I said when the season started hed make a lot of people on here look very stupid, hes been feckin class every match this season and his goals are of such fantastic quality to, always maintained his ability is beyond question hes a fantastic player ability wise world class, his difficulties have all come a lack of confidence not aided by a section of our 'fanbase' booing him at every opportunity and blaming him for everything that goes wrong.....this time last year Berbatov would not have tried that outside of the foot shot he did today never mind score it, it just goes to prove how big a factor confidence is to any player even the most gifted.
i do wonder what we'll do against Liverpool next weekend now though because obviously Rooney will play at OT against the scousers so what do we do? on the one hand you surely cannot drop Berbatov in the form hes in and on the other 4-4-2 in such matches has been a graveyard for us for a long time now.
Personally if were determined to stick with the 4-5-1 in such games id keep Berbatov in over Rooney (whos hardly set the world alight this season in fairness) if thats the way Fergies determined to go, id like to see a Rooney Berbatov partnership though, the scousers aint much cop their midfields dog shite now so we shouldn't need 3 in there at home against them but id wager thats what Fergie will do.
