Wait, Mimi, let me get this straight, the people from the otherside of the pitch were responsibile for Blackburn's 3 goals?

I think Mimi is not telling the truth. Berbatov cost us the game against Blackburn.

And I think Andrea has a much more imminent issue to ponder over - that of her beloved Hernandez being stuck right on Berbatov's place on the bench after he (Berbatov) leaves in a few weeks time....

Berbatov is leaving Man Utd according to SAF, so….When Berba was top goalscorer for Man Utd last season we got 19 th. When Rooney was top goalscorer for Man Utd 2009/2010 and this season too…..i just don’t…..no title (2009/2010)…. , Basel…., Atlethic Bilbao…..oh, man. Who cost us (Rooney's salary) more or what......

Hahaha so we won the league last season only because Berba scored 21 goals (most of which were with Rooney anyway), but the season before that we didn't win the league because Rooney, who scored 34 goals, didn't do enough. Class hahah***

You say it; I didn’t, read carefully my post! I just notice what you are saying, what a coincidence, OMG!

To, sentence, hard, OMG!! build.

When did I say he was the blame for us losing point in 4 of the 5 league games he started? Fun to twist qoutes, aye Mimi?

The Stat you keep quoting what meant to suggest what exactly? that he was to blame for our lack of points

I don't have to twist anything. You kept repeating a the same stat over and over again and I made a point to debunk it. I only ask you to be objective and have solid reasoning to back up your points. like the others are doing

I care for every single United player, as long as they put on our Shirt and want to help us. As fans, we are allowed to criticize them even, but I expect United Fans to be held to a certain level of higher brain capacity and footballing analysis, than other clubs also than what tends to be displayed here.

Have a good day.

I suppose writing these stats a reply to someone who suggested we could have blown the title race away just because we didn't play Berba just wasn't clear enough, aye? Good day to you too.

i hope fergie leaving berba out for most of the season doesnt affect united title fight when he played earlier in the year he can still score goals, just hasnt had enough games!

Funny we lost 8 points in games he started.

ANd how about the games Rooney started? Or Hernandez? Or Welbeck? Oh, excuse me, I forgot - Berbatov is supposed to win the games all by himself, despite the pathetic defenders, missing midfield and unstable goalkeeper. Amen!

Haha!! Spot on. It's the same statistic over and over again. I would have said however, defense was leaky, but of course Dimitar would get the blame.

Its almost lazy at this point, the bashing. The same thing goes for the Midfield bashing.

I get that people don't like the player and he has not always crowned himself in glory but blaming him only for the 8points missed is pathetic really.

Not really mimi112, one of the games Berbatov cost us was the game against Blackburn at Old Trafford on New Year's Eve.

Of course yes! The defeat against Blackburn game. That's it? Gosh! I thought there were many more this season where we lost and it was all Berba's fault.

It is being here that he cost us many games this season which is not true, you can blame a player for not scoring enough but there is also blame for the defense leaking in goals. It goes both ways, however that fact seems to be ignored in order to push a sentiment.

It would be more credible to be objective, by highlighting all the thing that went wrong. We did not play well, all the players.

No one is asking that anybody glorify Berbatov, I couldn't care less. I am just gently reminding, that there were other players present on the pitch at the time in that game. Who were not not good as well.

How did Blackburn score their last goal? Did Berba throw it into our own net?

Objectivity when bashing please. It's all I ask

You are defending Berbatov very badly and no, Berbatov did not throw into our own net. When it was 0-0, Blackburn had possession and then Berbatov fouled Aiyegbeni Yakobu of Blackburn in the penalty area.

Andrea

oooh exactly, he gave away a penalty but then scored 2 goals to make of for it. What happened to let in a 2 and 3rd? Who was to blame for those goals? The Striker who had attoned? Why make of for it by scoring if your just going to be conceding

Let me help with that: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/dec/31/manchester-united-blackburn-rovers-report

14 min: Blackburn win a penalty after Dimitar Berbatov grabs Chris Samba by the shirt and drags him to the ground in the United penalty area. GOAL! Manchester United 0-1 Blackburn Rovers (Yakubu) Yakubu sends David De Gea the wrong way, calmly stroking the ball inside the left upright after waiting for the goalkeeper to make his move.

GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 0-2 BLACKBURN ROVERS (Yakubu 50) Astonishing stuff! Yakubu takes advantage of some faffing by Michael Carrick on the left flank, powers past Jones and rifles the ball past David De Gea. Bottom of the table Blackburn are two goals to the good.

