Dzeko

[Original Dub]

Its like de ja vu. The guy is not suited to a lone striker's role in this team. When he has a partner, he's far better. A lot of that team sucked yesterday but the usual suspects seem to have over looked the fact that dzeko was right behind aguero for the same simple tap in and it would have been hom soaking the glory just as easily. That's the fine line we are dealing with in this case. But one idiot in particular uses every opportunity to have a go at one of his own players. And when bridge's right foot isn't doing that, he's generally making a fucking retard out of himself.

Five yards to the penalty spot? Dzeko is shite? You never said dzeko was shite? Scoring from open play is the same as scoring a penalty? Where's the nearest window, I could do with a good lick?

Its endless...

You just seem fucking content to defend him to the death, unable to criticize him. I exaggerated maybe, have you never? But still it was an easy, easy header and one you have to take so late in such a big game. Considering you go on how great he is, how did he miss it seriously? Wasn't even a credible attempt. Last night he also regained his touch of an elephant. Trapping the ball great distances.


Scoring from open play is the same as scoring from a penalty?
Never said that, I said sometimes scoring a penalty takes as much skill as scoring from open play. What's harder, a penalty or Aguerro's goal? I also said you shouldn't dismiss a goal just because it came from the penalty spot.
Everyone else is coming round to my way of thinking, apart from a handful of games he's been poor for us.

Oh dear...

First of all, I don't go on about how great he is you fucking cretin, I merely point out that your silly dislike for the lad from day one is making you out to be a retard because it makes you say silly things like he's a shite player and has the first touch of an elephant. A player who has already achieved quite a lot more than most and is only 24 or so.
He is not anywhere near my favourite player (you might be thinking of Palus not me?), but I know how good he is when utilised properly and on his game, where as you think he's shite and nowhere near as good a finisher as Suarez. (how's that little face off going so far BTW?)

What's harder, a penalty or Aguero's goal? That's the most ridiculous thing you've come out with - you really do surpass yourself each post.

"Everyone else is coming away to my way of thinking..."
Apologies, THAT was the most ridiculous thing you've come out with. Once again you self-surpassed.

The reason you look like a fucking idiot most of the time is not because you jump on the fact Dzeko has a bad game before you slate any other player.... its not because you constantly contradict yourself... its not even because you don't really understand which is harder - a close set piece or an open play finish (pretty important when trying to understand some footballing basics).

Its because you have a knack of mixing all of these elements into almost each post.

I'm sure with talent like that you've been on this board before under a different username.

Congrats, there's definitely an award on the way to you.

Terrible last night, worst game in a city shirt by far.

This said he could have ended up with a brace if marchena and aguero hadn't had cut in before him for the goals, he was waiting beside both for tap ins.

That's the kind of striker he is.

Frustrating but he will get goals.

But he had his chance to get goals. Two brilliant chances in the second half. Souness was bang on the money, you have to take your chances in big games and he bottled it big time last night.
To be fair he wasn't the only poor player last night though.

As others has said he's had one game where he's really looked a world beater and that was against Spurs but he can't live off that forever and he needs to step it up before he finds himself loaned out to some Bundesliga side.

Hahaha... take a fucking breather, you'll burn yourself out!

Comedy GOLD!!

He's the type of player who needs to play every game, played the first four games of the season (including the charity shield) scored 7 goals and then he gets dropped? I just think he needs to play on sunday and the game after etc to get back in form

[FA cup winners 2006]

don't think he has been great this season, except for the spurs game and even in that game he wasted 2 or 3 good opportunities before he got his 1st goal.

his 1st touch needs to improve, it has been shite since he arrived and as soon as it looks like improving he goes back to his usual shite the next match.

he is also a distraction to other players who think he is an outlet ball, thinking he can hold it up.

ballotelli needs to start the next few games and edin will just have to wait his turn.

But he's till 'adjusting'. You can't possibly expect a 25 million pound striker to have a decent first touch or put away simple chances until he's been at the club for at least two years.

