Still a bit confused about Petrov...

[Drayk]

He's too greedy, keeps the ball too long and shoots from too far out

He's not a right winger. Can't believe how many games it's taking for RM to see this. He's a good left winger and a good player to have when Bellers is injured.

So he can cut in onto his left. Sometimes it's better because there isn't anyone worth crossing it to in the box. But today he was a complete waste of space.

Have been saying for 12 months he's shite, no backbone, pace, pace, pace, and nothing else worth a carrot, even his supposed great crosses, are just hit as hard as he can accross the box.
he will from time to time have a day out, but be honest if we can't rely on him week in and week out like Tevez and Bellars, should we be fostering this geeky little faggot?
Being one footed is bad enough, but this arsehole can't even function outside of his sprinting down one flank, other than that he is just being carried, and a top four side can't carry passengers.
He actually did what I half expected against Everton, once he realised the opponents were physically up for it and he is going to get nothing out of the game, faigns an injury to justify his piss poor display.
I have this guy so sussed, just can't understand why so many think he's even good TBH.
maybe it's just we have seen a great deal of mediocrity since the seventies and against Dabo and Sinclair this guy appears top notch? Well never in my book and hope Mancini can see what I am sick of seeing!

And if he was Brazilian and costs £32 million he'd have 20 more pages on here slagging him off.

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

He's getting on a bit too. Has he been given a new contract?

Personally I think we should start looking for both a left and right winger (SWP too injury prone and VW ihasn't the experience)

Joe Cole?

 

[Brendan110_0]

That's ok when we are on top but when it's a scrap he can't actually contribute much as a winger or wide midfield player because he cant go down the line and deliver. My guess is Mancini will have learned that better today amongst other things.

What?!? like Sven and Hughes?? We've learnt nowt after sacking another manager.

Agreed. He's a fucking coward who always seems to time his arrival at an opponent after the ball has gone. Give me Robbie over him any day of the week.

As i said on a different thread
Petrov's shite. for donkey's i've said it but people come back with the "he's got pace and run's at defenders, he can scare defences"
Which is Bullshit.
He's quick once he's got going i'll conceed; but as for running at people, not once did he lastnight and rarely does he ever.
He'll happily run into space but if a defender comes even close he'll run for the line and lose it or turn round and pass it back.
He can't tackle, can't challenge and the only person he scares is himself.
He might have scored 3 goals in 3 starts or whatever it was, but he doesn't offer nearly enough, even on the left.

 

[SWPISHOME]

What annoys me about him, He does more moaning than anything else giving out saying 'I should be playing' blah blah blah, Then we he gets his chance the lazy git dosent bother his ass!
