact is Dzeko's kept going when the others have been injured or lost form. He scores consistently. whatever else his flaws. And that's the reason why City should keep him. He's as an integral and valuable member of the squad.

Clearly you're lack of understanding English shows here. I explained why people have issues with him even though he scores goals, hence polarising figure. Hate is a strong word And nobody here hates him. I don't need a history lesson on him either, don't spunk too soon.

And Zurich it doesn't matter if you don't think he is polarising, the facg that this thread is filled with mix responses shows that he is, obviously on this board I mean.

So u where joking when u say hes shit in counter, i get hes flaws but if u can stand behind him now when he is carry us ( not alone ) but a big part of that to title . if now u can say just congrats Edin, like many others , then ok.Hate is maybe strong word but u don't like him(City player who bang really big goals now ).Sorry i don't understand that from a point of fan perspective.I love all players of City . Yes i can go nuts when they make crap but they are great bunch of players.I have favorites like Zabba and Silva Milner and Yaya, but not one player is on don't like him list.I feel so sorry for Negredo now really and i would like him to get back in form because we need all players at top notch.I would like Edin to stay because i think he love City but part of me kind a think he would be more apprishiate somewhere else especially in Germany. This is not an argue in any way i just think u should give a man a chance.

As cit.revenge knows I have been a very vocal critic of Edin's but this season he has been key for us and, in my view much improved.

There are still elements of his game that can frustrate when he seems to lack aggression and work rate and his touch is awful BUT those elements have been less prominent this season. He clearly has worked harder and, as someone rightly noted in the last match thread it seems clear that Pelle or one of the coaching staff is directing him mid game to do things like attack the front post and fight off his man to get to the ball first....that is clearly paying dividends.

He has I think benefitted from both the faith shown by Manuel and also the run of games he has had.

I was 100% in favour of selling him this summer, now I don't think we should.

His big challenge is still maintaining his "level" when everyone is fit and he needs to be rotated. That said, same goes for Alvaro when he rediscovers his form. No changes needed in the striking department for me this summer which is a great position to be in.

Yap that is it when he deserve then ok like any other player but milner jaw post is to much. I agree we score how much 150 goals , amazing stuff that we can focus our transfers in area where we really need. And i congratulate your honest opinion that he is much improve in running in fighting , hes positioning was always good but how he trick and throw Vlaar on ground was great. I wanna one great CD and somebody to rest Yaya and Silva but have similar effect on field. Negredo will come back , Aguero will be better i hope with injury and Jovetic will be stronger.

[MilnersJaw]

you are correct it doesn't matter what i think. Just like it doesn't matter what you think.

Completely missing the point as usual. Is English your second language too? People can't seem to comprehend reading comprehension around here.

And city revenge you can piss off you miserable cunt. Saying dzeko is shit on the counter isn't saying he's shit.

Before you ask, English is indeed my second language, but I can still pick your post apart. I might understand the sentiment behind it, but it's ridiculously exaggerated.

misses far too many sitters and takes practically 10 tap ins to score just once every game.

The lad has scored 12 goals in the league since New Year. He might have missed a sitter or two, but certainly not 120. In my humble opinion, he's a more prolific goal scorer than Aguero. The latter brings more to the team, but misses just as many - if not more - easy chances than Dzeko. Dzeko also creates a lot of chances for himself, by making good runs. He keeps on trying and doesn't go hiding. It's not a coincidence that he always seems to be in the right place at the right time.

very slow and can barely dribble at all or hold the ball up, completely useless on the counter attack.

Part of this is/was true. When his confidence is low, his first touch let's him down. That said, he's still a class target player when in form. I would argue that he looks more awkward just because of the unbelievable talent around him, but when push comes to shove, he's been better at leafing our line than Negredo. I also think he would look fantastic in a mid-table club, where there're less demands on him to contribute to the tiki-taka.

I also don't think he's particularly slow. He doesn't have the explosive pace of Aguero (but who does?), but he's quite fast once he's up to speed. I would also class him as a fairly good dribbler. Be honest, which similar strikers in the Prem would do a better job in our team? I would say RvP and possibly Sturridge. Certainly not Etoo, Giroud or Adebayor.

I don't agree on the counter attack comment either. We've scored plenty from the counter with Dzeko as an integral part. Don't forget that fabulous pass in the 6-1 derby win!

but as many have said, has scored vital goals. I personally don't like his crying like a baby attitude if he didn't start or how lazy he sometimes is.

I do agree that he shouldn't air his disappointment in the press. It hasn't happened this season, though, which leads me to believe that it partly had to do with Mancini's lack of man management skills. I also agree on the lazy part, but the Count seems to have addressed that and Dzeko seems to have listened.

If jovetic can get up to speed with how the team plays and get some run ins I think given the chances dzeko gets on a plate, jovetic could finish them.

I hope you're right, since that would make Jovetic a really fucking good striker - absolute world class. What I don't agree with is Dzeko being served chances on a plate. He works hard to create chances for himself, and he does it well.

Hehehe somebody is angry and strong so he insult over internet how menstrual of you, and thanks Mr Nool for making the point clear , that is what i mean . Hes post is almost all negative and false about Edin i said almost. But let him be, we cunts are all wrong .And i m sure that hes not the only one complaining about Bob but is only who said that in open.

[Bridge'srightfoot]

There seems to be a reluctance to praise him. If it was Aguero or Negredo in this type of form the term 'world class' would be branded about an awful lot.

He has 12 since the New Year and is the top scorer this year in the league, he scores huge goals in huge games. He's not world class, he never will be but he scores plenty of goals and is always fit. What more do people want?
All things considered he is our most reliable striker in terms of form and fitness. Why anybody would want rid baffles me.
His goals have put us on the brink of the title.
Just support him.