GOAL! Manchester United 1-2 Blackburn Rovers (Berbatov 52) After a fluffed clearance in the Blackburn penalty area, the ball drops kindly for Rafael, who tries a shot. His effort fizzes across the face of goal and Berbatov gets between defenders to head home from about four yards out.

GOAL! Manchester United 2-2 Blackburn Rovers (Berbatov 62) Antonio Valencia powers down the right flank, outpacing Henley. Just before reaching the byline, he cuts the ball back to Berbatov, standing near the penalty spot. The Bulgarian has to reach behind him with his left foot before calmly clipping the ball low and hard past Mark Bunn. It was a difficult finish made to look very easy.

So what at the end?

GOAL! Manchester United 2-3 Blackburn Rovers (Hanley 80)| Normality is resumed as Blackburn go back in front. From a corner, David De Gea dashed off his line and flapped at the ball. It was headed goalwards by - I think - Samba, then Grant Hanley followed up to head home just inside the right upright from a couple of yards out. It's his first ever career goal!

83 min: That was terrible goalkeeping from De Gea, who had absolutely no business going for that ball and not getting it. His manager will be furious. The big question now is whether or not Blackburn can hold out for another 10 minutes? And if they do, how will their fans react to Steve Kean at their next home games? A win here and Rovers will have taken four points from visits to Anfield and Old Trafford, after all. No doubt they'll see it as two points dropped.

Never let facts get in the way of a good story though hmmm

Go and look for the statistic that says Berba scored and he was at fault for us the conceding all "3" goals and eventual defeats.

I don't care about what happened with the second and third goal and yes, Berbatov scored two goals. But that is not the point, one stupid penalty from Berbatov means that he cost United the game.

Finally, now your being honest. You never had any facts to use as back up. According to you, you don't care what happened after the goal, cos the penalty was at the beginning of the game

A little advice, if your an adult, in your adult life, people will often demand solid logic to go with the things you "say" unless your a politician of course then you don't need to think.

Have it prepared next time.

Hate is not a United Value

berbatovs style of play doesn't suit united.

Berba cannot keep up with any fast passing of the ball. He slows down every move.He cannot play against City. Anyway surely he is on his way out.

Wait, Mimi, let me get this straight, the people from the otherside of the pitch were responsibile for Blackburn's 3 goals?

Berba scored twice on one end of the pitch (the Blackburn end) and the people at the other end of the pitch aka our "defense" also conceded. All I'm stating is that you remember there is enough blame to go round.

You seem not to be able to grasp that, it is a team sport

In 20 seasons of the Premier League United have never conceded more goals at Old Trafford. Our latest against Everton, this was also the seventh time this season they have conceded three or more.

You can blame one striker for all our defeats all you want but the stats you love to repeat so much tell a different story.

Go and look for the statistic that says Berba scored and he was at fault for us the conceding all the goals and eventual defeats.

When the master SAF talks about our defence leaking in goals and you talk about 1 striker being the cause then I know that something is wrong in your reasoning somewhere. I listen to the Boss and perhaps you should too.

Well done for doing his job, right after giving one of the most stupid penalties I've seen. Right, so it's a team sport when he's playing and we don't win, yet when we're doing better without him, he's needed? But I thought it was a team sport...

It is a team sport anytime of any day. The OP seems to think he has a different style and can offer something different, whether or not that is true is not what you seem to be highlighting

you have been saying throughout the thread that he was the cause for our past defeats, and that's why he shouldn't play and I went on to disprove that.

If you don't think he offers something different then that's fine.

However to be blaming "1" player every time we lost a game this season as the sole reason for the not playing is not the way to do that.

Mentioning Blackburn over and over again is not making your case.

The point is you can address the issue of if he brings something different without blaming a single player for our defeats. You mentioned you favourite stat about 8/15 v 76/90 something like that

That is fine, but you forgot to mention that collectively the "team" is playing better overall and our form improved by bringing Paul scholes which back has given us solidity and cutting edge passes in midfield, that by less defensive lapses because Jonny Evans has grown as player and in confidence which SAF tried to address and that is the real "overall" reason things are now working out. "not he gave away one the most stupid penalties I have ever seen" is not good enough, sorry

In your desperation to make a case why he must not play you failed to be objective.

Tell the whole story by using your thinking faculties, is all I'm saying

Did you mean the man who was too pride to chase any through ball unless u feed him the perfect 'to feet' pass, can offer something different ?

He might be much talented in technique and skill, but he is lacking in pace and workrate, something that Fergie already realized at the end of the last season.

I don't think Berba can do any magic anymore. He is rusty..
