		<description>Blog: Bravo, Berba

Message board blogger sobject1 takes Berbatov&#039;s doubters to task following his excellent form over the festive period...

Dimitar Berbatov is clearly among the most capable players in Europe. His balance, technique, and vision are superb and obvious.

The laughable criticism of Dimitar doesn&#039;t come from the majority of true United fans who understand football. Most true supporters simply ignore the meaningless and/or malevolent comments on message boards, as it’s neither feasible nor desirable to respond to everyone who criticises him.

True fans only want to see their club succeed and are supportive during difficult times, too; they don&#039;t constantly attack a new player because they like someone else better, especially when their club is winning all major trophies. If in doubt, look at Liverpool fans&#039; support of Robbie Keane (whose stats and performances for his new club are not as positive as Berba&#039;s).

Anyone who reviews the stats from the beginning of the season (goals, assists, time played, etc.) and watches United&#039;s last few matches carefully shouldn’t doubt Berba&#039;s class and value to the team. The stats also indicate his considerable experience and self-control - he&#039;s collected just one yellow card, while suffering more than 30 recorded fouls. It&#039;s true that he could have scored more but, unlike many other forwards, Berba is not selfish at all.

Performance in training is also an important factor; his team-mates and boss have expressed a highly positive impression of him in this respect, too.

I’d say bravo to Berba, and also to Sir Alex and the entire United team for all the achievements and the way they deal with pressure and attention.

		<description>Tevez:  Yeah in my opinion Paul Scholes has been THE best central midfielder in world football over the past 10 or fifteen years.</description>

		<description>Agreed King Eric....you were the most technically gifted along with scholesy in the last 2 decades.  Not taking away that berba is gifted...but not in that ilk.

George best however has to be the best most technically gifted ever at utd...after all he is talked about in the top 3 ever with pele and maradona.  And you cannot beat that for genius</description>

		<description>I have to agree that Berbatov is one of the most techinally gifted players around today, but I can not begin to compare him to the King just yet.</description>

		<description>hello tevez/suhayl...thought I just clarified I don&#039;t include prior to my time watching United because it&#039;s not fair for me to comment...apparently you didn&#039;t read that bit, more to do with comparisons to Cantona...

and as you know and can see I said one of my original posts on Pog-Ron debate that I thought it was a pen but Ronaldo didn&#039;t do himself any favours...your consistent lunacy is bewildering. tevez = suhayl</description>

		<description>sorry, I stand corrected on best ever point. I&#039;ve never seen George Best play so i don&#039;t include him in my thoughts but I think you&#039;re right, based on videos (not fool-proof though as they are often just highlights of a career)he probably was but there the eras are totally separate. I think Cantona is a much more applicable comparison and I&#039;m not calling Berba a United great yet like Cantona but as I said but I think he could be, and to score 20+ at Spurs is pretty good. Time stops us from remembering that Cantona was not awesome every game either, no player is so it&#039;s unfair to label him by that standard and it&#039;s the nature of being a centre-forward that you will drift in and out of games. Again, technically and in his vision I think he&#039;s the best I have ever seen at United which is 1990ish onwards. Hopefully time will prove this to be the case.</description>
