Dodgyknees Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Possibly the worst footballer since Michael Boulding. Possibly the worst comment I've read on this forum. Tonev would beat him at Tennis though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praisedmambo Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) I don't understand. Tonev had a bad game against Norwich, but imo (with the ball) there were a few players yesterday who were having an equal nightmare, but will never get the same level of silly comments: 'as bad as Michael Boulding'? But Tonev played well against Tottenham! He had a good game! He's only played about 3 times. Edited September 29, 2013 by praisedmambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Tonev did some decent things in the Spurs game but overall did not have a good game at all, no one did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Tonev will come good. He just needs time and patience which Lambert will give him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 He's an option to the squad which we did not have last season. Awful first start for the club but I think we'll all like him by the end of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Too early to to be sure, we must give him time, to prove himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Hilarious watching people write players off one week then have people sing their praises a week or two later when they put in a good performance. It seems to have happened with most of our players but still people continue to do it and don't learn. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) people criticizing Tonev should head over to the KEA or Delph thread or before that im sure is a Petrov thread from 6 years back or maybe a Bouma one Edited October 1, 2013 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 people criticizing Tonev should head over to the KEA or Delph thread or before that im sure is a Petrov thread from 6 years back or maybe a Bouma one We shouldn't be writing him off, I agree with you on that, but I also think it's entirely acceptable to criticise his performance is he plays badly - as he has done. From what I saw against Tottingham, he undoubtedly has some ability, he just needs to learn how and when to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers13 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 i dont mind criticism but some of the stuff is OTT Exactly. Saying something to the effect of "he was really bad, he'll need to improve a lot" makes sense, but you can't say he'll never be good enough this early.

handsworthlion Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 How many pages will this thread go before everybody comes to the conclusion he is rubbish. Even if one if his 'atomic strikes' does find its way anywhere near the goal, it will equate to around one on target in something like 172 attempts (basically every time he gets the ball) We all had 'that' kid in out junior teams that did the same annoying shoot from anywhere tactic and lose the ball.

Yeah but if the manager is instructing him to shoot on sight then you can't really blame him, can you? He obviously needs to find his feet in this league. He's obviously doing something in training to impress the coaching staff. Just needs time to settle down. He looks as if he's permanently rushing things, maybe it's because he's eager to impress, maybe he's a bit nervous, or maybe he's just not adapted to the pace of the league so is trying to get things done as fast as possible. Let's give him til next season so he has time to adapt. I admit, i've not been impressed with him so far, but it's far too early to write him off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in theory however many pages are put into this thread over the space of the next year or so. Delph, Petrov, Downing, etc. were all terrible for Villa a lot longer than Tonev has been so far. Dismissing a player in his first season is madness, doing it after 2 starts for a cub, I don't know what to say. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyp_avfc Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 People need to stop with all the he's not good enough bull... He's 23, come from the Polish league which isn't the best league, he's started 2 games, he's played not even 250mins of English football, he had 2 pre season games (Correct me if I'm wrong he got injured in his first pre season game in Germany?), give the lad time!!!! it's just unbelievable that after 2 starts in the Prem that he's getting wrote off as a dud, yes if in a year or two's time he gets sold for pittance then you can all ridicule me! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnbull Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I reckon he'll turn out a decent player, there's defo something there which i'll agree we've not seen too much of yet, but it's there. I honestly cannot believe the impatience of some fans. As in the above post, I'm open to ridicule if he turns out to be a failure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
