I thought he was at fault for the goal, gave the ball away and should then have fouled the bloke to take a yellow and stop the attack....but.....he looked like he had some ability and hopefully will not make the same mistake again, to be fair, Poyet did something similar when he first came into the team and look at him now. My concern is there are too few games left to spend getting someone up to speed so when he gets his next chance he needs to take it.
Rusty, not up to speed, inexperienced and possibly having a look at him for next year hmmmmm............... not exactly what we need right now though is it :-(
Difficult to judge him on that. I thought he looked a long way off the pace (a really long way off) - doesn't mean he doesn't have any ability, just that he's really rusty. Trouble is, we don't have time to wait for him to get back up to speed and be useful. Wouldn't write him off yet but unless he has an exceptional capacity to get himself match fit quickly then I'm not sure he'll be much use in these last few games.
Was definitely at fault for the goal as he lost the ball but nobody really takes responsibility in the attacking third – build ups are too slow so gave the defender time to intercept. Not sure what options we have- we are clearly better suited to letting teams come at us than having to make something happen. I fear for tomorrow night.

He gave the ball away on the reading 18 yard box that happens all the time with all teams hardly a major mistake , it's then down to the midfield and defenders to win it back . I think he will be alright with a run of games.

I agree with @Yann897 . Its not like he lost the ball outside our 18 yard box by fannying about. There was almost the full length of the pitch for someone to stop him. Harsh to put tha fault at his door. Yes he lost the ball but where was the rest of the team in between the Reading player and the goal.
He wanted the ball, got involved and I thought did pretty well. He's recovering from a long term injury and is going to be rusty. In fairness I'm not sure if he will get up to speed this season so you have to wonder whether or not he is being lined with a view to a more permanent move
Sadly people only remember the error for the goal so feel he should now be hung, drawn and quartered.
He's the most creative midfielder we have. He played well at Derby, yes he should have done something with the ball before giving it away for their goal, but Williams still had to run the length of the pitch before being allowed to hit it. Petrucci isn't the only one who could have stopped him.
I am still baffled as to why we have brought this player into the squad. Is he so far behind with fitness we cannot chance him? if so how many games are going to go by before he is fit, or are we looking at him with a view to purchase for next season. If this is the case, we seem to be getting players ready for next season instead of sorting out this one.
I quite liked him, he had a touch of class but needed to get up to match speed / fitness. With a good pre-season behind him he could have been a good player.

Which is probably why he played a full game for them yesterday.

Could have sat back and taken the money at Man Utd but decided to move on to get games.
Didn't think he was all that with us but it was a difficult time.
