HackneyVillain Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Bizarre. Have high hopes this season, just needs to stay on his feet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I think Petrov is stronger at tackling and winning the ball than makoun and Ireland is better on the ball than him. I would like to see us with 2 proper strikers so IMO makoun wouldn't be first choice. I'm still waiting to see if he can cut it at this level. I know that on VT this season he's gonna be one of those players that no matter what will be ridiculously praised whenever he plays. Hopefully if he does play he'll actually perform well enough to warrant it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu_The_Villan Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Yes Big John....we know you dont like Makoun. We also know you like Petrovs bum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Well of course it's different opinions to me. But there's always certain players that seem to enjoy cult like status and can never do wrong or are always overpraised. Coker had it last year, angel had it for a few years and now my prediction is makoun will be one of those heroic players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about because we think he's a good player, amazing presumption there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu_The_Villan Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Thing is though John, Makoun has shown more in the 5 minutes than Petrov has in 5 years. I dont want to drag this down into another Petrov Vs (insert CM name here) debate but there really is no comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Come on there are always players on here that can do no wrong and there are always players on here who can do no right. Everyone's always a bit biased with players they like, I was like it with Carew and all I'm saying is i can see makoun getting similar biased treatment on here next season. And it's not that I don't like him, just haven't seen anything to make me think he's going to be great at premiership level. Obviously I'd love him to be amazing.

Makoun was dropped from a team that was shit and were relegation candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 With Makoun, let's just wait to see if he can form a decent pairing with anybody, where he does more than just play simple passes around. A pre-season friendly against a Portugese team is going to be very different to Everton away on a lumpy pitch in November. I'm not at all convinced that he is strong or quick enough, but we'll see.

HackneyVillain Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 A bit like Delph people are seeing the promise not necessarily what he has shown thus far on the pitch. That said I thought he was our best player on Saturday. I'd like to team him up with a more mobile version of Petrov and think that would be a good CM for the new season. I can't recall Makoun and Delph playing together pre-season but haven't seen all the matches so maybe someone can tell me if they did and if so what they were like?

Shillzz Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 In time, i see him growing into a similar role that Arteta does at Everton. It's a bit of a shame we couldnt have had him 5 years ago, but his all round game probably makes him the best CM we have. Love the video by the way.

Big_John_10 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Makoun and Petrov are too simular to be played together. I think makoun is more like Ireland as in he's more forward thinking with the ball like Ireland and like Ireland tackling and winning the ball isn't his game. I don't think makoun reads the game defensively as well as Petrov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
