Please read http://community.manutd.com/forums/t/40237.aspx before making any more unfair and un educated statements about him. One penelty miss doesnt make him the worst player at united, if it did then what are you saying about ferdinand??
Mate, play good but miss a penalty kick, people won't talk, but playing badly and also miss a penalty kick is a disaster.
R F missed a penalty kick, but he played very well and thanks to the 4 defenders and sometimes Fosters (who made several terrible mistakes) we didn't concede a goal.
Ziko missed, Blatini as well and many others, but during the matches before and after they played well.
At least hit the ball properly
Thats bull. Play good but miss a penalty, thats ok? Not really. Penalties are a lottery. I agree Berbatov hit one of the worst penalties I have seen in my life. But dont forget he came on in extra time. There were 11 other players on the pitch for 90 minutes including the player everyone considers a god on this froum, Tevez. Did Tevez score in 90 mins, um nope. Did he score in the extra time? No, did he even take a penalty? No. Get off Berbatovs back. If you think he's bad then hassling him all the time isnt gonna give him much confidence is it? If he heard the fans behind him it would do him good. Dont forget Ronaldo missed a penalty in the Champions League. He got lucky in the end. I didnt hear many calling for him to be sold after that. And as I posted on a different post (which seems dead) :
Rooney has 9 goals this season in the league and Berbatov has 8. (Ronaldo top for United with 15, Rooney is second highest)
Rooney has 5 assists and Berbatov has 9. (Giggs second highest for United with 7)
Rooney is 318 in the Actim Index and Berbatov is 489. (Berbatov is highest for United and 5th Overall)
I know some people may disagrees with the Actim Index but it covers everything, goals, assists, distance covered, etc..
Not to mention another guy posted that Berbatov scored the winning goal in the following matches :
United 1 - 0 Middleborough - 29th December 2008
United 1 - 0 Bolton -
17th January 2009
United 2 - 1 Tottenham - 24th January
2009
United 2 - 1 Newcastle - 4th March 2009
I think Berbatov will be better next season, after a full season with United and a proper pre-season to train with the club.
Oh not to mention the fact that when Berbatov's penalty was saved it was all square as Cahill had missed so. So Ferdinands penalty was the one that cost us. But even saying that I dont blame Ferdinand.
