As for his runs:
5 goals in the first 6 matches, 5 goalless matches, 6 goals in the next 5 matches, 8 goalless matches, 3 goals in one match, 3 more goalless matches and 7 goals in the last 6 matches.
Let's see how it looks for Dzeko:
Genoa: 1 goal - 4-0 win
Bologna: 2 goals - 6-1 win
Fiorentina: 1 goal - 1-3 win
Atalanta: 1 goal - 2-2
Sassuolo: 1 goal - 1-2 win
Juventus: 1 goal - 1-1
Roma: 1 goal - 1-3 win
Venezia: 1 goal - 2-1 win
Napoli: 1 goal - 1-1
Salernitana: 2 goals - 5-0 win
Hellas Verona: 1 goal - 2-0 win
As for his runs, 7 goals in the first 9 matches, 6 goalless matches, 1 goal in one match, 4 goalless matches, 4 goals in 6 matches and just 1 goal in the next 10 matches. Dzeko started the season well but the more he played the worse he became and he has barely contributed in second round round. Just 5 league goals in 2022.
No one says Lautaro is perfect and our dream forward. We would all have liked him to be decisive in even more games. I raised the issue of his dry spells in a post few days ago:
Both Inter and Lautaro numbers look good but they don't tell the whole story. When Lautaro is in good form he's someone you can count on in attack. The problem with Lautaro is he's inconsistent and he has dry periods every season. That's when you need another forward to step up and share the burden in attack. Sadly we had none to do it in second round and that's when Scudetto was lost.
Sassuolo: 0 goals
Genoa: 0 goals
Torino: 1 goal
Fiorentina: 1 goal
Bologna: 1 goal
These were the matches where Scudetto was lost. No one stepped up in second round. Dzeko stats may look decent but since January he scored in just 4 matches. Correa hasn't scored since the doppietta against Udinese in October. Sanchez had just 3 goals since January. Defenders and midfielders contributed a bit here and there but none of them scored consistent enough.
It may sound ridiculous when we have the best attack of the league but we lost scudetto from attack. That's where we need to focus in the summer.
But for me Lautaro isn't the biggest problem of the attack. It's the lack of support from the other forwards. And my argument about asking from Lautaro to score 25-30 goals/season isn't out of love and obsession with stats. It's embracing reality. You need goals to win games. We're a team that usually doesn't get many goals from midfield. We're lucky Hakan ended up as good else the problem in attack would have been even bigger. But if the other 3 forwards don't have a big contribution then we basically demand from Lautaro to reach such high numbers. It's really that simple.
