Not really random though is it? Goatee even said in his book that he figured out he was being booed because city fans saw a lack of effort. He then upped his work rate, combine that with his goals and he was a cult hero.
Nobody stopping Dzeko breaking into a light jog once in a while.
Exactly - if someone mentions Goater, you don't immediately think lazy, mard arsed bastard. Dzeko's goal per minute ratio will stand up with any City striker, but that's unlikely to be how he's remembered. Improving your goal rate is difficult, putting the effort in isn't. To make it worse, he hasn't even got Mario to be compared favourably against anymore.
