Deprived of the services of Dimitar Berbatov on Saturday, Martin Jol was looking towards Mladen Petric to provide the attacking threat needed to break Manchester City`s defiant defence.
As it turned out, Petric got on the score-sheet, from the penalty spot, but was unable to prevent the tidal wave of City attacks that left us reeling.
After the game, Jol mulled over the return of Petric but also Berbatov`s absence, remarking to the media,
“Petric did well, coming back after three or four weeks out.”
“But of course Berbatov has qualities that can make a difference against a team like Manchester City. Someone told me he`s played 10 times against them and lost only once which gave me confidence.”
“So it was very disappointing for us when he got his injury on Thursday.”
It was, but I get the impression that we`d have been hard done t match City, on Saturday, even with Dimitar in the starting eleven, they were that vibrant.