How many goals has he scored this season?

Also, you do realise he would have tapped in both goals had the player in front not done so?

Fantastic positional awareness. Sometimes looks like he lacks confidence, bit that happens to the best of them.

What I say about the lad is pretty obvious. What you say about him is total horseshit. He's shite and has the touch of an elephant? Then you say you were proved wrong. Then you say others are coming around to your way of thinking? Confused much?

Make up your mind and stick to it.

1.) 6, but 4 have been in one game and since the Spurs game he has been poor.
2.) So what you're saying is he was second to the ball both times? Whose to say he wouldn't have messed them up like he messed up the other sitters he had?
3.) Ask any pundit or fan, his touch is shite.

2 of his goals against spurs were special, other than that anyone would have scored any of his other goals this season.

with the quality of supply we have, even a half decent striker would profit.

[Bluedj]

Don't think he'll make the starting 11 on the Villareal performance somehow

[dazby]

I think you bitches are marking him way too harshly. If he wasn't getting on the ball or in position to create the chances I'd be worried.

I'm not worried at all. He's going well.

[Foreverinbluedreams]

I say we weigh him to see if he's heavier than a duck. If it turns out he is then we're left with no other option than to burn him. Who's with me?

To those saying he had one decent game, did he win player of the month for August based on one game? Really? Give your heads a wobble.

Someone said he's club footed, see his opener for Bosnia against France last week.

Someone also mentioned about him not using his left foot, see his fourth goal against Spurs.

He had a 'mare against Villareal, there's no getting away from that, his touch was appalling all night. He did well to get in some good positions but should make them count, especially that header toward the end.

Who needs fans of other clubs or pundits slagging of our own when we do such a good job of it ourselves?

Edit: that should read weighs the same as a duck rather than heavier, my humblest apologies.

Great post pal.

Premier league player of the month. Only two good goals though? Total shite.

Listen BRF you said dzeko was shite with the touch of an elephant. Then after he received player of the month on the back of an amazing goal in the charity shield and then the opening month you said you were proved wrong.

Then you did a full u turn AGAIN.

Now you are saying EVERYONE is starting to see things your way?

There is no fucking "your way" you clown. You cant even make up your own mind, let alone everyone else's!!

Now, he was poor against villareal and at times against other teams, just like most of the strikers in the league.

He will be rotated and he will have times where he looks amazing and times where he struggles, depending on both his form and how the team plays.

You will not convince me otherwise. Try starting with convincing yourself because you have no real opinion of your own.

You confused little boy.

it was one of those days for him, I dont doubt his ability.

BUT, am I the only one to see Džeko doing a bit of diving when in villareal penalty area?

[Hazy2]

Dzeko gives me the impression when he is hot he is on fire like AJ. Tuesday he had a mare, move on forget it.

[CityGer]

Some overly harsh stuff on this thread. On the whole he's had a good start to the season but he had a bad game.

What he needs to do more of for me is to hold the ball up better and contribute more when he's not on fire. His back to goal work was awful the other night. The ball really did bounce off him and he needs to work on this so that he can effective and make a contribution even when not firing.

[Bridge'srightfoot]

I thought he'd proved me wrong after Spurs, I thought he'd turned a corner but since that he's gone back to his form of last season where he was utter shite. I don't doubt there's a good player in there somewhere but he just isn't showing it. He's not even been that great a finisher since joining us. How did he miss those two chances the other night? In such a big game. Especially the header, for someone who's so good in the air, that effort was pathetic. Not only that but he seems incapable of trapping a ball played to his feet. Most times it bounces off him, hence the touch of an elephant.

Certain posters can pretend that issue doesn't exist but everyone can see it. He needs to step it up because right now he sticks out like a sore thumb.

No mate, I saw it too - I THINK it was Dzeko's way of saying I'm playing shite but could still get something for the team if I fall over and convince the ref. I hope his form picks up so he doesn't do it again though because it's not nice to see.
