Let's not get carried away here...
Decent player.
People who think this guy is good.. Go and look at the Citeh forum. He's shit!!!!!
I don't need to read a forum to have an opinion dictated about a player. I actually watch footballers play to form an opinion about them.
Btw 10 goals in 14 games aint stats of a shit striker.
stats don't tell the whole story
4 goals in 1 game
1 hattrick in another
2 things:
he hasnt scored a hattrick yet. Besides, is there a law that prohibits from counting anything more than 2 per game into a tally?
you are right, stats dont tell the whole story: in the 4 of the last 6 premier leauge games, he has played an average of 5.75 minutes per game (which were counted towards those 15). And he has 958 minutes in total, which comes to a goal in every 63 minutes. Thats pretty fucking impressive for a striker.
I don't know if this mean anything but he is in the top 10 of Castrol Edge Ranking, couple of weeks ago he was above Ronaldo. 18/39 with many of his apps being subs. His situation at City is horrible, I honestly think he should seek a transfer to Italy or Germany.
You are right, that's why I never understood this ranking. But it seems some use it as a reference and I was surprised to see him above CR (couple of weeks ago). Perhaps it is because the substitution that give him little minutes give him a good ratio per minute (i.e no fatigue during his play time that result in better statistics). But I'm not sure.Any ranking system that doesn't have Ibra in its top 10 players is invalid. On a more serious note, at the beginning of the season, while he was still playing most games, Dzeko wasn't even among top 40 on Castrol rankings. How can he be among top 10 now? :/
