Berbatov is a psychic feck! Clearly he could see into his own future, and therefore, he is a complete nutter. Do we want players like that in our team?
YES!
YES!
Looking at the group we have, I think we can play a 4-4-2 and do well. Its the later stages that Fergi might have to revert to the 4-5-1 formation.
Scoring three against Liverpool - winning us the game - will go a long way towards acceptance and tolerance. If he has a bad game now, it won't (or it shouldn't) lead to the scapegoat threads.
He's got himself into credit.
yep - he looks up for it this season. my criticism was about his lack of emotion. he looks a different player.
He's proven something today. 3 goals in a big match. Not just that but his all round play was great too, which wasnt usually the case in big matches either.
His only other goal in a big game before today in a United shirt was the final goal when we mauled Chelsea just after Avram Grant took over when we were already in the driver seat. His record in these big matches overall was poor.
But with those 3 goals it makes his record much better. And more than that, he put it all together today and played as well as he ever has in the premier league. Not just at United but at Spurs too. This is what people thought we were buying when we signed him. The player from today who scored many goals, one with a real touch of technical genius and a player who made the difference in a big game.
What his performance did today was make sure he's on the team sheet the next time we play a big match. And the one after that.

rooney needs to earn his spot
if its a 4-5-1 , then rooney either plays on the left with a forced smile on his face or sits on the bench .. berba is clearly in better form at the moment

Well said, Ekeke.
That was the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life
Yep I've been another who's been disappointed and even slagged off Berbatov at times but he's doing brilliant this season. You could even say he's stepped up to that Ronaldo or Rooney type of player in being the focal point of the team, especially whilst Rooney is having his demons etc.
Goals against Liverpool as well are worth double IMO.

He'll have to keep his scoring ratio up over the course of a full season before he's a Rooney or Ronaldo. But you never know, hopefully he will.
that comentator fecking hell hahahha
Now his critics sit in silence.
about time
No.
I had a feeling this would be his year and I'm just so glad he has come out and proved it.
Come on LAD!
You can bang in 20-25 goals this season and prove all the doubters wrong.

I've seen pretty much every poster I can remember who has critisized him, post and speak about how great his performance was today. Maybe you just put them all on ignore or something
The knee is clearly healed.
no they are saying it's about time aren't they. or praising him.
He was brilliant today and has looked like he has had a new lease of life.
I don't know whether its linked but I have been told that he went to see Steve Bollen to sort out his knee and it does seem he is more happy in his play?

And that was the biggest problem.
I hope he's really encouraged by his performance, and the fans' reaction.
Yes.
If someone doubted that he'd do the business for 2 seasons, they'd be right. If they doubted he was the best partner for Rooney, they'd be right still to this day because we still havent seen a particularly good partnership from the two of them.
If they doubted he'd ever be able to do it individually for United, they'd be wrong.
Just to pick you up there, the goal you're thinking of was against Chelsea when Big Phil was in his final days as manager. Grant took over over a year before that, when Berba was still at Spurs.
I'm no Berbatov lover, and whilst this hat-trick goes a long way to bringing me around. He's no Norman Whiteside, but he joins Norman, Robbo, Eric, Strachan and quite a few others today by offically becoming a Scouse Buster....
You all know, he won't keep scoring like this all the time, right?
I just hope no one questions the man ever again. He's here to stay and be one of United's great

The thing is even when he wasn't scoring (and people were slating him) his general play has been consistently good, maybe people will start to notice that now.
he's certainly snapped out of it. better late than never. he was fantastic again today.
There has to be a song sung about this day for Berbatov. Too bad his name is so f'ing hard to put to tune.
Top scorer in the league.
It's entirely possible Drogba will get a hatrick at home to Blackpool though.

He just doesn't seem to score ugly goals!
From a technical standpoint this was the greatest and most spectaculat goal scored in a United vs. Liverpool game I have ever seen.
Can we just have a "Berba watch" thread and keep it all in one thread.
With fitness come's selfconfidence and now we see a man who enjoy playing at the Theatre of Dreams. Three big different factors from the last two seasons.
Both Berba and Nani play's with joy and selfconfidence. Simple as.
Go and do your ratings, noods.
All hail Berba ! Patience is a virtue. A complete natural !!
I've said it before in one of these Berbatov discussions, he just looks that bit leaner this season, if there were any excess pounds, he appears to have worked hard over the off-season and got rid of them
And I think he's benefitting from that, as he certainly appears to also be putting in more of a shift

Indeed. Really good to see him get the reception he did, and despite managing to hide it until he sat down there was a quick shot a massive grin on his face. Great to see.
Legendary hat-trick, couldn't have asked for a better birthday gift.
Don't know if it was the break, or the off season surgery(rehab he had on his knee/ankle). But he is a completely different player, looking to shoot a lot more, obviously he isn't super quick, but he doesn't look quite as sluggish as he did at times last season.
You just get the feeling even if he goes through a lean spell this season, his head won't drop, he has his self belief back.
If only Wazza would show up now, it would be nice to see them both in top form, we've never quite seen that.

My goodness, who can I bash now? Berba is scoring three goals in a game for us now? The feck. I need someone to bash. Please provide.
