What the hell? Even the Petrov lovers could see he was pretty poor today, non-existant for much of the game and the amount of times their midfielders walked past him was getting ridicolous.
Petrov lovers? Perhaps some people are just better judges of the game than you. If you think he was pretty poor today then I certainly question your judgement personally.
Well the first half, we generally were poor and he didn't actually do much, made a couple decent tackles but then second half, Eagles must have gone past him 2/3 times at least, Bikey aswell and then you just saw him jogging back. He's good at reading the game but when people actually run at him, defensively he's so bad it's untrue.
It's stupid though, if Reo-Coker put in this performance today, most people on here would be saying how poor he played, How bad his efforts on goal were, the fact people went past him. Petrov defensively was average today where usually he's good and passing wise, it was usual safe passing so i'd hardly say it was a good game. I thought it was lower than his usual standards like Fulham away where he actually was brilliant.
He looked knackered throughout most of the game.
This.
Oh, and in the second half, Downing, Heskey, Gaby and Milner were brilliant.
Ashley Young was brilliant all game, MOTM.
