Petrov not good enough

[BC54 VFC]

Bump. Brilliant goal today Stan; well done!

[Toronto Villa]

simply a magical goal. Well done Stan

[Dave]

Smashing goal.

He was still completely over-run today though. And I say that as a big supporter of Petrov and what he brings.

Good hit today from Stan. If you throw enough shit at a wall ,eventually some of it will stick.
Try and hit the target again some time soon.

Personally, I believe Petrov to be the key to our current team, I can't think of a single player that you could take out of the squad (excluding Given) that would have a worse impact than taking out Petrov.

A team is only as good as it's holding midfielder.

Perhaps thats true - but thats a worrying indictment of our first 11

Great goal, but he was shit today. Let's not be blinded to that because of one good strike.

[Archie]

Apart from the magic goal, I also have appreciated him for the way he commanded the team and distributed the ball.

Lovely goal today but having started the season well petrov was well below par yesterday although he was far from the only one in that.

[Salsa Party Animal]

I have not much though. But I do think we need to replace Petrov and keep him for last 30 minutes when we need him, He might be able to do more in 30 minutes than 90 minutes. But we haven't found a suitable player for his position

[citizenDJ]

Cracking goal but a mostly poor performance, I thought. He's played well in each of the previous games though, so I'm putting yesterday down to the fact he played a couple of international games last week.

Should he retire from the international scene, I think we'd really benefit these days.

a good goal doesnt change the my opinion that he is over-run too much, doesnt have any pace or mobility, is a ghost after 60+ minutes, and generally isnt up to the job...

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Rate Delph highly but still showing imaturity. Petrov with Jenas will be much more dominant. And i am looking forward to seeing if i am right ............

[woody4866]

Last time I saw him kick a ball like that was Derby

Hope we don`t wait that long again

I thought Petrov was okay all round yesterday, Being 'over-run' as some have suggested is not his problem: it was a problem with the Manager's set-up and the performance of others.
Also, EVerton's midfield was excellent and packed out.
