Although In for the Long Term makes an interesting point about Dzeko - I was one of those saying he needs wingers. However, I still think he does (see his goal that Navas set up v Palace). It's his link up play that is poor. Hear hear.

Having feasted on Kolarov, Garcia, Nasri, Fernandinho the locusts looks for their next target and settle on Yaya. Before it was apparently all down to Mancini that Dzeko was unable to show his true worth because City didn't play with width. Now that we have Navas and the way Pellegrini sets his team up we are seeing that width but Dzeko is the liability others would claim Yaya is. Yaya would always be in my team. Dzeko can reprise his super sub role as I don't see him contributing enough to warrant a starting position.

It was interesting also to hear on Match of the Day the very first 'professional pundit', namely Didi Hamann, criticise Yaya, calling him a liability because of the way he is so easily bypassed in midfield. Perhaps the myth that he is a world class midfielder is at last being exposed. Maybe we should revert to using him as a striker off the front man again as we did when we had Tevez.
