he does not have limited ability that aplys to carlos tevez berbatov has many qualitys he brings to the party but not enough qualitys to be a top class striker. berbatov can also keep the ball bring others into play and create chances like a play maker, but what he lacks is the dynamic threat in the final thrid to score that 25 goals a season and cause defences nightmares that ronaldo etoo torres do a lot because of the mobility pace strength and power which is the reason why defences have to keep on their toes. if I was a defender I would rather play against berbatov than someone like torres or etoo.

Theres only one Keano: He blows more cold rather than hot though. I would support the bloke even though he has limited ability (that being able to control a football, which is all he can do) but he is lazy. It’s not a clichy that he’s lazy, it’s a fact! As FSW would say.

some parts I agree with and I agree berbatov has been a waste of money, he just is not the right fit for united and I will say again he seems so veron like where its just hot and cold. long term I dont see berbatov at this club.

@Cantona7: Are you bloody serious?! Berbatov our best player this season? That bloke hinders our team rather then improves it. He wouldn’t be a loss if we just terminated his contract. He cant our run anyone, he can’t out muscle anyone, he has no fighting spirit, he doesn’t score, he’s useless in the air for someone over 6 foot, all in all he’s just an embarassing waste of money.

Ryan Giggs and has been heads and shoulders our best player this season. Bloody Berbatov?!!! ha! What a joke!

rooney earlier in the season was on fire and was way up to speed than torres he will be back. rooney is our steven gerrard and our best attacker thats why he will never be taken off. well if rooney had a proper striker that will get in behind defences we would see the best of him, look at rooney when he had saha along side him he has looked far better. its such a shame torres did not arrive in 2007 instead of the average tevez who we wasted a entire summer getting him. imagine they woulds till be our front two now instead of choping and changing rooneys patner.

yeah Berbatov has been our best performer so far this season. I second Fze123, SAF should take Rooney off instead! Again like Fze123 said, because Rooney has not realised that a centre forward means you have to stay centre and front 90% of the time. I said it before just after Owen joined us, Rooney can learn something from Owen, and this is one of the thing he needs to learn. And he can learn that by watching Owen from outside.

We really need Rooney to be the best, it’s really painful watching Torres better than Rooney.

red_boy, Berbatov plays best when he is partnered with Owen. Fergie should take Rooney off instead of Berbatov when Owen is coming on as a substitute, only if we’re already wining. Owen doesn’t keep moving into different positions, as Rooney does, so it’s easier for Berbatov to have poaching Owen playing just infront of him. How can you say Berbatov hasn’t been performing well? Remember that bicycle-kick goal against sunderland a few weeks ago? He hasn’t been scoring much but his performances have been immense.

@Emmanu Daktari

I really had to make an effort to understand some parts of what you said.

my point few days ago is proven.. Owen definitely deserves to start more often than Berbatov… yes, Berba is class but we have to be fair to Owen too, he’s a fantastic and a class player too, he has been performing very well. he needs to play more. Berba really needs to find a way to fit into this team… im not saying this just bcoz Owen scored yesterday, im a big fan of Owen and never really fancy Berba from the moment he joined us… coz he hasnt been performing well.

Tried watching the game online but the streaming was rubbish. Highlights don’t show much from Obertan but all accounts seem to imply he had a decent game. Anyone at the game want to expand any more?

On Evans & Brown being solid at the back; they didn’t look great in the highlights, Barnsley had countless clear-cut chances that would have been buried by superior opposition. Highlights can be very misleading though and I think they both deserve a chance at the first team spots.
