The 'New' Edin Dzeko

[King Kev]

Strange that people are saying that our top goalscorer doesn't score enough goals.

Tevez has 15 goals, Dzeko has 14.

Strange that people are saying that our second highest top goalscorer doesn't score enough goals.

None of our strikers have scored enough goals mate.

Tevez and aguero have the ability to score at least 50 goals between them in a season and I think they have just over half that tally.

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

Tevez has 15 goals, Dzeko has 14.

He is our top league scorer.

[DoomMerchant]

He is our top league scorer.

And he's half worth a shit most times.

Says everything about our side and not about him.

And finally we reach the crux of the matter.

Spot on.

Any striker having one in every two scoring ratio in league gets pass from me. On top of that, I agree with Kevin that he has worked on his game.

[Ted Hughes]

There is nothing that clever about Dzeko's scoring rate, it is the kind of rate any striker should be achieving in this team. The fact that only Dzeko has done it (but largely been shite outside the box) is nothing to cheer about. It just shows how shit our attacking unit has been.

Lukaku has more league goals than any of our strikers.

Adam Le Fondre has 1 more than Aguero & Tevez & 2 less than Dzeko as has Juan Mata. Cazorla has one goal less than Dzeko, as does Lampard, Fellaini, Stephen Fletcher.

People who say City have 'done ok' this season, are talking bollocks.

We are nowhere near where we should be, with the players we have.

I'm not saying he has been Leo fucking Messi but I'm saying that he has contributed at an acceptable level. More than can be said of many other players.

The lad deserved a goal on Saturday but unfortunately one of those days when it just doesn't happen. Would like to see him stay, its there for all to see that he his working on his game more around the set up around him, than us changing the formation to suit his style. He's young enough to adapt.

Picking the top 1 from teams to compare to our 3 is a tad distorted tho.

While I mostly agree with your point, if they all ended up on 17-20 it's still better than say lukaku getting 20-25 surely.

Yap the thing is all three of them don't have the same minutes one guy have in other team so it's not easy to compere, and yes our strikers should score more , they are strikers that is there job .But u must admit it' s not all fault on them Silva is not Silva from last year in half of games and well Nasri, our midfield was not in form also most of the games.And u can't expect really to Edin be any better outside the box then he was against Barnsley. So what we need is better game from him outside box, Aguero to start scoring clear chances and Tevez look really good last game, but then again it was shityest team i saw all season on Etihad with Stoke.Still think in this set up is better to sell Edin and bring pace player , because we don't have counter ,we don't have cross,we wanna play tika taka and Edin is just not up to that kind of squad.

[Alex Sapphire]

Tevez has 15 goals, Dzeko has 14.

He is our top league scorer.

he's scored 12 in the league and played the equivalent of just 14 full games. Shocking

[SomeMichaelGuy]

Stole this from the Official City Facebook page - Big Eds' stats now that he's reached 100 games. Realise without a comparison it doesn't really mean much but make of it what you will.

Pretty god damn eficient. Especially considering he couldn't get going for the first six months.

That's what I'm saying.

The silly Dzeko fanboys here piss me off just as much as the next man but they shouldn't cloud the judgement on the player. I think Dzeko has been getting better and better. Improving his game in lot of ways. I don't see much room for critism for his league performances this year.

I've picked Lukaku, who is about 12, Le Fondre, who used to play for Stockport County, Lampard, Mata, Cazorla & Fellaini who are midfield players & Fletcher, who is dogshit.

The top scorers are: Luis Suárez, 22, Robin Van Persie 19, Gareth Bale 16, Demba Ba 15, Michu 15, then Lukaku then Dzeko, who has the same number of goals as Ricky Lambert & Benteke.

Berbatov has one more than Tevez & Aguero btw.
