If we are not going to cross the ball then it's pointless him being in the team.
This. Dzeko is not going to run all around the pitch like Tevez used to do and like Aguero could; and if he does it, then he will be much less effective because he's not so fast and he's, admittedly, got a worst touch than Aguero or even Balotelli. But, put Dzeko into the box and pepper it with high crosses and you will have the League top scorer.
I'm not saying he has limited technique because that's not true and we have seen it at times, with great passes or even with some long range efforts like the one he scored with at Spurs; but his best quality is his aerial power
especially into the box and we should exploit it when he's in the side, or he becomes an average/good striker, nothing more.
