Maybe, I can see Berba starting but not as a lone striker. Maybe Berba-Owen for the game vs Fulham?
But the peno is the reason we lost! We didn't concede when they were pressing us, they got a penalty after we were attacking, and Cech (I think) started a quick counter on us. Luiz scored before Hernandez went off.
Did Berba do this? If so I don't recall it, the one real moment of class hold up play was followed by 3-4 touches too many and he got the ball robbed.
Not slagging him off mind, not an easy game to come into, but he certainly didn't do a better job of holding up the ball in his limited time than Hernandez.
I give up.
I'm confused!But anyway, yeah, in last nights game the Cheech/Berb switch amounted to pretty much nothing, agreed on that. Hernandez did look shagged tired though.
No he didn't - there was one time he was in his customary get the ball and work his way out of trouble but, got the ball taken from him. He didn't really get many chances though to hold up the ball beyond that.
We were both banging heads I think in a very pointless argument
Very true regarding last night.
He didn't do a better job as it turned out because - as you say - it was a very high intensity game and he didn't really adjust to the pace of the game quick enough.
It was definitely a good substitution though. Hernandez looked knackered and Berbatov is usually better than him at making sure we hold onto possession. He just didn't really look it in the short time he was on last night.

aye, was thinking that myself
Yeah I think the substitution had to be made, Hernandez looked shattered after that lung busting run to rob Drogba of the ball.
That was the moment that summed up our performance for me.
Either that or Carrick out-pacing and out-muscling the same player. Michael Carrick ffs!
When did we sign Tony Blair?
That's terrifying.
thought that was Tevez
That's fecking hideous, and looks nothing like him.
it looks retarded...
That would be fine if they hadn't decided to give Hernandez Ronaldhinio teeth.
I don't think comedy masks are supposed to be an exact replica of the person they're portraying. I think that is kind of the 'idea' of them.
The butterflies are spot on though.
Yeah but you should still be able to work out who it is, if this wasn't in the Hernandez thread I wouldn't have a scooby!
This is a proper joke mask..

The scariest thing about that picture is that it has real uses underneath. Someone was clearly wearing it for the picture but the way all 'normality' has been edited out of it and being on an all white background, the human eyes behind the mask is far too creepy.
Hernandez, all he does is score goals.
fecking love him
This guy is the real deal.
Pure class, and is only going to get better...
Yeaher
The boy is fecking immense
Ruud van Solsirito.
£6m? F*** off. Buy of the season.
It occurred to me that he's a bit like Inzaghi except blindingly fast.
He's having quite the debut season.
And to think we bought him for a bag of KP Ready Salted. Good bit of business from United. Hope we can find another gem like Chica in the summer.

i love him
Solskjaer would be proud !
He can be a dirty little f***er when he wants to be though too. He isn't just a feather on the pitch. He gets stuck in, leaves his leg in, is aggressive on the ball...he's got his wits about him and can handle himself. It's what makes him 'work' in England I think, in addition to his other attributes.
So sweet having him in our team.
Brilliant poacher which we've lacked since '07.
Offers a totally different threat in addition to what we usually have.

Has the potential to score 40+ goals in one of the next seasons. Incredible combination of clever movement, pace, heading ability and poaching insticts.
