Have the other fairies given the ball back to the opposition as many times as him? Petrov would have a better rate if he played the amount of games he plays.

 

Petrov is just as big a fairy and there is a reason why he has had hardly any game time. He has had 3 managers to impress this season and none have stuck with him.

I know it's a sad state of affairs but you have to accept eagles is one of our better players.

I don't think he is. Petrov and chungy are miles better.

I think even Christopher as a new poster is aware of this.

He will soon note some of your other obsessions too on other threads probably.

Petrov doesn't make out he is anything else, he does a job and delivers and end product. He also doesn't fallover grabbing his hamstring every time hes tackled and at least stays on the wing as an outlet. Where eagles just prances about everywhere basically giving the ball back to the opposition.

Not this season they haven't been..

 

Nowhere near in fact.

Granted they need to improve a lot. They have the ability to be light years ahead of eagles. They need a run of games to get some form and confidence back. I think lee is on the way back already.

Petrov has had 3 years to justify himself for a regular starting position and has failed to do so.

 

3 Managers in that time have all gone the same way.

 

Fantastic in short spells,fuck all in the rest of the time....and he 33 and out of contract soon.Hardly fitting into Dougies plans.

 

Chungy may be on the way back,which is fine,he can play one side and Eagles,player of the season bar non,the other side..

So, fairies. I'm thinking back and Frankie Worthy, Andy Walker, Youri Djorkaeff, Jay Jay Okocha and Nicolas Anelka.

 

None of them liked a tackle. Am I right?

Petrov was our best player last season imo. Still think he deserves a proper run. If not him. Sell eagles and re invest in some new blood, we will go nowhere with him in the team. If we do ill be the first to hold my hands up. Don't see it though!

You may be right there pal. I just worry while he's our 'shining light' 12th to 20th is the best we can hope for.

They were not tacklers but far from fairies all could handle being roughed up Frankie was a tough lad to handle the centre halfs of that time.

And didn't Walker chin a centre half in his first home start?

 

Eagles is a fairy in more ways than that he doesn't do bone crunching tackles; he has a lack of conviction at times

 

But then at other times he's been unplayable this season

 

I do think he wastes a lot of good team chances and possession with bad decision making too though

 

Without his goals and assists we'd be struggling, but maybe, just maybe, the team results would've been better??

 

Impossible to say without a crystal ball

My thoughts exactly. Not tacklers, but know how to handle the opposition tackles & tacklers.

 

And I've never seen Messi backing out of a challenge yet, not going down at the first sign of a challenge.

That's why he frustrates me incredibly, want to absolutely slate him and then he turns it on and scores a peach. I don't know how you judge overall worth weighing up the goals versus missed chances, in the Brum game he should have played Pratley in at least twice and shot tamely instead,

The question is

 

Better with him

 

 

Or without him and £4m to invest?

 

 

 

Bye, Chris
