Faded horribly today. Again when the chips are down he did not produce for us. May sound harsh, but he only looks good when the rest of the team does. As yet it is not within him to grab a tough game like today and stamp his mark.

I thought he could have played in Hernandez a number of times
A bit too harsh though, it's hard as a striker to influence a game when your midfield is being bitch slapped

He could have against Newcastle also but seems not to want to pass to him!
Very few players do.
and against Chelsea, maybe I'm looking too much into this but everytime he's free Berba decides to take a shot on or look elsewhere, it's just so unlike him.
But we need Berbatov to produce a couple of great moments no matter how badly the team is playing (especially when we are playing poorly). Thats the whole point...
You could say that of every player though.

He's terrible in the air.The crazy is that he gets many opportunities thanks to his height and spring but his headers are rarely on target.
Yeah the performance as a unit worries me more than individuals. As soon as Fulham began to pass it nicely we almost looked frightened. Evans was mauled by Zamora.
Thought he played well today, certainly the most involved striker by a distance anyway.
Evans was being beaten by Zamora physically.
Question: why didn't Vidic and Evans swap positions? Vidic is physically more dominating than Evans, so why didn't he take Zamora?

You criticise him for passing too much, now you're criticising him for not passing enough!
I would agree with that but then Vidic just let Zamora bulldoze him on the goal. Utterly disappointed.

Seriously.
Seriously, thats not whats been suggested. Nobody has posted up his attempted passes and said "Look, he didnt pass enough! Greedy bastard!"
But there's one player he could have found a number of times and had he done so, it would have led to one or two simple goals for United. And he, on multiple occasions, ignored that option to try and do it himself.
Sometimes single-mindedness is a good quality for a striker. But only if you make the most of it a good amount of the time. Its a quality that serves Eto'o well for example. But Berbatov constantly tried and failed to grab the glory today.
I think you can always tell whether Berbatov has played well by gauging how many people are jumping on his back.
The Caf realises he was a bright spot today, hence very little criticism. He has a good game today.

he was alright,wasn't poor by any means, if one of his chances went in, we would all be singing a different tune I guess
My first reaction at the end of the game was to delete it, so I don't have the benefit of rewatching it but, can you elaborate how he constantly tried to grab the glory - are you saying when he took a shot on that he had a far better option instead?
