are you serious?
Yep. I know it's trendy to hate on certain players, and it's Petrov's turn and all the rest of it but I'm just calling it as I see it. Oddly enough, being the Captain of the Bulgaria national side, having 101 caps, picked week in, week out for multiple Premier League managers including the new one assessing all the players for himself means absolutely nothing because of group of miscreants on a forum have decided he's crap.
Petrov did nothing wrong in the match. Watch it again, read about Football tactics, and then tell me what he did wrong.
As I said on the match thread. I watched the game and Petrov in particular. The good possesion he has is him thinking what to do with it. He slows the game down. He passes the ball back when we are in attack mode. He did nothing second half.
Believe me I like the guy, (lives not to far from my parents actually) just not in our squad anymore. He is slowly becoming obselete in our team which is based on, good passing and speed!
