Morning all,

Just been chatting to a mate on the IPhone (Whatsapp) and weve ended up having a heated argument:

Just thought I would offer this one up to you guys in the hope that you back me up, Im being as unbiased as I can with this one (Honestly)

Who would you rather have in the holding CM role, Barry Ferguson or Stylian Petrov?

Ive argued that I would prefer Ferguson as hes more aggresive and vocal plus hes very tidy and passes the ball well.

My Villa mate is adament that Petrov reads the game better and passes the ball better...

Who would you choose (being unbiased) for your team?

Petrov is probably the better holding midfielder, but Bazza the better central midfielder, Bazza probably cant put in as hard a tackle but is obviously tidier on the ball and probably a better leader, just hes more likely to get overrun so to speak, where as Petrov isn't but cannot pass the ball to the standard Bazza can


Slightly different players imo, ones a deep lying playmaker the other is just a holding midfielder

In their day, they were both great players - and now they're both over 30, they've both still got it.

I think they are quite comparable in many facets - but I wouldn't like to say who's better, because as mad4 says, their skill sets benefit their teams in different ways.

I'd be very confident to say that Ferguson's passing is better - he literally never gave the ball away last season.

Without being biased,for me ferguson was our player of the season, I've yet to see him give the ball away, whereas petrov rarely influences a game to the extent that barry does for us. In the two games against us last season petrov was anonymous. Again being totally unbiased petrov is also a dirty vile kno*b.

Got to agree guys, I just feel that Ferguson has more of an impact on a game where as Petrov is just 'there' if you see what I mean.

I know that people who can't be seen are sometimes underestimated but I genuinely believe Ferguson is better.

As Blues pass the ball through midfield and vile lump it over the top of midfield, I'd take Ferguson in our side as he uses the ball better! :banner:

Petrov has always been the better player, unfortunately. Ferguson does the job for us though and that's all that matters.

I watched Petrov a few times last season and I felt that he runs out of steam early, I also thought that he wasn't strong in the tackle and fail to see what makes him better than Ferguson, that was my case against my Vile supporting mate anyway.

Lol @ Mrs Ferguson,

Your opinion on this subject isnt valid as your so biased towards our Barry :P

Ferguson best passer in the premiership last year. Knowledge is power and I am the master.

I think Ferguson is the better player, he moves the ball quicker and with more quality. Petrov always has to take about 5 touches before passing the ball.

:LMAO: I say that Follow Follow is not the site for you Des! Shouldn't it be the Huddleboard or whatever it's called? Ethnic cleansing :LOL: Follow Follow is a much bigger forum than this one and I don't read every single post on this/that board. I do work sometimes you know!! :)

I think they are totally incomparable.

Two different types of midfielder, I think Bowyer is in the Petrov-mould more than Bazza is.

Out of Petrov and Ferguson, to have in my team, I would pick Ferguson all day.

We have a pretty solid back four who can all put a meaty challenge in, not to mention Gardner and Bowyer when partnered with BF can do this aswell, but Ferguson brings us needed time, to pick up the ball and move it along, always keeping the game moving.

If Petrov came into our side, I doubt he would do much more than Bowyer or Gardner could do IMO, although he is a better player than those two to be fair. Bowyer was better in his prime, and I reckon Craig G could potentially be better than both of them given a few seasons with a good run in our team consistently playing football.

Not at all, from an unbiased point of view I would pick villa players over some of ours if I was a manager. I hate to admit that and the very fact that I would do that angers me, the thing is anyone with a brain can look at something from an unbiased point of view.

Been having the argument tonight after our 5 a side, we won 19-0 then had a row in the bar lol

Yeah but a team is bound to have better players considering they have spent probably around 100 million more than us on their team.

And even after that money spent, we were the better side twice last season, because we played with passion, and that is one thing that money cant buy.

Barry was fantastic last season, plus as he's no exacly the most mobile lplayer (but still so effective) I can see him being a stalwart for us for few years to come. Excellent reader of the game. As mentioned by someone else, I think Petrov v Bowyer would be a better comparison - in which case I'd go for Petrov's creativity. But Baz Ferg wins out overall for me.

Agree with some of the sentiments. Ferguson isnt the kind of player to really put the tackle in. Petrov can do this. Having Bowyer as in the mdfield he's more likely the one to do this for us. Ferguson helps us link up defence and attack.

McLeish has created a bit of anomolly in our midfield in that Bowyer the main tackler out the pair is encouraged to get forward. Ferguson usually plays further forward than he does for Blues but McLeish makes use of his better distribution capabilities as Johnson and Dann can't really bring the ball out and distribute comfortably.

So I don't think your quite comparing the right players I think you would be better off
comparing Bowyer and Petrov.

Between the two I don't think there is much in it. On the form that Bowyer has showed for us in fact I think he slightly edges it as he gets more goals. We are getting Bowyer in his latter years and his capabilities are becoming lesser in comparison to a few years ago. It is unfortunate that Bowyer's temperament harmed his career because he may have became a world class midfielder in my opinion.

I can see everyones points about maybe there being more of a comparison between Bowyer and Petrov, I think that I maybe just felt that Ferguson was our best midfielder last season. Bowyer really seemed to lose his form in the last 10ish games but I hope he comes back refreshed and puts in a big shift again this season.

Having said that Id still rather have Ferguson over Petrov any day **thumbup
