He’s been injured! It’s not a problem of him not being selected. It’s a shame because he’s a huge talent. The way Dzeko plays uninspired half the match Jovetic would definitely feature more if he wasn’t injured. He was supposed to play against Fulham but caught some virus an hour before the game. Then injured his hamstring in the week leading up to the Palace game. I’d prefer him over Dzeko any day!!!

Hi Ryan,
With Aguero and Negredo in such great form, do you really see Jovetic having a great future as a regular player at City??
Joe Doherty
He’s been injured! That’s no one’s fault, but do you really believe Pellegrini would just not play him???? Furthermore, you clearly haven’t looked at your facts very well as his debut was against Stoke…

Hi Joe,
I am extremely sorry for getting that fact wrong. I meant to write it as the Capital Once Cup debut encounter. Will have it rectified asap.
But yes, I do believe Pellegrini might not give him a decent number of opportunities needed to establish himself at City – do you believe that he can upstage Aguero and Negredo if both are not injured and playing well?
And do you believe that Jovetic will get a decent chance to play regularly in crunch Premier League and Champions League matches against big teams?

He’s been injured over 90% of the time you muppet – do you actuallt get paid for writing this garbage???
Chaitanya Goparaju
Hi Paul,
I will ignore your comment about the payment part.
But
honestly, if Jovetic was not injured, do you really see him playing
regularly against teams like Barca, ManU, Liverpool, Arsenal?
Would he really beat Negredo to the starting lineup?
And once Aguero is back, he will be back in the starting 11. Do you think Dzeko can be upstaged by Jovetic?
Jason Bardwell
I think if he was fit Pellegrini would prefer him to Dzeko up front. Dzeko partnering Negredo really isn’t ideal and Jovetic would be a better fit for either big men. It is unfortunate that he has been injured but I am assuming if he was bought in by Pellegrini, then there was a plan to play him.
