The precision and timing of that low cross from Zabaleta was excellent. Best way to break down packed defences in my opinion.

Edit: Another great cross from Zabaleta.

Dzeko would score so much here. I know José highly rates him, too. City wouldn't let him go, though.

Their 2nd/3rd best striker now has about 5-6 goals more than our best.

Yep, been saying for a couple of years now he'd be great for us.

Only has a year left on his contract so if we wanted him, I'm pretty sure we'd get City to sell him even to a rival and the price shouldn't be too bad either. For some bizarre reason been trying to get rid of him a long time now.

Dzeko on fire.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Ooooo Edin Dzekoooo

Makes it more annoying watching this how close we could of been or more or less there apart from shit results against the shit of this league.

I want to fucking cry.

How much would you guess? £20m?

Don't know if he's good enough to an everyday #1 striker, but if we indeed sell Lukaku I'd love Dzeko.

SIGN ZABALETA!!! PROPER ATTACKING FULLBACK!

Are you forgetting Azpi?

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Are you forgetting Azpi?

Even azpi can't cross like that 2 times in a row lol...

Check how deadly Silva is on the second goal. Given too much space so he rapidly changed the speed of the attack by moving very quickly forward, defence caught off guard and of course gives an excellent pass towards Zabaleta...

Azpi over the season has been better than Zabaleta……and not in his strong position. Get Cesar back at RB next season and you will see exactly what I mean.

Considering RvP went for £24m with a year left on his deal at Arsenal I would say Dzeko would cost £20m at most, probably even less. All depends on how much competition there would be for his signature but I think it's pretty clear he won't be renewing and will leave this summer when City can still get at least something for him.

He's definitely good enough, showed that at Wolfsburg before signing for City. It's just that at City there has always been way too many forwards (Aguero, Tevez, Balotelli earlier and Aguero, Negredo, Jovetic now) competing for his place so he's rarely got a good run in the team and the minute he performs badly he gets dropped.

25 goals in all competitions this season, pretty impressing considering he's never been first choice for them.

Norwich got praise for their tactical genius against us, yet they needed six points to stay up. So why didnt they go all out against us then.

Fucking muppets.

[zolayes 14,489]

never seen a more stonewall penalty not given PSG went crazy and their player got booked LMAO

[The Rising Sun 710]

dzeko would be a fantastic 3rd choice striker for us, Just as he is for city.

[Special Juan 27,429]

Call the plasterer because I am going to punch this wall through…..arrggghhhhh

[The Rising Sun 710]

Norwich fought to make sure they got relegated, at SB.

Dont know what their manager was thinking.
