The 'New' Edin Dzeko

[bigblue]

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.

Your whole "City is shit this year" attitude is beyond worn out. Boo hoo we're not as good as last year but we ain't shit. If you want to see shit, look at Arsenal (or City 10 years ago).

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.

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.

Suarez scores every 119m it says here, compared with Dzeko that means waiting an extra 15 minutes between goals.
Bale in the Prem scores every 143 minutes. Nearly enough extra time to read one of your posts ;)

edit: Lukaku also scores less frequently than Edin

Bale isn't a striker & Lukaku is a kid on loan in his 1st season. Both play for lesser teams.

Dzeko scored half his goals as sub & the stat proves nothing, just as when Hernandez was at one time boasting the best goals per minute ratio in the history of the Premier League, it also meant fuck all.

Suarez tbf plays for a team few park the bus against, but we've all seen him play this season, & he looks like he will score more in pretty much all kinds of games & he is scoring more in a variety of ways.

Our strikers including Dzeko haven't looked as sharp as these blokes all season. Apart from Tevez who is good whether he scores or not, our attacking game has dropped below it's average standard & is rarely inspired. The sheer quality these blokes posess has occasionaly popped through & it's enough to win us many games, but it's nowhere near our full capability.

So is the "everything is great those rags are unstoppably wonderful" attitude you fuckers keep spewing out as a piss average rags team strolls it's way to the title.

No we aren't shit, we are average. Really fucking average.

I've been calling Arsenal shit for fucking years & you know why ? Because over the years, like us & Chelsea now, they have let those cunts win titles at a fucking canter when they should have been pushing them all the way.

No way should that sour faced old shitbag have so many titles. A decent percentage of them are purely down to him doing his job to a decent standard at a time others have failed to do theirs. The league is in turmoil this year, managers players changing all over the shop. Only two teams had stability; us & them.

Their players & manager have performed to their ability & cashed in, ours have performed at 50%.

This fixtures pile up could yet cause them to fuck up. If it does, then they will be as fucking average as us.

So rags on a phenomenal run as far as points tally goes and us being second means we are average. I'd say that by definition both teams are anything but average.

I think it's pretty obvious what he's talking about mate.

Points spread themselves differently every season for a multitude of reasons. The league was a tougher one last year. We would have won it by about ten points had the referees been... eh... better.

This time, the rags deserve to be about 8 points ahead. I basically see city as being a lot worse this season.

I don't think there is any getting away from that.

Our goals for column bears witness to this

I've seen one truly fantastic side come to play at our place in the last few decades; the Arsenal side with Henry, Vieira etc. I actually enjoyed being hammered by them.

If it wasn't for our crappy spell mid season & our crappy Champions Lg performances, I would rate City as pretty close to that standard last season; at times we were stunning. We were also handicapped by refs & the rags helped by refs & other teams bottling it vs them. Imo, they were realistically about 15/20 points worse than us last season & fluked it. If they had won the league, it would have been a massive injustice.

This season, they have had a fraction of the help they had last year, plus we have had a lot less points docked, they are even worse at the back than they were last season & yet are running away with the league.

They have a keeper who can't catch the ball, Wellbeck, Raphael, Cleverley, Anderson, Nani, Jones, Smalling, Young, a crocked Vidic, a super crocked Ferdinand, a Dutch reject fullback & two 40 year old midfielders, most of which are regularly featuring in their team.

They used to have Rooney Ronaldo Tevez Giggs Scholes & Beckham in the same fucking team as well as people like Wio, ratboy, Van der sar/Schmeichel, & they didn't always win the league with that side or the ones with Ke**e, Cuntona, Hughes .

Yes, they are now average. The league is there for the taking this season & they are the only team doing its job properly. We are just hoping they fail rather than chasing. They could still fail, because they are not that good; doubt it though.

And back to the original topic; None of our strikers have consistently performed anything like their full capability leading the line imo, including Dzeko.

Edin for the disco
