Yeah absolutely wonderful attacking, but any player who can't show enough spirit, courage and bollocks to defend and put in a tackle isn't worth the attacking flair in my book. He doesn't even track back for Fooks sake. How many times do you see Robinho tracking back to deep midfield and niftily nicking the ball away - a darn sight more often.
The longer he's injured the better for me. Once we've got a strong back 4 then you can think about playing the pussy.
are you actually a city fan????
do you know anythign about football in the slightest?
when did you every see thierry henry tracking back...or drogba, or torres,????

Oh look...all those names you picked there are strikers...Petrovs a winger...Yes his main game is tricky attacking play but they're meant to protect their right/left back.Look at SWP PROTECTS and COVERS his left back. So dont go giving me that shit about knowing football. Oh and go on tell me there's not a city player you dont like...we all have them.
as for:
what a dick!!!!! for a start you dont see robinho tracking back and for another thing that just isnt his type of game, as much as it hurts me to say it but ronaldo is the best player in the world and do you see him tracking back?
Yes you do actually see him tracking back, when he's on the left (maybe not away - but he plays crap away anyway). Maybe not back to our own box, no, but at least into our own half. Petrov strolls back or runs around trying to look busy but never getting close enough to actually make a challenge.
As for Ronaldo, as much as it hurts ME to say it; the rags are a team that have the abilty to defend without him so he can afford not to track back. Whats our main problem...oh look defending. He needs to do his fair share.
We're getting exactly what you would expect out of our starting line-up in thre circumstances where some of the players know they are on their way outThe Fat el Hombre said:We can't keep putting our form down to missing players, it's rare a whole squad is 100%. We've got to get the best out of the players available and at the moment we aren't doing that by a long way
hes quality, he set up almost every goal last season, i think we might replace him this transfer window tho. shame, i hope we get someone on loan so when hes fit he can be first team again, when is he expected to return anyway?Dobsy87 said:Missing him big style aren't we?
All this mention of we finished 9th last season, we also had him fit all season, and he always offers an attacking threat.
The idea of having MP left and SWP right really excited me. The next month without either of them . . .

His attacking play down the left is what we need. What we don't need is his lack of defence.
Maybe i was a bit blunt before. I hate his defensive ethics (or lack of it). His attacking play i have no problems with. But i find it hard to believe that his lack of tackling and tracking doesnt frustrate any of you???

The only thing that frustrates me are twats with inane comments who obviously know nothing about football. The inference that we would have been worse off than we actually are if Petrov had played despite the fact that he either scored or set up 65% of our goals last season just says it all.

He scored or set up 65% of our goals last season? I can't see that bring true, we do miss petrov however i have to wonder where he'd fit in in the current system of 4-5-1
