The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Dzeko is more in the Lewandowski mould than Lukaku or Ba. Only similarities they have are that they're all big men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that our strikers (Torres especially) don't attack the balls i.e before when the ball was crossed, Kalou, Malouda Anelka, Drogba and even Essien/Ballack would be lining up in the box to challenge in the air.In the current team, Hazard, Mata, Oscar have minimal aerial ability and Torres rarely attacks the cross - almost always preferring to drop back. That aerial component of our game is gone at the moment. Our threat is only from set-pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That aerial component of our game is gone at the moment. Our threat is only from set-piecesI actually think Oscar could score more goals with his head tbh, the game against Liverpool he scored a very good header and I was quite happy to see he scored it. Hopefully its something he could work on because he isn't really a small player hes kinda average height and if he could win headers from attacking set pieces it would be useful. Sure its more a "can he" rather than "he can" but I don't know. Anyway Dzeko is a quality striker who very much carried Wolfsburg to the Bundesliga title a few years back. At Wolfsburg where the play was very much focused on creating chances for him he delivered big time so surely if our 3 creators looked to find him he'd score lots of goals. Hes capable of scoring all sorts of goals... left footers, right footers, tap ins, headers, volleys, long range shots you name it he can score them. For a big man his technique is rather good as well and he can bring others into play.His shooting technique is class, he can hit them with placement, power, spin/dip etc. Class volley he scored a few years back vs Hannover 4 goals vs Spuds, really good header in there as well as a lovely chipped shot.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_mY8YtVTNs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mata is really hopeless at heading. Against United, Lampard lifted a great cross and Mata missed the ball completely. It's like he doesn't have any experience of heading - makes rookie mistakes like closing the eyes way before the ball has reached etc. Normally Mata usually waits for the ball to bounce when it's in the air rather than try and head it.

Yes its perhaps his downfall along with defensive contribution but I suppose we cannot expect a 5 ft 7 guy to win or even score headers on a regular basis haha!

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 The city fans at the bluemoon forum are very scared at the prospect of dzeko under mourinho playing with mata and hazard.They tend to believe that dzeko would flourish over here.

I'm surprised we moved for Torres in comparison to Dzeko who could have replaced Didier or Suarez who could have done what Anelka done and played wider. I know Suarez is a cunt but he could. well would have been perfect for our 4-3-3 as he can play anywhere along the front three. Damn board. Hes a cunt now though, so get it up him,!

I think first touch is a thing that people make a big deal out of but say if Dzeko's playing well and everythings going for him his first touch will probably be very good as in comparison to when hes playing bad its going to be bad.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 It's true. He would be a world beater here and bang them in for fun.So you were against us signing Rooney, but think this guy would 'bang them in for fun'?Personally I think this could go either way. Depends on the price and he's a good player, but we're essentially stepping aside and letting City have a run at Cavani and that will please their fans no end.

That aerial component of our game is gone at the moment. Our threat is only from set-piecesNye we don't and even when BA has played, he never has got a constant flow of quality crosses. It's not about Having aerial ability lol. It's about having enough players in the box, we always have 2 or maximum three and that's when we are chasing the game . If Aguero and Silva could score headers, with just being in the box. Our creative midgets could do even better cause we've got the special one now #nomorespanishwaiters4bieber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Rooney get sold abroad, would be funny to see how he adapts to a different league...As for Dzeko, for the right price..he'd be a good signing, would definitely take the pressure off Lukaku next season.
