Bulgarian Stilian Petrov Slammed for Performance against Porto

Sports | May 24, 2003, Saturday // 00:00

O'Neill must know his midfield is in real need of creativity and that Stilian Petrov has to produce his best more often or be moved on, James Traynor from Daily Records wrote in a comment of the Bulgarian's game in Celtic match against Porto.

The Bulgarian still flatters to deceive and, at the highest level, the same can be said of Agathe and Thompson, the article goes on.

"Let's look at where Martin O'Neill's team are in the grand scheme and it might help if we remember they won hearts and minds in Seville but not the silverware."

"The thing they went there to bring home was taken by Porto, who deserve to be UEFA Cup holders despite their infuriating trickery."

Are Neil Lennon or Paul Lambert as good as Bobby Murdoch and could Stilian Petrov lace Berti Auld's boots?, James Traynor asks rhetorically.
